Kolhapur is dubbed as Dakshin Kashi, which means the holy pilgrimage site of Mahalakshmi Mataji of Karvir Nivasi. It is a well-known historical, commercial, and industrial center of Maharashtra. Patidars have been residing in this city for business since around 1940, and in a short span of time, the population of Kolhapur society reached 2500.
The Vidhisar of the Samaj was established under the leadership of Khimji Lalji Bhadani, who was the elder of Prakhar Sanatan during the first administration. Ratanshi Khetani’s father-in-law was the chief activist of the eternal movement of our society. After that, Satpanthi held power in society for years by playing Rajramat. Two of the then-presidents of the Kolhapur Samaj became presidents of the Satpanth Samaj, which helped in spreading Satpanth by luring and tricking their relatives, intimates, wives, and poor women. Even today, despite understanding everything and the situation, these Satpanthi brothers have benefited greatly from Pirana that they still do not want to leave this Muslim sect.
After publishing the “White Paper” in the general meeting held at Nakhtrana by our Shri Akhil Bharatiya Kutch Kadwa Patidar Samaj, the general meeting of Kolhapur Patidar Sanatan Samaj on 25.07.2011 was held at Kolhapur. In which the subject of the implementation of the white paper, the Satpanthi elder asked for an extension saying that within 15 days we would think and inform the entire society, but as all the Sanatians know the functioning of the Satpanthi throughout India, immediately one of his Satpanthi brothers demanded the minutes of the annual general meeting of the society. Also, a team of four to five lawyers from Satpanthi came from Ahmedabad and visited all the properties of the society and conducted a survey. So all the workers of Kolhapur society were alerted.
In the society, financially weak Sanatani families started trying to be lured by Satpanthi by giving financial and business greed. But the conscious leaders of the society took appropriate steps in time. Made these families aware of the true facts and provided the necessary help. These families also supported Sanatan Samaj wholeheartedly. So, the situation came under control.
Meanwhile, in the annual general meeting of Kolhapur Patidar Sanatan Mahila Mandal, the Sarva Satpanthi sisters were replaced by the Sarva Sanatani sisters by a majority and as the president of Mahila Mandal, my wife Sau. Godavariben Harilal Vagadia was appointed. So the Satpanthi sisters quarreled and quarreled a lot and the irritated Satpanthi sisters called their household members. The Satpanthis immediately locked the top-down shutters of the Samajwadi and committed the vile and reprehensible and inhumane act of confining the women to one place. On getting this news, the Sanatan members of the society immediately reached the Patidar Bhavan and opened the lock and released the sisters. At that time Satpanthi brothers shouted loudly and threatened to see you tomorrow. So the workers of Kolhapur Patidar Samaj cautiously took a diminishing step so that any mischief of the Satpanthis could not succeed.
To comply with the judgment dated 08.10.2017 from Umiya Mataji Sansthan, Unja, the President of Kolhapur Samaj Shri Gopalbhari Valjibhari Bhavani and also the Chairman of Sanatni Shatabdi Mahotsav and his colleagues tried hard to convince the Satpanthis and the Satpanthis were giving false assurance on the court date. Guaranteed to pull it off every time.
To date, five families from Samju Satpanthi have joined Sanatan and withdrawn their claims. Thank you very much for that. The claims of other Satpanthi are still going on in which I have appeared on behalf of the society. Therefore, before the beginning of Shatabdi Mohotsav i.e. before 11, 12, 13, 14-May 2023, Kuldevi Ma Umiya and Ishtadev Shri Lakshminarayan grant good wisdom to all Satpanthis, same prayer.
You will be glad to know that the cases pending in the Court of Charity Commissioner have come in favor of Sanatan Samaj. All Sanatani applications are accepted. A few civil cases are going on, which the Satpanthis have done to harass the Sanatani, which will be solved well in time.
Presently, only 2 to 3% of people are in Satpanth. The rest belongs entirely to Samaj Sanat. Which shows the commitment of the society to the Sanat. Kolhapur society has always been firmly connected with the central society and will always be connected in the future.
At present, the entire country of India is moving the country towards Hindurashtra due to the successful leadership of our popular Prime Minister Narendrabhari Modi and Amitbhari Shah, I pray to Mother Umia that these Satpanthis understand the meaning behind this and wake up. The mere saying of Sanatan does not make one Sanat. Have we become completely independent from the Islamic mindset? Everyone has to know the answer to this question.
