In the beginning, everyone in village Virani–Nani was a follower of Pirana Panth. Marriage and post-death rituals were also performed according to the religion of Pirana Satpanth. Surani (Bhagat) family was the first to renounce Satpanth in the village. Their elder Shri Mulji Keshra Surani (Bhagat) was the first to be cremated. Gradually other families also renounced Pirana Satpanth and established Navratri Garbi in 1963 AD along with other community members of the village. A few years later, a temple of Lord Shankar was constructed in the village.

Immovable property of the village such as land, community hall (Samajwadi), veranda etc. were established together by the entire Kadva Patidar community. Which was registered in 1962 AD under the name “Kadva Patidar Samaj – Village Virani Nani”. At that time everyone lived together. After some years, in 1998 AD “Shree Laxminarayan Sanatani Samaj” was formed and those believing in Pirana formed another Satpanth Samaj.

In 1994, Piranapanthis quietly transferred the property of Kadva Patidar Samaj in the name of Satpanth Jyotidham Mandir in the Deputy Charity Office, Bhuj. This sowed the seeds of discord in the village. Gradually seeing the change in speech, behavior and dealings of Satpanthi brothers, Sanatani brothers started suspecting that something is fishy. So in a meeting held in 1998, Sanatani brothers demanded to show the registration copy of this property. At that time Magan Dana Bhagat went to get the copy and when he came to the meeting, he showed useless papers instead of the original copy. There was a heated argument and when Sanatani brothers got a duplicate copy from Deputy Charity Bhuj, they came to know about the real deeds of Satpanthis. As mentioned earlier, the seeds of discord that were sown now started taking the form of a quarrel.

Date for meeting is decided for discussions and reconciliation on this issue, but no one from their side turns up. Finally for justice, Sanatani brothers filed a case in Rajkot Charity Commissioner in 1999 and on date 20-02-2002, Honorable Charity Commissioner Chairman ordered to re-register the property changed in 1994 in the name of trust “Kadva Patidar Samaj” formed in 1962. Satpanthis did not accept this order and went for appeal in Bhuj District Court. In this way court cases continued.

Sanatani brothers, annoyed by such behavior of Satpanthis, celebrated the Silver Jubilee festival of 25 years of Koteshwar Mahadev Temple of Virani Nani with fanfare in August of the same year keeping Satpanthis away. In retaliation, Satpanthis filed a defamation case in Mandvi Taluka Court against Sanatan Samaj President Naran Nanji Vasani and Koteshwar Temple Committee President Karsan Kanji Vasani. Seven other Satpanthis also started filing false cases against other Sanatanis by going to different Taluka courts. Thus, harassment continued by filing completely false cases against total 12 Sanatanis.

A few years ago, Satpanthis started renovating Patidar Samajwadi by taking a wrong resolution from Gram Panchayat. Replaced tiles with sheets. While doing that work, to prevent Sanatan Samaj people from opposing and to keep them in fear, they instigated brothers of Dalit community and kept them as watchmen. Navratri material of Sanatan Yuvak Mitra Mandal was in a room of Samaj Wadi, threw it out on the road. Since brothers and sisters of Dalit community were watchmen, no one dared to oppose fearing that these people would file false claims. Yuvak Mandal quietly brought back the Navratri material from the house of a Satpanthi brother.

Currently Sanatanis have also filed counter cases. Thus, friction regarding property of Kadva Patidar Samaj continues. Sometimes the opposite party succeeds in breaking Sanatani unity by misleading our young brothers, sometimes fails. Working with expectation of good and true result. Still the unity of Sanatanis is very good.
