On the holy day of Samvat 2002 Vaishakh Sud Punam Date 16–May-1946, our Ishtadev Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan arrived in Khombhadi village in the form of Pan Murti. If we assess the situation of that time, we will get an idea how much our caste reformer elders must have struggled against Satpanth. It was not a small thing to carve the path of our original Sanatan Hindu Dharma in the caste again against the flow flowing at full speed of Satpanth. Which reformer elders did that work is not important but the work was done is very important. It is also not a small thing that exactly 25 years after the establishment of the temple with Pan Murti (old temple) in the village, our elders built the currently existing temple of Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan with permanent idols.

Reformer elder of Khombhadi village Shri Narayan Shivji Vagadiya had come in contact with the pioneer reformer of our caste Shri Narayanji Ramji Limbani and Shri Ratanshi Khimji Khetani, so he had bid farewell forever to Pirana Satpanth religion created by Imamshah Bawa responsible for alienating our caste from Hinduism. During the Sanatani movement in Mumbai, elder Shri Narayan Shivji Vagadiya had met those two elders in many meetings. Shri Narayan Shivji Vagadiya had made monumental efforts to challenge Pirana Satpanth ideology and strengthen Sanatani ideology in Khombhadi village. His and another Sanatani elder of Khombhadi Shri Madhavji Bhimji Bhagat’s Sanatani ideology was so firm and strong that both these elders were also members of the first executive committee of Central Sanatani Samaj at the time of establishment of Kuldevi Umiya Mataji temple at Vandhay in year 1944. In that era and at that time, these two elders had raised voice against Satpanthi ideology against Khana Panthis in Khombhadi village.

Raising such a voice against Satpanth at that time was like chewing iron grams (a very difficult task). Still facing many difficulties like being outcasted by Khana Panthis, relations and engagements getting cut off, they succeeded in establishing Sanatani ideology in Khombhadi village. Even after remaining out of caste for eighteen-eighteen years, they did not lose courage. Weak hearted people surrender if such sufferings come from the caste. At that time, only three other families from the entire Khombhadi village supported regarding Sanatani ideology. One of them was the family of Madhavji Bhimji Bhagat, second family was the family of Jetha Bapa Ukani i.e. family of Dr. Gangdas Bapa Ukani and third family was the family of Muljibhai Shivji Vasani. These families had suffered hardships like fatwas of outcasting from Satpanth Samaj for 18-18 years.

On the very next day of the inauguration of the old temple with Pan Murti established by Shri Khombhadi Patidar Sanatan Samaj, 80-90 houses separated from Khana Panthis and merged into our Shri Khombhadi Patidar Sanatan Samaj. The main credit for this goes to elder Shri Ratanshi Khimji Khetani of Virani and elder Shri Ladharam Bapa Ravani (Hatwala) of Khombhadi village. Ratanshi Khimji Khetani of Virani was the founder president of our Kutch Kadva Patidar Sanatan Samaj (Central Samaj) at that time and Ladharam Bapa Hatwala was a wealthy gentleman of Khombhadi village, who had a big business in Delhi. After that in course of time almost all brothers (leaving some brothers) separated from Satpanth Samaj of Khombhadi, bid farewell to Pirana Satpanth religion forever and re-embraced our original Sanatan Hindu Dharma and merged into Sanatan Samaj. Now today only a few families have remained in Satpanth Samaj. But Sanatani brothers of the village have a belief along with a determination in mind that all Khana Wala brothers of Khombhadi village will merge into Sanatan Samaj and whatever property of Khana which originally belonged to the whole village, will become of Shri Khombhadi Patidar Sanatan Samaj one day in future. Truth finally remains truth.

The first Sanatani elder of the village Shri Narayan Shivji Vagadiya had a dream that a temple of Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan should be built in Khombhadi village and Pan Murti of Ishtadev Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan should be established in it. But Sanatani brothers of that time regretted a lot that his wish could not be fulfilled in his lifetime. But one has to accept the decree of fate. After that his unfinished work was completed by elder Shri Madhavji Bhimji, elder Shri Mulji Shivji Vasani, Dr. Gangdas Ukani, elder Shri Jetha Bapa Ukani, elder Shri Meghji Shivji Vagadiya and elder Shri Ratanshi Naran Vagadiya. When the temple was established on 16.05.1946 of Samvat 2002, the body of founder president of Shri Khombhadi Patidar Sanatan Samaj Shri Naran Shivji Vagadiya had merged into five elements.
