Some people have used the term ''Vishnoi'', meaning ''followers of Vishan, the all mighty one god, while most'' refer to themselves as ''Bishnoi''. Shree Guru Jambeshwar himself did not refer to ''Vishnoi'' but does mention Vishan.

Shree Guru Jambeshwar announced a set of 29 tenets.<ref name="jain52"/> These were contained in a document called ''Shabadwani'', written in the [[Devanagari|Nagri script]], which consists of 120 shabads. Of his 29 tenets, ten are directed towards personal hygiene and maintaining good basic health, seven for healthy social behaviour, and four tenets to the worship of God. Eight tenets have been prescribed to preserve bio-diversity - although most adherents are unaware of that, or such things as [[global warming]], as a concept<ref name="jain52"/> - and encourage good [[animal husbandry]]. These include a ban on killing animals and felling green trees, and providing protection to all life forms. The community is also directed to see that the firewood they use is devoid of small insects. Wearing blue clothes is prohibited because the dye for colouring them is obtained by cutting a large quantity of shrubs.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} Most of the followers of this religion are from Jat caste.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Menon|first=Gangadharan|date=2012-07-03|title=The Land of The Bishnois - Where Conservation Of Wildlife Is A Religion!|url=https://www.thebetterindia.com/5621/the-land-of-the-bishnois-where-conservation-of-wildlife-is-a-religion/|access-date=2021-06-01|website=The Better India|language=en-US}}</ref> | Shree Guru Jambeshwar announced a set of 29 tenets.<ref name="jain52"/> These were contained in a document called ''Shabadwani'', written in the [[Devanagari|Nagri script]], which consists of 120 [https://www.bishnoi.co.in/2024/10/sabad-vani-120-sabad.html shabads].
