Amasayithi
I-East-Central India iyikhaya lenqwaba yezihlahla ezingcwele. Kukholakala ukuthi lezi zigodi zakha unkulunkulu obizwa ngokuthi uSarna Mata. Ngokwezinkolelo zendawo, USarna Mata ukhule engathokozile ngokuwohloka akubonile kulezi zindawo emashumini eminyaka edlule. Manje, uziveza ezingqondweni zabesifazane bomdabu bendawo, ngesimo sokuthwebula izinto. Lokhu kubangele ukunyakaza kokuvikela, ukuvuselelwa nokwakhiwa kabusha kwezihlahla ezingcwele. Lezi zindawo zemvelo ngokuvamile zineqoqo lamaSal ngokuyinhloko (I-Shorea robusta) izihlahla, kanye nezibonelo ezimbalwa zezinye izinhlobo zezihlahla.
abagcina
Ukunyakaza kukaSarna Mata kuyindaba eyinqaba njengoba imvelaphi yayo ibonakala ilele emvuselelweni yenkolo yokuzenzakalela yokukhonzwa kukankulunkulu ongokomoya osuselwe eMhlabeni uSarna Mata ngabesifazane besizwe sama-Oraon ikakhulukazi. USarna Mata ungunkulunkulukazi wendabuko wangaphambi kweSanskritic futhi sekuyisikhathi eside kuqondakala ukuthi ungowesifazane wesifazane wonkulunkulu wesilisa ophakeme.
Ngenkathi ukubamba iqhaza kwabesifazane kwakuyinto engathandeki ekukhulekeleni ngokwesiko kwamasango angcwele, abesifazane manje bakha umnyombo wemisebenzi yenkolo. Ngokusho kwalaba besifazane, lolu shintsho olukhulu lwenzeka ngesikhathi sokuphatha lapho bakholelwa ukuthi banonkulunkulu waseSarna Mata. Ngenkathi ubanjwe yifa, laba besifazane babeyokhulumela phezulu lokho abakholelwa ukuthi kuyintukuthelo kankulunkulukazi ekuwohlokeni kwesimo senhlalo, imvelo futhi ikakhulukazi, ulaka lwakhe ngokunganakwa kwe-Ashera engcwele lapho ayengamele. Abesifazane abathole le trances yokutholwa ezigabeni zokuqala zombiko wokunyakaza baholelwa ezindaweni ezingcwele zemvelo ezazikhohliwe yimiphakathi yabo. Ukutholakala kukaSarna Mata ekujuleni kolwazi lwakhe kunikeze laba besifazane nabanye amandla okuthatha imbangela yokuvuselelwa kwezihlahla ezingcwele - umsebenzi abazinikele kuwo ngentshiseko enkulu. Kulezi zinsuku, le nhlangano inamaqembu amaningi eSarna Mata, isabalale kuso sonke isifunda seMpumalanga-Ephakathi yeNdiya.
izinsongo
Lezi zindawo ezingcwele zinqamula kuzo zonke izigaba maqondana namazinga osongo abhekana nawo. Ezinye zivikelekile, abanye basabisa futhi basengozini. Njengomphumela wenhlangano ye-ecofeminist Sarna, ama-more groves ayavikelwa. Izinsongo kulezi zingosi zemvelo ezingcwele ngokuyinhloko ziyizinsongo zenhlangano ye-ecofeminist, esikhundleni sokusongela ngqo imvelo yendawo. Usongo oluvelele nolusobala kule nhlangano ubukhokho bamaNdiya. Ukulindelwa kokuzithoba kwabesifazane kusabalele eNdiya futhi ngenxa yalokhu inhlangano ye-ecofeminist ibhekwa ngokusolwa ngamanye amaqembu ezenhlalo. Kwenzeke amacala amadoda ahlasela abesifazane angena ezindaweni ezingcwele zemvelo. Kwezinye izimo, ukwenza isiko kwabesifazane kusolwa ngokuthakatha.
Vision
Amaqembu abesifazane ahlangana ezihlahleni ezingcwele atholakala cishe kuwo wonke amaqoqo emizana esifundeni anentshisekelo yokuzenza izinhlangano ezaziwa njengamaqembu okuzisiza, exhaswe nguhulumeni kanye nama-NGO. Lokhu kuzosebenza njengamayunithi wezezimali ezincane, futhi kuzophinde kunike amandla abesifazane ukuqala amabhizinisi amancane afaka phakathi ukwenziwa nokuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo eyenziwe ngezandla.
