History 

Founded by Guru Jambheshwar (1451-1536) who is also known as Jambhaji, the Bishnoi sect is a religious and cultural destination. The term Vishnoi is used by some writers that mean the ones who follow Vishnu. But some sect members consider themselves as Bishnoi. Guru Jambheshwar did mention about Vishnu but did not refer to Bishnoi himself. Supporters and followers also call themselves as Prahladapanthi as they are devoted to a Hindu divine, Prahlada.

Guru Jambheshwar stated a set of 29 principles. The Shabadwani, which was written in the Nagri script, consists of 120 shabads and 29 principles. Ten out of his 29 principles are in the direction of personal hygiene and maintaining good essential health, 7 out of 29 are for healthy social behaviour, and 4 of them are for worshiping of God. The last eight are prescribed for bio-diversity. Most of the followers of the Bishnoi are not aware of the concept of global warming and animal husbandry. It includes a ban on animal killings and cutting trees while protecting all living beings in the ecosystem.  The community needs to be sure that the firewood used shouldn’t have any small insects. There is a prohibition on wearing blue coloured clothes as the dye used for colouring is produced by cutting off a considerable amount of shrubs.  

Guru Jambheshwar established the Bishnoi Village sect. He was born in 1451. The constant battles between the local Hindus and Muslim invaders led to tragedies. This resulted in the foundation of the Bishnoi sect. Guru Jambheshwar laid 29 rules and regulations as well as principles for his followers. The chief principle of the Bishnoi sect was the conservation of animals and trees and ultimately put an end to harming the environment. On his passing, he declared that black buck is his sign and consequently the species that must be conserved at any cost.
