Samvedis came as expert singers to Shurparak (Vasai) during the Buddha era 1500 BC from the remote areas of Odisha, then called as Utkala/Kalinga.

At the advent of Adi Shankaracharya in Nirmal around 497 BC, the Buddhist Monks were defeated in the debates and Samvedis returned to their original Hindu fold and started strict following of the Vedic Dharma.

Due to old age and at the earnest prayers of the local Samvedis and Bhandaris, Swami Vidyaranya took Mahasamadhi at the Nirmal Vimaleshwar Mandir in 404 BC on the dark 11th day of Kartik.

Emperor Jalauka (son of Ashoka) built a big Samadhi Mandir according to the Odisha architecture.

During the times of Raja Bhimdev of Kalinga in order to solve the religious differences in between the Kshatriyas, the 106th Shankaracharya Swami Sukhabodha Tirtha arrived in Vasai during the 13th century AD.

The temple of Padmanabha Swami which was located at the hillock place now called Nirmal Naka was destroyed.

The traditional profession of Samvedis was to present Music, Dance, and Dramas at the Royal Palaces and in the Hindu temples as a part of the social awareness of religion.

Later during the period of Raja Pratap Bimba the profession shifted to that of cultivating sugarcane and nagavel leaves.

Later during the 18th century after the opening of the Mumbai (Bombay) as the chief city, the profession switched over to the gardening of flowers and wadis.

Presently many Samvedis are engaged in the professions like Politics, Medicine, School Administration, Construction, Business and Management.

Samvedi Brahmins of Vasai live in following villages around the Nirmal Sarovar earlier called Shurparak.
