61. Nana Angiya Laxminarayan Samaj

Shri Navinbhai alias Hiralal Devji Parasiya
– President of Nana Angiya Laxminarayan Samaj

Shree Nana Agiya Khan left the Satpanth and embraced Sanatan. The activist Mavitro also left the Satpanth and engaged in several fights, for which he was sued and later killed. Following this, the Satpanthis separated themselves from the brotherhood, causing a lot of trouble for the elders of Sanat. The Satpanthi brothers did not share any property or vessels from Khana, which was their crooked policy. Later, a Pan Murti of Lord Sri Lakshminarayana was installed in one of the rooms.

 

The first Lord Shri Lakshminarayana temple was established on Wednesday, 17th August 1949, which was Samvat 2005 Shravan Vad 8th. The Prana-Pratishtha of the Panmurti in Bhagwan Shri Lakshminarayan Temple was done on Friday, 18th August 1961, which was Samvat 2017 Shravan Sud 7. In the Shikharband Jirnodhar temple, the idol of Sri Lakshminarayan and the family deities were given Prana Pratishtha on Wednesday, 18th August 1999, which was Samvat 2055 Shravan Sud 7.

The family’s elders embarked on countless thrilling adventures that left them with a treasure trove of tales to tell. During this time, Hansraj Nanji Mukhi (Meghani) performed Seva Puja for 15 years, while Shigan Bhimji Mukhi (Meghani) was the head of the Khana. Mukhi’s turban was kept in the house of his son Devji Shigan Bhimji Mukhi (Meghani), who later renounced it and embraced Sanatan. His sons, Devji Shigan and Arjan Shigan, underwent body purification by Brahmins and assumed Janoi. From Vikram Samvat 2005 to 2079, not a single Santpathi girl was taken or given in the Shigan Bapa and Hasraj Bapa Meghani family. They did not even attend the burial ceremony or religious activities of the saint. This tradition continues in the family to this day. 

 

The second temple of Lord Lakshminarayana was established on the seventh Friday of Shravan Sud, on August 18, 1961. As time went by, one family after another left Satpanth and joined Sanatan. However, Satpanth still exists in Angiya, and the village still has a Satpanth population. The property has been divided, and according to the rules of the society, some Satpanth families do not deal with certain properties or participate in final acts or rituals. They separate events like Janmashtami or Navratri. After the 6th edition of Savarnam Mohotsav in 2010, many families left Satpanth and joined Sanatan.
