As many as 61 of the Indian desert camels, which were declared as endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resourse (IUCN), were traded illegally from Rajasthan to Kishanganj in Bihar.

Ms Nitasha Jaini, an artist by profession, Ms Anjali Anand, Operations Manager with an education agency and Ms Neeru Gupta, an education professional, have taken up the legal battle for protecting and securing the lives of the endangered species.

हमारे पूर्वजों को सृष्टि के नियमों का सम्पूर्ण ज्ञान था। वह गाय के महत्त्व और उसके प्रति दुर्व्यवहार और शोषण के परिणामों से भी भली-भांति परिचित थे। वेदों में भी गाय के महत्व का उल्लेख है। अथर्ववेद में कहा गया है : धेनु सदनाम् रईनाम ( 11.1.34) अर्थात गाय सभी प्रकार की समृद्धियों व उपलब्धियों का स्रोत है।’ गाय ही है जो मनुष्य को दूध और उससे बने उत्पाद प्रदान करती है। उसका गोबर ईंधन और खाद तथा उसका मूत्र औषधि और ऊर्वरक प्रदान करता है। जब बैल भूमि की जुताई करते हैं तो भूमि दीमक मुक्त हो जाती है। जब हम यज्ञ द्वारा दैविक शक्तियों से संपर्क करते हैं तो गाय का घी और उपला ही उपयोग में लाया जाता है। कहा जाता है कि जब गाय ने संत कबीर के ललाट को अपनी जिव्हा से स्पर्श किया था तो उनके भीतर असाधारण काव्य क्षमताएं जागृत हो गई थी। गाय, समृद्धि और बहुतायत का प्रतीक है, वह सारी सृष्टि के लिए पोषण का स्रोत है, वह जननी है, मां है। गाय का दूध एक पूर्ण आहार है। जिसका अर्थ है उसके दूध में सम्पूर्ण पोषण है। उसके दूध में केवल उत्तम कोलेस्ट्रॉल है और इस बात से भी कोई अनजान नहीं कि गाय अपने प्रश्वास में ऑक्स...

More than 20 dogs were killed in Kochi, Parakkadavu Panchayath on 12 October 2016 under Jose Maveli and his hired killer Ranjan. It wasn’t a festival yet it was organized for them by the Panchayath president Sebastian Vazhakkala. The children were made to witness the killings which was the most heinous part of the crime. Even the dogs with puppies were not spared. In One of the pictures below one of the dogs a friendly mother dog was held by Ranjan. One can see fear of death in her eyes as she knew that she was about to be killed. Such is the hopeless state of affairs in Kerala. The children who watched the soul stirring scene would have left it’s imprints of their psyche for the rest of their lives. The empathy for animals and the tenderness in their nature would surely be crushed by the heart rendering scenario. But we always forget that what we sow, shall we reap. Yogi Ashwini says that the law of Karma is applicable across the globe. None of us can escape it. If we a...

Recently, a video went viral on social media showing a man from south India brutally beating a dog. The poor creature tried to escape, but the man was determined to batter him to death. This sort of cruelty makes you wonder whom the label of ‘animal’ is more suited to. But also sad that, under the circumstances, is how other people are mute witnesses to such behaviour. Not opposing such cruelty is as shameful as doing the act, says internationally renowned Yogi Ashwini, the founder of the Dhyan Foundation. The internationally renowned Vedic scholar and yoga guru points out that karma “will play out sooner or later and the impact is always manifold”. Enthusiastic young volunteers of the Dhyan Foundation Animal Brigade work to save innocent animals, who are likely to come under attack. Anyone can do the same by sending a tweet to spread social awareness or by mailing concerned authorities. Also, visit  www.dhyanfoundation.com  for details about the initiatives of the an...

Close to 40 stray dogs were poisoned to death in Ranipet, Tamil Nadu. The dogs were reportedly administered a lethal injection in a township managed by a public sector company. The police launched an investigation following a complaint filed by an animal activist and a veterinary doctor for the mass canine murder. A case has been registered under the provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. While the culprit is still at large, the complainant has claimed that an official of a public sector company near Ranipet engaged their sanitary workers for the mass killing of stray dogs on the premises of the township. The dogs were poisoned and their bodies were allegedly disposed off at the riverbed near Trivalam Bridge. While police still searches for the spot where the murdered animals were buried, the carcasses of the dogs are expected to be exhumed by officials for post-mortem. Killing stray dogs is a punishable offence as per Section 428 and 429 of the main crimin...
