In 2010, the local youth groups of South India made a decision to expel the Satpanthis from the executive as part of the Sanat campaign. This decision was based on the white paper issued by Shree Samaj, which aimed to promote the campaign and eliminate mavalist activities.

During a general meeting held in Tirupur, South India Region, which included elections, there was a clash of ideas between the Sanatan and Satpanth groups. Rameshbhai Ramani, who was a Satpanthi General Minister at the time, held a higher position and had more influence. Due to the tense atmosphere, the elections were postponed and rescheduled to take place in Chennai three months later.

During a three-month period, Sanat friends from the South India region submitted to the Central Yuva Sangh that the youths were saying that Shri Samaj had issued a white paper. However, they have not received any suggestions from the Yuva Sangh, so they question why they should rush. To address this concern, ‘Kesari Patra’ was created, and on July 20, 2010, it was broadcasted throughout India.

During the meeting in Chennai, Sanat’s friends stayed in touch with the Yuva Sangh and managed to invite the former President, Shri Premjibhai Kesharani and the then President, Shri Jayantibhai Ramani. A day prior to the meeting, they discussed the next strategy with the group in an undisclosed location.

During the executive meeting, the first one of the day, a letter was presented by the then General Minister, Shri Rameshbhai Ramani. He requested that we read it. The president of Sanat at that time, Shri Ramnikbhai, said that there was no need to read it. However, Rameshbhai insisted that if the name of the congregation was mentioned, we had to read it. In response, the President said that if that letter was to be read, this other letter – the ‘Kesari Patra’ given to him – should also be read.

In essence, the letter from those individuals conveyed the message that we should pursue our own path. If there is any discord in our unity, then there is no need for organizations such as Shri Samaj or Yuva Sangh. The idea was that, under the oath of Ekta-Sampa-Sangthan, it would be impossible to divide our mother society and Yuva Sangh. The letter was signed by office bearers from Tirupur, Kanchipuram, Shegotta, and Kerala zones. However, this letter failed to hold its ground against ‘Kesari Patra’ and was ultimately unsuccessful. Sanat’s sting was felt for a long time thereafter.

At that time, due to the high level of public outrage, the Sanatani surrendered without a fight. As a result, the ‘Kesari Patra’ was first implemented in South India.
