61. Nana Angiya Laxminarayan Samaj

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

Karmavir elders (Mavitro) who left Shri Nana Angiya Khana Satpanth and embraced Sanatan fought a lot with Satpanth and there were even physical fights and cases were filed. Then Satpanthis played a different game with brotherhood. Due to which Sanatani elders faced a lot of difficulties. Satpanthi brothers did not give even a single utensil or any share in property from Khana. This was their crooked policy. Then in a room, Pan Murti (image on leaf) of Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan was established.

The first establishment day of Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan Temple was Samvat 2005 Shravan Vad Aatham (Eighth day of dark half of Shravan), Wednesday Date 17-08-1949. Pran-Pratishtha (Consecration) of Panmurti in Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan Temple was done on Samvat 2017 Shravan Sud 7 (Seventh day of bright half of Shravan), Friday Date 18/08/1961. Pran-Pratishtha of idols of Shri Laxminarayan as well as family deities in the renovated Shikharbandh Temple was done on Samvat 2055 Shravan Sud 7, Wednesday Date 18/08/1999.

 The list of Karmavir social reformer elders is written below :

1.     Kanji Narayan Bhagat

2.     Nanji Devshi Bhagat

3.     Devshi Shivdas Parsiya

4.     Shamji Nathu Parsiya

5.     Abji Sivji Meghani

6.     Premji Megji Mukhi (Meghani)

7.     Shivgan Bhimji Mukhi (Meghani)

8.     Hansraj Nanji Meghani

9.     Gabha Kanji Chopra

11.  Shivji Ruda Keshrani

12.  Ramji Pona Parshiya

13.  Dhanji Master Parshiya

14.  Premji Bapa Chopra

15.  Velji Hirji Keshrani

 

 

These elders showed great courage and Hansraj Nanji Mukhi (Meghani) served as priest in it for 15 years and Shigan Bhimji Mukhi (Meghani) of the same family was Mukhi (Head) of Khana. Renouncing it he embraced Sanatan and his son Devji Shigan Bhimji Mukhi (Meghani) had Mukhi’s turban inside the Khana. Renouncing it he embraced Sanatan and his son Devji Shivgan, Arjan Shivgan got body purification done by hands of Brahmins and wore sacred thread. Shigan Bapa, Hansraj Bapa Meghani family has neither taken nor given any girl to Satpanthi from Vikram Samvat 2005 to 2079. And has not even gone to funeral rites or religious ceremony of Satpanthi. That practice is continuing in that family even today. Second temple Pan Murti establishment of Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan was done on Shravan Sud Satam (Seventh day), Friday Date 18-08-1961. As days passed gradually one by one family left Satpanth and kept joining Sanatan. Third time Pran-Pratishtha (Consecration) of idols of Bhagwan Shri Laxminarayan and family deities in Shikharbandh temple was done on Samvat 2055 Shravan Sud Satam, Wednesday Date 18-08-1999. This is the brief outline of Shri Nana Angiya Laxminarayan Sanatan.

Even though years have passed, there is Satpanth’s Jagiya/Khana in Angiya and there is still population of Satpanth in village. Properties have been divided. Some property is together, as per rules of society they do not do any kind of dealing with Satpanth. Never participate in final rites or religious ceremony. They celebrate occasions like Janmashtami or Navratri separately and after 6th convention of 2010 Swarnim Mahotsav till now many families are leaving Satpanth and joining Sanatan.
