In English they say "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." But in Bollywood we say.....

Rag rag woh samaya mere... Dil par woh chhaya mere.... 🩺🫀

Mujhme vo aise jaise jaan.... Gire barsaat me paani jaise.... ☔✨

Koi kahaani jaise dil se ho dil tak jo bayaan... Aashiq dil tera puraana hai ye 👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻👴🏻

Deewana Deewana samjhe na ho 😮‍💨

Kabhi chup chup rahe.... Kabhi gaaya ye kare... 🫣📣

Bin poochhe teri taarife sunaya yeh kare... Hai koi haqiqat tu ya koi fasana hai.... 🧠🫀

Kuch jaane agar to itna ke.... Yeh tera deewana hai.... Re mann mera, mane na mann mera.... 💫🦸🏻‍♂️👸🏻

Bablu Ji and Janaki Devi are power couple. Periodt! 👑

Untrashing Himalayas, One Cloth At a Time

With a focus on empowering women and advocating for environmentally friendly practices, Nirmal Chaya is dedicated to transforming waste into artistic creations. From the Nirmal Chaya Self-Help Group, 17 women have taken the initiative to hone their skills in knitting and sewing, breathing new life into discarded textiles that would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

These women are on a quest to prove that waste isn’t waste until we waste it. They are not only crafting beautiful and functional items but also challenging conventional notions of waste, demonstrating the transformative power of creativity and resourcefulness in building a more sustainable future.

Nirmala Devi Ji, a proud member of Nirmal Chaya, states that “I am not one to shy away from the fact that I create products from discarded cloth waste. In fact, it fills me with immense pride to be a part of Nirmal Chhaya and play a part in making our environment cleaner.”

Nirmal Chaya has conducted four cloth donations, which received a whopping 1,922 kg of textile waste. This cloth was then converted into unique artisan pieces. Their signature creations are cloth bags, crafted from discarded garments. These bags not only carry groceries but also a message of environmental responsibility. Beyond bags, they offer items ranging from reusable cloth masks to cozy sweaters for babies and even stuffed animals. This intervention was coupled with awareness activities through radio, social media, and direct community engagement. This endeavor exemplifies the community’s ability to repurpose waste into crafts, showcasing how waste can be transformed into both meaningful creations and economic opportunities, challenging the notion that waste is solely a liability.

We strive to create lasting social impact by empowering communities to take charge of their environment. Through our innovative approach of upcycling cloth waste, we are not only reducing textile pollution but also providing meaningful livelihood opportunities to marginalized communities. By turning discarded fabric into reusable products, we promote waste recycling while fostering a culture of sustainability in the Himalayan region. This initiative has transformed waste into a valuable resource, proving that even the smallest actions can lead to significant environmental and social change.

Women leaders play a crucial role in driving this transformation, and at Waste Warriors, we actively encourage their participation in our projects. Many women in rural areas face limited employment opportunities, and our cloth upcycling initiative helps bridge this gap by offering skill-based training and sustainable income sources. By empowering them with the tools and knowledge to turn textile waste into reusable items, we are not only supporting rural livelihoods but also strengthening their role as environmental champions in their communities. Their leadership in waste recycling efforts inspires others to adopt eco-friendly practices and contribute to a cleaner, greener future.

Our work in the Himalayas also aligns with CSR projects in India, as corporate partners play a vital role in amplifying our impact. By collaborating with businesses committed to sustainability, we expand our reach and provide more resources for waste recycling, community engagement, and livelihood programs. Companies looking to invest in meaningful environmental and social initiatives can support Waste Warriors in scaling up our efforts, ensuring that rural and marginalized communities benefit from long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Together, we can drive corporate responsibility while creating a positive impact on both people and the planet.

For those looking to make a direct difference, volunteering with an NGO like Waste Warriors offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world. Whether through hands-on participation in waste collection drives, skill-sharing workshops for women entrepreneurs, or awareness campaigns in rural villages, volunteers play a crucial role in driving positive change. By joining our mission to untrash the Himalayas, individuals and organizations alike can become part of a movement that uplifts communities, protects nature, and redefines waste as a resource rather than a burden.

12 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha-twelve faced rudraksha Twelve Mukhi Rudraksha is blessed by Sun God. It is also called Dwadash Aditya. According to Padmapurana, its holder is free from fear and disease. attains liberation. Poverty never bothers him!

It is written in Shrimaddevi Bhagwat Purana that armed man, horned animal and lion are not afraid of Dwadashmukhi Rudraksha. The wearer never suffers physical or mental pain. This grain makes a person fearless and carefree.

In Rudraksha Jabalopanishad, there is a description of this grain getting the blessings of Lord Vishnu.It is the experience of many people that it has the power to cure many diseases. It is helpful in leadership qualities and subjugation. It makes a person radiant and full of inner strength like the Sun God. It removes all kinds of doubts and gives inner peace. According to the Atharvaveda, the Sun God cures heart disease, skin diseases including leprosy and eye diseases. Twelve faced Rudraksha has all these qualities.Sun God’s wife is Chhaya Devi, while the sons are Kakvahana Shani and Yama. Sun is the controller of Manik Ratna. The sun, the giver of the qualities of all plants

God is there and his blessings remove the malefic effects of Shani and Yama. The three Vedas: Rik, Yajuh and Sama—which belong to Vishnu, are contained in the Sun God, who transmits heat. Aditi was the mother of the gods, while Diti was the mother of the demons and Danu was the mother of the demons. When the gods started losing the battle with the demons, Aditi prayed to the Sun God for the welfare of her sons. Surya Dev gave him Abhay that he would be born in Sahasranshu form as the son of Aditi and destroy the demons. Thus Martand was born who killed the demons. Our Puranas are full of stories of the virtues and might of the Sun.Samb, the son of Lord Krishna, was very beautiful and charming, but he was afflicted with leprosy due to his sinful behavior. He worshiped the sun and got cured. It is said in Markandeya Purana that the wearer of Dwadashmukhi Rudraksha is free from all problems.
