The influence of other religions on Jambhoji's teachings is clearly visible. They have inherited the principles of non-violence and mercy from Jainism and sacrificing Muslims from Islam, taking time to get married during marriage. Vaishnavism and non-rituals too have a major influence on their teachings. In this community, the guru initiation and doli pahal etc. are performed by the saints, some of them also participate. They are the officials of Mahant, place of specialty, but people of the class named Thapananam edit their names, naming ceremony, marriage and endlessness. Vocals are different for the purpose of writing warnings and playing songs on occasion of celebrations. In this community, 'Navam pranam' is used for greeting, and 'Vishnu nai janbhauji nai' is said in the reverse of mutual greeting. Costumes

Vishnoi women wear red and black wool clothes. They wear only a bang of a lamb. They neither have body fat nor offer gold on teeth. Unbelievers do not like to wear blue clothes. Believe it. Sage cows wear ebony black beads of acute jawbone cap and flat beads. Mahant often dhoti, shirt and saffron saffron on the head. The practice of carving the dead body was popular in the world. Vishnoi Samarthya believes in idol worship. Hence there is no idol in Jambhoji's temple and companionship. At some places the members of this community worship the objects of jambhoji. As in Peepasar, the Khambhau pair of jambhoji, hat in the front, the elite almighty in Janglu, and foot marks in Chola and Aurora are worshiped. There is daily havan - Bhajan and Vishnu praise and worship, evening karma and Jambha Jagaran are also completed. People of this community do not believe in caste. Hence, people of both Hindus and Muslims accept them. With the objective of Sri Jambhar Sadh, it is confirmed that people of all races have been recognized in this community. For example, people of Brahmin, Kshatriyya, Vaishya, Shudra, Teli, Dhobi, Khati, Barber, Dumru, Bhat, Chhipa, Muslim, Jat and Sai etc. took holy water (pahal) and adopted it in this community. In Rajasthan, Jodhpur and Bikaner have a large number of temples and companionships of this community. The main temple of this sect has remained at a place named Mukam (Talva). Here every year a new fair is held in Phalgun's new moon, in which thousands of people participate. Other pilgrimage sites of this community are especially noteworthy in the Jambhola, Piyasar, Sambhatathal, Janglu, Lohawar, Lalasar etc. These are considered as similar to the Tirthaaj of Jambhalav Vishnoi and the rest of Mathura and Dwarka. Apart from this, small shrines of this community have also remained at places like Raisingh Nagar, Padampur, Chak, Pilibanga, Sangaria, Tandurwali, Sriganganagar, Radmalsar, Lakhsar, Kolayat (Bikaner), Lamba, Tilvasani, Alai (Nagaur) and Pushkar. . This community is also spread out of Rajasthan. Temples built in states like Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh confirm this. Jambhoji's teachings had great impact on the world leaders. That is why people of this community neither eat meat nor drink alcohol. In addition, they do not allow deer or any other animal in their village boundary. Members of this community do not allow animal killing at any cost. A license from the state of Bikaner reveals that the Mahanta of Talva had taken away the ram from a person named Dina due to the fear of animal killing. There was a Panchayat in every Vishnoi village to prevent the person from acting against the rules. The person who acted against the rule had declared it to be removed from the panchayat religion or caste. For example, in 2001, a person named Babu had killed a chicken in Rudakali village, on this, the panchayat had thrown him out of the caste. In addition to the rural panchayats, there was a panchayat of Vishnoiads on a large scale, which used to sit at the big gathering held at Jambhola and Mukesh. It emphasized the compliance of the rules made by this community. The decisions taken on the occasion of various fairs show that following the decisions and arrangements of this Panchayat was compulsory for everyone and the person who violated it was excluded from the Vishnoi Samaj. In Vishnoi village, no person could cut the green cast of Khheda or Shami tree. The women of this sect who had cut khajdah and green trees had voluntarily self-reliant. This confirmation comes from jambogi literature. The rulers of Rajasthan have always considered the religious beliefs, while recognizing this community. This is the reason that many orders have been given from the Jodhpur and Bikaner states from time to time to the village collectors, in which they have been instructed to not bribe and do not fall prey to Vishnoi villages. In Bikaner in 1907, the goat was ordered to go through any Vishnoi village with goats and goats. The rulers of Bikaner state have been given land from Vishnoi Temples from time to time. Such proofs have been received that Sujan Singh gave 1,000 Birghas to the Mukham Temple to 3000 Bigha and Jangloo Temple. Bikaner issued an order in 1877 and 1887, according to which he had instructed the officers not to take anything without any crime. Thus, the ruler of Jodhpur state had also given several concessions regarding the land and rent to the worldmen. Maharana Bhim Singh ji and Jawan Singh ji of Udaipur also gave permits for keeping the limits and taxation as per the old tradition of Jodhpur.

