If we look back a little, we will realize that only the world has become a wanderer. It is also a basic human instinct. It is through this that the whole world has been discovered, and the world has come together and a rainbow web of world society has been woven. These various colors are the gift of many cultures around the world. Born out of this, the Gypsies, Nomads, Zorbans, who walk on the earth like my father and the sky as their father, adopt the same form wherever they met the environment.
From that, their culture and philosophy took shape. With no exception, they never had to fight anyone in history out of enmity. Or they did not confine themselves to any particular framework. Hence, their 'colorful' culture was born. Otherwise, one would have ended his existence by getting stuck in colors like black, white, blue, saffron, green and red.
As a matter of fact, people today have much more to live in reality than heaven in imagination, when there is so much happiness, race and religion are fighting for supremacy and supremacy. In this background, the Laman Banjaris who sang the songs of public welfare for the existence of man cannot be remembered.
They can be identified from the tribal (tribal) Banjares of Pakistan, Afghanistan, known as Laman, Lamani, Banjara, Gor, Gormati, Lambada, Charan Vanjara, Sugali, Sarthwah, Gwaricha, Gwar, Bajigar etc. to the Roma Gypsies spread all over the world. In this entire process, from the earliest times, the Laman-Banjaras have not bound themselves to any religion, nor can they be so bound. Humanity is their caste and this is their religion. What a strange thing this is. Australia's anthropologist and aboriginal researcher Von Füter Hemindraff says about this group of people, 'The Banjars have not confined themselves to any specific territory compared to other tribal tribes.
They considered the land where they went to be their original place.' Perhaps it is because of this that the culture of the Laman Banjars was able to form a pantheistic culture. He became a Muslim Banjara in a Muslim nation, a Hindu tribal in a Hindu nation, a Christian gypsy in a Western nation, the spread of Buddhist thought in the time of Buddha, and his thought in the time of Nanak. From this too, he cultivated his primitive natural ideology and created his philosophy of life by considering human thoughts as truth. Traces of it can still be found in the thought tradition of these people. E.g. 'He who has taken refuge does not want to die.' One can say 'muyen mati jivaten bati', 'jaat khot reet mot', etc.
Perhaps these people have learned from their wanderings around the world that religion is a means to an ideal life, not an end in itself. It is a cultural concept designed to lead an idealized and blissful life. The ultimate goal is to preserve the existence of human life. The Banjaras have been singing since ancient times. 'Dharti topar ambar rakad jivanon', of course, they have been telling a story to keep the existence of life on earth intact, to save the human race. 'Choko Puradam Jag Motiaro, Kuletaran' means, Let the wheel keep turning to save the human race.
This world is like a pearl. (Clans come, clans go, clans become the world) Clans come, clans go, this is the world. To save them (Nandinalari, Zade Paderi, Sati Matari, Chanda Suryari, Dharti. Matari, Hube Gavaniyari, Seva Naikeri) they sang the aarti of rivers and streams, trees and mountains, sapta matrika, moon and sun, earth mother, folk singers, folk heroes. From this was born, 'Senan Sai Ves', a song of compassion and goodwill, which calls for the welfare of all.
'Ardas' is also called during most of the rituals, pujas, festivals of Banjaras. Without making any distinction between men and women, boys and girls, everyone sings the prayer together, believing that all are equal. Water, land, forest and fire are worshiped at this time. Another thing that needs to be mentioned here is the process of accommodating others (jangad bheler vata). Today we see, people are thrown out of caste. But many examples can be given of Banjars accepting other castes by giving away their daughters. Women in this matriarchal tradition are also seen to maintain the truth. Many mauktis are heard singing the importance of truth as 'Sat mat chho satiya patiya pat jaye, sateri bandhi lacmi fer dharen ayin'.
Saint Sewalal, a wise man, who was educated through the legacy of this thought, said, 'Know yourself by yourself. No one is bigger than anyone, no one is smaller. Do not do false things and believe in your own strength and abilities.' Denotes that. Which has been percolating from time immemorial through Tathagata Buddha's 'Bhavtu Sabba Mangalam', 'Sarve Bhavantu Sukhin: Sarve Santu Niramaya:' or Saint Dnyaneshwar's 'Pasaidan' etc.
Finally, it can only be said that, in our eyes, even tribal tribes like Banjaras are uneducated, barbaric, but they were never ignorant or uncivilized. He had created his ideal way of life. They were and are very sensitive towards nature and humans. They were not determined to scratch like us. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this primitive accumulation is still useful to a misguided world.
"Hey Mother,
Green-eyed mother,
Who has been present since birth until death,
I keep awake in your memory,
I plow the fields with your name,
Acceptance of that,
And ensure everyone's well-being…
May your grace always remain,
Bind the wandering thoughts to purpose,
Let every moment be auspicious,
Decorate the earth with grains,
Fill her lap,
Let the deeds bear fruit,
Bring prosperity to every home,
Exchange greetings with the good,
And ensure everyone's well-being…
Blind darkness fills our hearts,
We stumble on every step,
Simplify our tangled thoughts,
Weapons of destruction reign,
The world is filled with sorrow,
Let happiness come to everyone's doorstep,
Whatever we are, is because of you,
Whatever we have, belongs to you,
Take away mistakes and regrets,
Remove all obstacles,
We march thousands of miles aimlessly,
Don't let it become futile,
And ensure everyone's well-being…
Wherever we remember, let it be your presence,
Revive strength and courage in the fallen,
Start the daily routine smoothly,
Ignite the fire within us,
Even if everything ends, keep the new dreams alive,
The four watches of the night belong to you,
The four watches of the day belong to you,
Let gardens bloom with flowers and fruits,
Let the cattle graze peacefully,
Ensure the well-being of both bipeds and quadrupeds,
Keep hope alive there,
And ensure everyone's well-being…
Ensure the well-being of both rich and poor,
Ensure the well-being of all homes,
Preserve the existence of even inanimate objects,
Ensure the well-being of living beings,
Ensure the well-being of flower children,
Let everyone's dreams come true,
Go ahead, towards that goal,
And ensure everyone's well-being…
Poet - Lamana Ardāsa"
