Amongst all the saints of the 15th century, Guru Jambheshwar Ji was unique in preaching about the conservation of the biodiversity to his followers. He made it a creed for them by including the same in his 29 commandments. Thus Guru Jambheshwar Jiwas not only a religious guru but a great ecologist and environmentalist, many centuries ahead of the scientists. He was born in 1451 A.D. (Samvat 1508) corresponding to 8th day of dark half of the Lunar month Bhadrapad on Janamashtami, in a village Pipasar situated in the revenue jurisdiction of Nagaur, district of Rajasthan, India. He adopted the life of an ascetic teacher in 1484 A.D and started living on the Samrathal Dhora, sand hill of Mukam village situated in Nokha tehsil of Bikaner district of Rajasthan. He enshrined in his followers compassion towards nature and protection of life as the supreme religious goal. He founded the Bishnoi sect in 1485 A.D corresponding to the eighth day of the black fortnight of the month of Kartika of the year 1542 of the Vikrami Era at Samrathal Dhora and prescribed 29 commandments dealing with various aspects of life. He spent the remaining 51 years of his life in spreading his great vision. He expounded his religious philosophy and the essence of these principles in the form of verses. These spiritual verses have a vigour of their own, vibrant, passionate and sincere. These are distinguished by their vivid, conversational style and moral exhortation. Among the 29 commandments laid down by Guru Jambheshwar Ji, eight commandments have been prescribed to preserve biodiversity, and encourse good animal husbandry. Seven commandments provide directions for healthy social behavior. Ten Commandments are directed towards personal hygiene and maintaining good basic health. Four commandments provide guidelines for worshipping God daily and always remember that God is omnipresent. Guru Jambheshwar Ji has been occupying a unique place in the Bhakti movement. Though mainly his area of activity had been the desert land of Thar yet he had been touring other places too. Due to these extensive tours he has been spreading the message: “Jeeya Nai Jugati or Mhan (Moova) nai mugati”. (To live is a device and to die is salvation) within and outside the country. 2 Prof. Tankeshwar Kumar Vice-Chancellor FOREWORD Carrying forward the agenda of inclusive education let me take this opportunity to introduce you the Prospectus of Distance Education for the session 2018-19 which includes admission related information of various academic programmes offered through Distance Education Mode in this reputed university which has the distinction of being awarded ‘A’ grade by the National Accreditation and Assessment Council (NAAC) consecutively for three times coupled with significant ranking in MHRD led NIRF twice and one of the top ranked Technical Universities of India according to a survey by India Today group.
