Saurashtra Baj Khedaval News

We shall publish inspiring news on this page. We shall publish the morale-boosting reports of notable work that can guide and motivate  the caste-fellows.

The news may be related to inspiring achievements by an individual or a group in cultural, fine arts,  technological or some non-conventional fields.  We plan to  include news-reports of important Gyati Mandal activities, special functions and celebrations. The report should not exceed 400 characters or  5 lines. If photographs are e-mailed with the report, we shall try to publish one of them.  The report and the photo may be edited on the website.

Ahmedabad Mandal has set an  exemplary policy that they do not unduly highlight or promote an individual. Bravo, Ahmedabad Mandal! In accordance with that excellent policy, we may not publish personal photograph of an individual.

Shri  Rajkot  Mandal appreciates our Internet activities

I received a letter from Shri Mukundbhai N. Dave, Maha-Mantri, Shri Saurashtra Baj Khedaval Brahman Vidya Prasarak Mandal, Rajkot. He has generously praised our efforts to promote the NET activities among the Gyati. He has specially mentioned the Gyati Website and endorsed its usefulness. He has promised to promote the NET activities among the Gyati-jan.

Thank you, Mukund bhai, for your encouragement and warm support.  Thank you Rajkot Mandal, for your appreciation of our activities. We all together can lead our Gyati on the path of progress.

Today I have placed Rajkot Mandal details on the HELP page.

The INTERNET activities

Before the recent function, I personally wrote hundreds of letters to the caste-fellows in different cities.

As a result, many caste-fellows have taken our Internet activities seriously. But I understand that Internet-phobia is still there in our Caste. Very few caste-fellows are aware of  the importance and values of the NET. Fewer still actually do surfing. Practically no one is doing any constructive work on the NET.

Who is to be blamed for such a situation?

We, the elders and the leaders should do an introspection. Have we led by example? Have we ever encouraged the Caste-fellows to turn to the technology?

I have been making frantic efforts to promote the NET activities since August last. Thanks to the efforts of  Shri Maheshbhai Mehta,  Shri Kishorbhai Dave from Mumbai, Shri Rajendrabhai Mehta (Ahmedabad),  and few other equally enthusiastic caste-fellows, we could reach up to some 30-odd members membership in the Group! Is it a good picture for our caste? This is an open appeal to all to think.

I see rays of hope NOW.  Yesterday, the leaders were kind enough to promote the NET activities whole-heartedly. The NET activities for Caste were highlighted frequently with special announcements. And see! What impact can the leaders make! They NOW seem to be taking the NET activities seriously.  They have assured support. Thanks to all!

In my personal meetings with the leaders of Gyati yesterday, I have emphasized that we, all the leaders, should set example before our  Caste-fellows. All the leaders  MUST take the NET activities seriously. No excuses of age or time! I appeal to all leaders and volunteers to learn the basics of the NET. I am ready to guide all of you. We have world-class leaders any Gyati should be proud of. They have vision and unfailing dedication to the cause. They have integrity of exceptional standards. Why should we lag behind then?

Come forward, my dear Leaders! Let us march forward! Let us set example before our Gyati-jan!

Together we grow!

Ahmedabad Gyati Function at Ahmedabad (11-12th Feb,06)

The Gyati Function organised by Shree Saurashtra Baj Khedaval Brahmin Charitable Trust, Ahmedabad was a memorable programme with great fanfare at Ahmedabad on 11th and 12th February, 2006. Our Gyati-jan from Ahmedabad and distant places attended the event with enthusiasm and joy.  The Samuh Yagnopavit samaroh was a boon to many families in these days.  Likewise, the Jeevan-Sathi Pasandagi Samaroh provided an excellent platform for the participants to initiate communication.

The volunteers of Ahmedabad Trust really worked very hard to the minutest details to make the event a successful one. Their team work and dedication was beyond question. In the true spirit of solidarity, the leaders of other Mandals from different towns and cities attended the function and made it quite graceful.

When the Programme is arranged on such a massive scale, there could be isolated cases of the so-called near-chaotic condition. But such situations are really beyond the control of the organizers and indeed  acceptable. We need to learn more discipline. At the same time, the management may think out a better system wherever they find some pitfalls.

Let Us Grow Together!

Thank you, Pravin bhai! Thank you, Dr Mehta!

Dr. Bhalchandra bhai Joshi supports our activities.

I had a meeting with Dr. Bhalchandra Joshi today at his office.  I explained my Internet plans for the Gyati to him. He was impressed by the use of the Internet. He took deep interest in "Blogs" and enquired what blogs are and what their role is. He was greatly charmed by the blogs.
