Preface
TWO WORDS
After 3 decades Bhai Pradeep ( Birth Name Puran ) has taken the initiative of updating the Vanshavali of our Grand Father Late FATEHCHANDJI under the Banyan Tree of “BALIALIWALA” Parivar.
My younger Brother Pradeep has worked tremendously hard assisted by his elder Son Yogesh in collecting datas from the present generation of our Baba Fatehchandji. Of course it was not an easy task to collect datas and synchronize them in the format which can be easily accessible by any member who is under the Banyan Tree of “Balialiwala” Parivar from anywhere in the world.
This would not have been possible without the blessings of our ancestors and the motivation in heart given by our “KUL DEVTA” Baba Gangaramji.

FROM THE AUTHOR'S PEN
Baliyaliwala Parivar’s Vansavali was prepared by my uncle Sri Basudevji in the Year 1994 by great efforts and devoting lot of time. So many years have passed in the meantime and new Generations have born. I was thinking to update it for few years but implementation was not forthcoming. Probably it needed inspiration which I got last year in the marriage of Bhai Jagan’s son Ch. Harsh when Shahji Prabhu Dayalji (Father-in-law of Beti Poorvi) asked to update the Vansavali.
I had no knowledge or experience of preparing website. I thought that I am not capable to do such herculean task but I had full faith on my ईस्ट (Bhagwan Ram) and ashirvad of my ancestors and took up the challenge and could complete it with their grace. I am sure that I might have committed mistakes but I am sure my family members with great hearts will overlook them.
I am compiling data for around one year but still I could not complete it in spite of my best efforts; so I finally thought it prudent to release it whatever I could gather.
This is not my sole effort, many members have contributed in various ways by collecting data, photographs, writing Pirojan rituals etc. Some members provided data promptly and completely, boosting energy.
I got immense assistance from Yogesh (son) and Samir Mohanty (staff) in preparing this Vansavali. Samir displayed exceptional dedication in collecting and efficiently entering data, even though he had no prior knowledge of our family members.
Compiling information on all the temples from various online sources, aligning it with the appropriate stutees and music, and presenting it through videography was indeed a challenging endeavour. Yogesh has carried out this task with remarkable dedication. In fact, he has invested far more time and effort than I have in developing this website.
I sincerely apologize for any mistakes or inconveniences caused. If you notice any errors, please do not hesitate to inform me so that I can make the necessary corrections.
Your suggestions for improvement are most welcome. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
Kindly share your comments / feedback about this website.
Yours Sincerely,
