	Krishna The Living God of Braj
		This is very apparent in Braj, the land of Krishna’s birth, where chanting the name of Shri Krishna and Shri Radha forms an essential part of the everyday existence of the local people.
		The Braj Bhumi, where Krishna was born and lived the early part of his life, provides ample evidence of the innumerable ways in which the divine self is venerated, worshipped and remembered, as a way of life.
		It is the Braj Bhumi where the devotees, the poets and saints converged in the past to seek inspiration from this sacred land.

		Dave said that of the 25 hills of religious significance identified by the Braj Rakshak Dal, no mining activity on behalf of the Mining Department was reported at as many as 17 hills.

		Braj Bhoomi is the entire area falling within a 168-mile radius around Mathura that is inseparable from folklore about the cowherd god.
		It is left to long-timers to notice the effects on the ecology of the area.
		The local administrations in the districts of Mathura, Bharatpur and Agra are helpless as the mining mafia carries on illegal dynamite blasting and quarrying of stones from hills that once formed part of the Krishna folklore.

		Known as the land where Lord Krishna, as he was born and spent his youth, Braj Bhoomi has little towns and hamlets that are still alive with the Krishna.
		And thus the history of Braj Bhoomi and Lord Krishna weaves around its capital, the western bank of the Yamuna, Mathura's history dates back at least to 600 B.C. and many archaeological remains have testified to its importance over the ages.
		Mathura and Braj Bhoomi regions are important for the festivals centering around Lord Krishna and his consort Sri Radha Rani which are distinct to the area.

	Stop Mining in Braj - the land of Lord Krishna Petition
		We the members of the global community and the connoisseurs of Braj culture and heritage are outraged and deeply concerned over the brutal destruction of heritage hills of Braj which lie in the Deeg & Kaman tehsils of Bharatpur district of Rajasthan.
		As per the satellite studies conducted by Braj Rakshak Dal (www.brajrakshakdal.org) — the activist group fighting for the protection and overall resurrection of Braj, the quantum of mining operations has increased to the tune of 2800 times in the last few years.
		We also request you to take an initiative towards conserving the pristine glory and grandeur of Braj which lies in close vicinity of Taj Mahal, by facilitating the restoration of its hundreds of Kunds, revival of its dozens of transcendental groves and the regeneration of the barren hill slopes.

	Save Braj Bhoomi - Land of Shri Krishna Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ]
		This is to request you to please stop with immediate effect the most callous, severely ruinous and catastrophic rampant mining going on in our Holly Braj Hills area which is in the domain of state of Rajasthan.
		We NRIs in USA have heard from various preachers of Srimad Bhagvatam and Geeta who come here, that whole Braj is so sacred that even the smallest sand particle of Braj area is reverend and all hills of Braj are sacred forms of various God and Goddess who had wished to be part of Braj.
		It is absolutely unreasonable to have this kind of approach towards precious and sacred holly hills of Braj.

	Haveli Braj Bhushanjee \| Hotel Review \| Bundi \| Frommers.com
		This is without a doubt the best place to stay in Bundi, and -- despite the small size of the rooms and basic facilities -- one of the most authentic heritage properties in India.
		Situated on a narrow lane inside the walled city, just below the palace, it also happens to be one of the most professionally run guesthouses in India, managed by the discreetly proud Braj Bhushanjee brothers (four of whose ancestors were prime ministers of Bundi State in the 19th c.).
		Many of the walls are covered with exceptional-quality murals, again typical of the Bundi school of miniature painting, and though each room (like those in so many other guesthouses) is traditionally decorated, the choice of objects, fabrics, and carpets (all sourced from Bundi and surroundings) shows a great deal of thought and innate flair.

	Tehelka - The People's Paper
		The braj pilgrimage is usually identified with the temples and ashrams of Mathura —; Vrindavan region; many pilgrimage sites too exist in the Braj hills of Deeg and Kaman tehsils in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan.
		The greenery of this region supports the pastoral people (the famous gwalas of Braj) as well as nomadic pastoral groups from other parts.
		Activists of Braj Rakshak Dal say that due to the highly mechanised nature of the mining work, not many people will be unemployed after the ban.
