BISHNOI A COMMUNITY

                      The Vishnois, a community in Rajasthan,Hariyan,punjab,U.P and M.P. is an  example of human beings living in harmony with nature. The name “Vishnoi” (“Twenty-nine”) represents the number of principles espoused by their prophet, Lord Jhambheshwar. It is said that Lord Jhambheshwar attained saintly enlightenment while meditating beneath a tree in a place that would later become the village of Jhamba. There, where he discovered a water source that rescued his people from a 20-year drought, he established his ideal community, a society of people living in harmony with each other and with their environment.                               

                         Among the 29 principles propounded by the founder of the sect prophet, Lord Jhambheshwar, three concern nature conservation. Cutting and lopping of green trees is strictly prohibited. They maintain groves, locally known as orans, for the animals to graze and birds to feed. Orans serve as important recharges of rain water in the aquifers in the desert, where every single drop of water is precious.