= Rajasthan's state animal chinkara is on the one hand, due to its beauty, the interest of the ladies and the targets of the smugglers, and on the other hand it is also facing the government's helplessness. Recently, cases of hunting have surfaced in Barmer and Bikaner districts. The problem of these inefficient animals is that the film stars facing the brutality of the country's defense soldiers on the border. In this atmosphere of disappointment for these wildlife, the Bishnoi caste of the Maru region has always kept the ray of hope alive. These people have not missed out on giving their lives for the protection of these wildlife for hundreds of years. However, the recent brutal event of hunting of chinkara came to an end in November last month in Shiv Tahsil of Barmer district.

During the Army's maneuvering operations on the border, the team of Rajasthan Forest Department from Army's 88 Armored Workshop Mess in Neemilia Sajitada Military Area on 25th November recovered 15 kg of meat including three cut heads of Chinkara and some legs. Forest Department filed a lawsuit against five Army personnel under the Wildlife Protection Act. Army has also issued the order of the Court of Inquiry in this case. At the same time, in the Bikaner area, in the Mahajan Firing Range of the Army, the alleged case of Chinkara's victim appeared, though the army has denied the victims of any such wildlife here. He said that the meat recovered from here was of rooster. The matter is under investigation now.

This is not the first time in the black deerajasthan, which is confined to the Black Deer Protected Area, which is confined to the protected area, that when the victim of chinkara has come to headlines. Even in 1998, actor Salman Khan had hunted chinkara during a film shooting in Jodhpur. In the case, he has also been sentenced to a five-year sentence from the lower court. Salman was charged that during the shooting of "we are together" in September 1998 he had hunted black deer and chinkara. The lower court, on the night of September 26, is considered as a black deer in Kakani village and on the night of September 28, Bhatad village is accused of hunting two chinkara victims in the horse farm. In this case, charges have also been decided on Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre and Tabu.

Actually, Chinkara is not only a state animal in Rajasthan, but it is a wildlife of schedule 1, like the Tiger under the Wildlife Protection Act, and there is a provision of seven years jail for hunting it. Still, there is a sharp decline in their numbers. In the year 2009 there were 37,758 chinkars in the state, which was reduced to 34,970 in 2010. In western Rajasthan, their number is also decreasing. In the Thar Desert, there were 3,076 chinkars in 2009, which declined to 2,743 in the next year. Clearly, chinkara is being hunted extensively. Rajpal Singh, a member of the Rajasthan Wildlife and Environment Committee, says that local residents living in Thar desert have been complaining about the hunting of Chinkara but the administration is not taking the issue seriously. The point of concern is that the name of the army has also emerged in this illegal act.

The people of Chinkaraadosari, fearless people living near a Chinkaraisheshwar community, especially the Bishnois of western Rajasthan, behave like a family member with chinkara and fearlessness towards them, fearing a person of the Chinkaraishshnai community, who fearlessly possessed a person from Bishnoi community. Are there. In the villages of Bishnoi, children of Deer and Chinkara family are treated like this. Even the devotion to the wildlife of the Bishnois and the environment is unique. In the Chinkara prey also, the role of Bishnoi society has been important in bringing Salman Khan behind the bars. For the protection of the environment, this species of die has set such an example that is recorded in golden letters on the pages of history. In 1730, in Khazdali village near Jodhpur, the 363 women and men of Bishnoi society, who guarded the trees of the King, had cut trees with trees. In this incident, 363 Bishnois of 83 villages, under the leadership of a woman Amrita Devi, clashed with her to save the trees. Among them were children, old men, young women and women. Protecting the environment and wildlife for the Bishnois is their life principle.

It is one of the 29 life-principles laid down by Jupeshwar, the master of Bishnoi. This society resides in Rajasthan primarily in the western area of ​​Marwar. Due to the deserted areas of Marwar, there is a shortage of forests and wildlife in the same way, encroachment of government land, especially in transit land, has worried and worried about the protection of wildlife during the last few years. The government has declared Chinkara as a state animal but she is not seen to make any special effort to protect her. Even the rural government does not show its seriousness when it sees its victim and complains against its eyes.

The women of Bishnoi community worshiped the tree bound by the love of the environment. The women worshiped trees of Bishnoi community bound for love. The villagers living in Tharah, especially the Bishnoi caste in Thar, have not forgotten the rural resolution against the protection of trees and wildlife. is. These people still do not lose their lives to protect them even today. About a decade ago, a Bishnoi youth struggled to fight the poachers while trying to protect the Nihalchand wildlife. Later, the film 'Villing to Sacrifice' was also made on this incident. The film was also rewarded in the Film Festival of the Slovak Republic. If there is support from the Government of Bishnoi community in protecting the wildlife at its level, then there is no single wildlife hunter in the area. "

Rural living in the Thar, especially Bishnoi caste, has not forgotten the rural resolution towards the protection of trees and wildlife. These people still do not lose their lives to protect them even today. Although this has to be said, but nothing like that has happened anymore. About a decade ago, a Bishnoi youth struggled to fight the poachers while trying to protect the Nihalchand wildlife. Later, the film 'Villing to Sacrifice' was also made on this incident. The film was also rewarded in the Film Festival of Slovak Republic.

