Though I am born and brought up in Mumbai, my father hails from the family of my great grandfather Shri Surajmalji Sultania. I have been visiting my native almost every year on the occasion of Janamastmi to visit Bharonda at Baba Puroshattamdasji temple. It indeed is a great place with a history of the rise of some very renowned business tycoons like the Birlas, Seksarias and the Dalmias.
And also important to mention the names of the great Navratnas namely:
1. Shri Snehiram Maharaj – Great Astrologer.
2. Ramji Lalji Shastri – Great Sanskrit pandit.
3. Shri Suryamal Shivprasad – The great millionair who funded the construction of Laxman Jhoola and many dharamshalas at various piligrimage places in northen India.
4. Vaidyaji Shri Jagannath Prasad – Master of ayurveda.
5. Seth Shri Doolichand Kakrania – The multi millionaire with an attitude who served tea to Queen Victoria made on a stove lighted with currency.
6. Shri Nanulal Rana – Was master of Rajasthani games.
7. Mokram Khati – Known for his ability to make witty jokes.
8. Shri Siru Sunda – The man with great physique and a body builder.
9. Shri Ganeshnarayanji (Bawalya Baba) – The great Saint who recognised the true potential of the Birlas and forecasted that the 7 generations of Birlas shall be business tycoons.
