Sadruddin started the concept of "Khanahs" Pirana Satpanthis also have such "Khanahs", which of-late have been renamed to "Nishkalanki Mandir"

Ali is presented as Lord Vishnu's avatar

Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh are corrupted. Isn't this "Blasphemy". The last of Imams, i.e., Imam Mahdi is Nishkalanki

"Shaktipanth" is renamed to "Satpanth". See page 48. Imam Shah's Father is Kabiruddin and his Grand Father is Sadruddin

Imam Shah founded a new sect with was a Ismaili sect.

Khojahs read Das Avatar (this Das Avatar is not Hindu Das Avatar) See how "Samarchhanta" ("Paval" of Pirana Satpanth) is made

Khojahs and hence Pirana Satpanthis, are Shiah Ismailis

Religious books were changed

Imam Mahdi (avatar of Ali) is Nishkalanki Narayan Nur-Satgur presented himself as Brahma See how Bhakt Prahlad & others story is corrupted Ghat-Pat ritual is followed

"Shaktipanth" is renamed to "Satpanth", by Pir Sadruddin

See Below

Matia Kanbis are people from Kanbi community who follow Satpanth "Mat". In English "Mat" means "Opinion" and in case "belief"

Leva Kanbi caste was the first group to largely embrace Pirana Satpanth, the religion professed by Imam Shah and his son, Nur Muhammad Shah

*D]HWWHHU RI %RPED\ 3UHVLGHQF\ 9RO ,; 3DUW ,, <HDU 6HULHV People near Faizpur (which is in Khandesh) who follow Imam Shah are largely Leva Patidar

Imam Shah converted Hindus to Muslims The followers of Pirana Satpanth are looked upon as source of revenue

Momnas (followers of Imam Shah, see ahead) remain in their Hindu castes, without changing their Muslim religion.

"Outward" appearance is of like Hindus. They follow Hindu customs, but at the same time bury their dead. This is an example of use of TAQIYYA
