About Shri R. P. Patel

My Journey: From Roots to Responsibility

I come from a humble farming family in a small village, where I spent my early years working alongside my parents in the fields. Despite our tireless hard work, I witnessed first-hand the harsh reality of financial struggles. Yet, amid all the challenges, my parents made a powerful decision—to prioritize my education and help me graduate, sowing the seeds of transformation in my life.

From a very young age, I have believed deeply in the power of leadership, hard work, selfless service, and above all divine blessings. These values shaped my journey as I cracked the banking examination after graduation and began my career with Dena Bank. Over the next two decades, I served with sincerity and commitment—not only in banking operations but as a voice for employees' rights and welfare.

But something deeper kept calling me—a fire for social service that had been burning within me since childhood. Though I was earning well in banking, I realized that true societal impact requires economic freedom. With courage and conviction, I made a bold decision—to leave a secure, well-paying job and step into the unknown once again.

I restarted from scratch, built a new business with relentless effort, endured setbacks, and faced countless struggles. But with determination and faith, I reached the level of success I had once only visualized. During this phase, I entered the real estate sector and took on leadership roles, including Chairman of CREDAI Gujarat. My passion for youth empowerment led me to lead the  IAS training centre which letter known as Umiya Career Development Council (UCDC), where I had the honor of mentoring over 8,400 students, with 3456 of them successfully clearing competitive examinations. These achievements brought fulfillment, but the inner calling to serve society on a deeper level remained strong. And then, at the peak of that success, I made a life-altering decision—to leave everything behind and dedicate my life entirely to serving society.

In 2017 This commitment gave birth to the Vishv Umiya Foundation (VUF)—a mission to awaken  spiritual consciousness  to national consciousness, and to serve all the community across the globe which I believe is the ultimate purpose of my life. Today, I proudly serve as the full-time Principal Sevak at Vishv Umiya Foundation, Jaspur. My path is clear—I have no desire for political positions or titles. I will take my last breath as nothing but a sevak of jagat janani Maa Umiya.

Under the VUF , we are building Vishv Umiyadham—a magnificent centre of divinity, unity, and energy in Ahmedabad, spread across 240,000 sq. meters. This ₹2,000 crore project, supported by the generous contributions of the community, will be home to the world’s tallest 504-foot temple of Jagat Janani Maa Umiya. But beyond the temple, it will be a beacon of education, healthcare, employment, sports, culture, spirituality, and youth and women empowerment.

With a global footprint spanning India, USA, Canada, and soon UK and Africa, the Vishv Umiya Foundation is working tirelessly to uplift communities through initiatives in education, health, and economic development—building a stronger, more united society.

My mission remains crystal clear: To serve selflessly, uplift tirelessly, and create opportunities that empower future generations.
