                                                             THE STORY OF AMRITA DEVI

Chipko movement is a progressive step in the direction of protecting forest. the main aim of this movement is to prevent deforestation. this movement started from Rajasthan jodhpur district in khejarli village, where, along amrita devi, 363 people of bishnoi community had sacrificed their lives for protecting cutting of trees.

 




in 1730 AD , at one time, wood was required for construction of kings palace. so, his soldiers went to khejarli village , holding axes in their hands started cutting the trees. listening the noise of cutting, amrita devi went there along with her three daughters embraced the tree and the kings soldiers cut them along with the tree.

this news spread like wild fire in the surrounding area. people came over there and embraced the trees and sacrificed their lives also. so, to protect the trees, 363 people sacrificed their lives. Today also, Bishnoi community is committed to protect the trees and wildlife . after khejarli, in the year 1973, women of uttarakhand ran the chipko movement. this movement continued for 8 years. in 1981, the government prohibited deforestation in areas above 1000 m in height.


After Khejarli  sacrifice , this movement has been caried out by Sundarlal Bahuguna. Similarly 

the same kind of movement has been run in karnataka in name of "Appiko" it is a kannada language which meaning is "to embrace".

khejarli sacrifice is regarded as ideal for protection of trees till today. people remember this and take inspiration from it.

kejri trees are know as "kalpavriksha" of thar desert area of Rajasthan which is famous for sagwan, the pride of rajasthan. its scientific name is prosopis cineraria.

In 1983, khejri tree was declared as the state tree of Rajasthan.

अभी न होगा मेरा अंत

अभी न होगा मेरा अंत 1-अभी न होगा मेरा अन्त                          अभी-अभी ही तो आया है। मेरे जीवन में मृदुल वसंत अभी न होगा मेरा अन्त। हरे-हरे ये पति। डालियाँ कलियाँ कोमल गात! मैं ही अपना स्वप्न-मृदुल-कर फेसँगा निद्रित कलियों पर जगा एक प्रत्यूष मनोहर। व्याख्या-कवि घोषित कर रहा है कि अभी उसका साहित्य-सृजन थमने वाला नहीं है। अभी तो उसके कवि जीवन का आरम्भ ही हुआ है। जैसे वसंत ऋतु आने पर प्रकृति में उल्लास और उत्साह भरा वातावरण दिखाई देने लगता है, उसी प्रकार उसके जीवन का यह युवाकाल है। वह उत्साह से भरा हुआ है। अभी अंत के बारे में तो सोचना भी व्यर्थ है। कवि के मन और जीवन में हरियाली छाई हुई है। वह हरे-हरे कोमल शरीर वाले वृक्षों और पौधों को देखकर हर्षित हो रहा है। अपनी सपने जैसी कोमल कल्पनाओं द्वारा रचित काव्यरूपी हाथ को फेरकर वह आलस्य में पड़े जीवनों को जगाएगा। जैसे वसंत कलियों को खिलाता है, वह भी अपनी कविताओं से एक मनमोहक सवेरा लाएगा और अपने आस-पास स्थित अलसाये जीवनों में उत्साह जगाएगा। 2-पुष्प-पुष्प से तन्द्रालस लालसा खींच ...

1.  झूठ बोलना, कठोरता, छल करना, बेवकूफी करना, लालच, अपवित्रता  और निर्दयता ये औरतो के कुछ नैसर्गिक दुर्गुण है।                      1. Untruthfulness, rashness, guile, stupidity, avarice, uncleanliness and cruelty are a woman's seven natural flaws. 2. भोजन के योग्य पदार्थ और भोजन करने की क्षमता, सुन्दर स्त्री और उसे भोगने के लिए काम शक्ति, पर्याप्त धनराशी तथा दान देने की भावना - ऐसे संयोगों का होना सामान्य तप का फल नहीं है। 2. To have ability for eating when dishes are ready at hand, to be robust and virile in the company of one's religiously wedded wife, and to have a mind for making charity when one is prosperous are the fruits of no ordinary austerities. ३.  उस व्यक्ति ने धरती पर ही स्वर्ग को पा लिया : १. जिसका पुत्र आज्ञांकारी है, २. जिसकी पत्नी उसकी इच्छा के अनुरूप व्यव्हार करती है, ३. जिसे अपने धन पर संतोष  है। 3. He whose son is obedient to him, whose wife's conduct is in accordanc...