In Rajasthan, a saying is prevalent - 'Even if you have a stupendous look, even if you can get it, that means, if you can protect the trees even by cutting the head, then consider it as a deal of profit. It is a vivid example of the sacrifice of hundreds of Vishnoi caste people for the protection of the Khayjidi trees on Tuesday, 17th of 17th century (1730), in Bhadva Soodi Dasami, in Khejdali village of Jodhpur. In this 'Chipko movement' women were in turmoil. In the end, the Ordinary Housewives had arranged the 'Chipko Abhiyan' for the protection of forests, induced by Sunderlal Bahuguna in Uttaranchal. Today, in a planned manner, the campaign to demolish forests is being run on behalf of the governments, in such a situation, social commitment like 'Chipko campaign' is needed to save the forests.

The saga of sacrificing sacrifice is exciting and inspiring. It was decided to harvest the trees of Khajadi for the supply of timber for the construction of Jodhpur Fort. On this, the people of Khahedali village decided to protect the forest at the cost of their lives. Chaurasi villages were informed about this decision. In hundreds of people, people gathered in Khahedali village and stuck with them to stop the trees from biting. But the government did not care about it and when the people of the people sticking to them were brutally cutting trees, they began to collapse and fall apart. On the cutting of one person, the other person will be stuck with the same tree immediately. In this sacrifice Amritadevi and his two daughters lived in Haraval. The first person was sacrificed by Andodozy and later, Manoj and Dami, and other women like Vito Banial, Chawoji, Udogi, Kanhoji, Kisanogi, Dayaram etc. gave their lives. In total, three hundred and three women and men gave their life. When the information of this incident was received by the Maharaja of Jodhpur, he ordered the harvesting of trees and cutting trees in the future. Every year, in memory of these heroes of Khahedali, a festival is celebrated every year in Bhadava Sudi Dashami, in which thousands of people are gathered.

Describing this incident, poet Gokuji has written in Khazali's Sakhi- "Odo Saro Samajhi Ayo, Head handed Runkha Sattai / Head Sampa Ara Kanpa, Do not be afraid to die." To voluntarily give life to the protection of the forest There are many such incidents that are known by 'Khadali Khatana'. Even before the extraordinary sacrifices of Khahedali, many women and men of the desert desert of Rajasthan had voluntarily sacrificed their lives to protect the forests. These men and women who were buried in the pages of history were followers of Jambhoji. Jambhoji initiated Vishnoi Dharma in the Kartik Vedi Ashtami of Sarkut 1542 and taught his followers in 'Sabd Vani' that the forests should be protected. The devotee of Jambhoji, Udodi Nain, wrote for emphasizing the protection of trees in the twenty-eight rules for the followers of Vishnoi religion: "Kare Rouk Pratipal Khaheda Rakhat Dilvai." Poet Valhoji wrote 'Asiara Darus Devi Mahi,' Tree Wahwa ' Do not say that the cutting of trees is forbidden. The followers of Jambhoji planted trees in the oranges around their villages and protected them. To save forests and wildlife in the Vishnoi society, the emotions of sacrifice or sacrifice are still alive today.

Such collective voluntary rituals of self-realization are unique and unique throughout the world to protect trees in Khazali. Inspired by the glorious legacy of this sacrifice, every Rajasthani should be determined to conserve and promote forests. Scheduled Tribes (forest dwellers) have also been born from water, forest, land. That's why society should be made 'treasurer' of forest wealth. Conducting two lakh twenty five thousand panchayats in India as the conductor of forest protection culture. The 'Memory One' will be established at every Panchayat headquarters. Plantation program should be run in the premises of every educational institution, government office. Every city became a green city. Wherever the units of industrial units, mineral exploration and road extension are established by cutting trees, there is permission to start production only after four-fold trees were planted. The desert can not be green with paperwork only. Environmentalist Radhamam Bishnoi, who had rejected the proposal of former Prime Minister IndraGandhi to come to politics. For which gold is also a stone, you are strange and surprised to hear this but it is the truth, except for the riches, Shanti-Shoharat, there is only one passion, the service of trees and wildlife, which does not believe in God also Sometimes, in the life of a temple, Prasad did not stop till he did not join hands with Goddess Deities. Those who do not believe in luck, I just consider Guru Jangshwar (the founder of the Bishnoi community) as their mentor. They went on their education. In the desert, the sand mounds, where there is no stone, also have millions of trees planted there. I just need them to live in their selfless condition. To be honored for the work done by the spirit, to bring their work to the national level so that others can get inspiration. I One can give Radhaamamam the fruits of whole life and Bharat Ratna can also be given.

This objective can be fulfilled only by the cooperation of voluntary social institutions, the development of a sense of responsibility in the common people and the right implementation of government schemes as well. Plantation, protection and promotion of mass people can be made, only then the green extension of forest extension can spread in the deserts of Rajasthan. The intense forest invites the clouds and inspires rain. If there is no forest, there is no rain, otherwise there is no swollen earth.
