Held in the year 1976, the 18th century mahotsava completed the 25 years and there were thoughts of celebrating the silver anniversary. But it was unanimously decided to celebrate it in samvat 2066 magshar Sud 11 to magshar sud 15 dated 28/11/2009 to 02/12/09. In this Mahotsava it’s planned to organize hundred Chandi maha yagya.
Once again striving towards the pranpratistha for bringing a new life into the statue is offcourse a religious thing but also a great idea to bring together the entire kadva patidar community once again. The patidars from across the world shall throng the temple and approximately 40 to 50 lac people are expected to arrive for the mahotsava.
The income generated shall be spent for the welfare of the society. Currently we are not able to contribute much to the various social services as desired, but there shall be improvement therein. Till date lot of care was given to the girl’s education and hence it seems the boys education suffered. Now efforts shall be made to inculcate education amongst the boys also. At many place in Gujarat there are plans to develop character education. There are plans for agriculture development cells also. To keep the society free of bad habits, maintain cultural heritage and dignified upkeep of the old people shall be the main concern. To lend help in the business development plans of needy and deserving shall also be planned.
To bridge the gap between the community members staying in the cities and the villages is also on the cards.
This way, the idea behind the silver jubilee celebration is to see that the community keeps pace with the developments of the 21st century and can represent itself with pride in the society.
The kurmi community people staying at M.P, Rajasthan and also U.P shall also be brought closer to the others. The impact of Ma Umiya is spreading far and wide to the far flung areas like U.P, Bihar, Orissa and Nepal also. All the people should come together under the auspices of Ma Umiya and earn success should be our endevour. For that there is also a plan to take a ‘Jyotirath’ across these places. This will lead to increased brotherhood and togetherness.
