The Sangathan — from devotion to leadership.
A living structure built for the young people of the Chuwadiya Koli community. Three things sit under one roof here: devotion to Sant Shri Velnath Bapu, presence in the everyday questions of the community, and a steady resolve to bring young people onto every platform.
How we began.
‘Sangathan Sarvopari’ — the organization comes first. This isn't just a slogan; it's our direction. Jay Velnath Yuva Sangathan was born from a simple idea: if the young people of the community come together under one roof, we can move the needle on devotion, social service, and political leadership all at once.
Today the Sangathan is active across Manavadar, Junagadh, Timbavadi, Vijapur, Paneli, Plasva — many villages and cities. We stay close to our members through Instagram, Facebook and YouTube; every activity is documented, so even a member far away remains part of the story.
This website is the Sangathan's digital home — a place to see our work, our leadership, our gatherings; and for any young person who wants to join, a direct path in.
Sant Shri Velnath Bapu is the pillar of devotion for the Chuwadiya Koli community. Every activity of the Sangathan begins under his blessings, with the call of Jay Velnath Bapu.
The Koli community is one of Gujarat's largest social groups; the Chuwadiya Koli are an ancient branch of it. The Sangathan ties this heritage to a modern, organized youth leadership.
Velnath Bapu and the Koli community.
Three pillars, one structure.
Devotion
Every activity begins with the call of Jay Velnath Bapu — through satsang, Raasotsav and live streams that bring the community together.
Community
Mediating between families, attending mass marriages, running unity drives village by village — for the everyday questions of community life, the Sangathan stands beside its people.
Youth
A steady push to bring young people of the Koli community onto political, social and cultural platforms — many members today hold positions of responsibility.
