Starting from the dinner table of the late Dr. Kalyanji Patel, the Gujarati Samaj of Minnesota has grown to one of the largest and most active nonprofit cultural organizations in the Midwest. Since that chilly winter day in 1967, the Samaj has been fortunate to be led by years of talented leadership dedicated to bridging the gap between Gujarat, India and Indians in Minnesota. With the help of scores of volunteers and committed members hungry for the most entertaining and fulfilling cultural events, the Samaj has grown to hundreds of families.
