Prevent Cardio vascular disease (CVD) with use of Desi Gir Cow Ghee


Taking into account the wide spreading of Obesity across the world. Ayurveda’s views can appear contradictory but ghee has been used for millennia in Indian diets without any reported adverse effects of health. One must scrutinize ghee through the modern scientific lens. Refutition Of Lipid Hypothesis In Modern Research All fats, especially saturated fats, have been widely vilified by modern health authorities. This can be traced back to the Lipid Hypothesis of the 1950’s. Which stated heart disease was due to high intakes of saturated fats. It suggested favouring polyunsaturated fats would improve health though growing evidence suggests the Lipid Hypothesis was wrong. Most of the earlier studies focused on cholesterol levels as an indicator of CVD risk but recent studies indicate. That the more specific culprit is oxidised low density lipoprotein cholesterol that leads to atherosclerosis. The presence of 65% saturated fat in Gir Cow Ghee made it an […]

Ban Cow Slaughter To Save Economy


The first slaughterhouse in India was started in 1760, with a capacity to kill 30,000 animals per day. At least one crore cows were killed in a year. Once the cows were slaughtered, then there was no manure and there is no insecticide like cow urine. In 1740 in the Arcot District of Tamil Nadu, 54 Quintals of rice was harvested from one acre of land using simple manure and pesticides like cow urine and cow dung. As a result of the 350 slaughterhouses which worked day and night by 1910 India was practically bereft of gau. India had to approach Britain’s doorstep for industrial manure. Thus industrial manure like urea and phosphate made way to India. The tragedy of the situation is since 1947 the number of slaughterhouses has increased from 350 to 36,000. The slaughter of cows has disrupted agranian based Indian economy and forced the people to […]

Save Cows And Save Ecosystem


Save Cows And Save Ecosystem The idea of using animal waste to generate energy has been around for centuries, with manure being used every day in remote villages to generate heat for cooking. Now the researchers have found a way to combine dairy farm waste and the heat generated from data centers to create a sustainable ecosystem. If an average dairy cow produces about 55 kg of solid waste each day, which adds to 20 metric tonnes annually – the weight of four adult elephants. For a medium-sized dairy farm of 10,000 cows, 200,000 metric tones of manure (equating to the weight of 40,000 elephants) is generated each year. Unmanaged livestock waste can create negative environmental impact (air pollution and ground water contamination); and the methane created through anaerobic digestion of manure has proven to be 21 times more damaging than carbon dioxide, aggravating climate change. Around 3.0 kilowatt-hours of […]

Mass Scale Slaughter Of Cows And The Problem Of Rising Unemployment In India.


As a result of large scale slaughter of animals resulting in non-availability of dung, millions of Hindus and Muslims and people of other castes have lost their age-old profession. What we need to is the change in thought process that generates apathy towards the mother cows in so called modern society. Lets ponder upon some bare facts point wise- We know that the dung cake and the meat of the bullock both are commercial commodities. If one bullock is slaughtered, its meat i.e. slaughtering activity can sustain the butcher’s trade for only a day. For the next day’s trade another bullock has to be slaughtered. But if the bullock is not slaughtered, about 5 to 6 thousand dung cakes can be made out of its dung per year, and by the sale of such dung cake, one person can be sustained for a whole year. If a bullock survives even […]

Importance of cow dung in maintaining herbs, forest and Ayruvedic medicines.


Importance of cow dung in maintaining herbs, forest and Ayruvedic medicines. In earlier times cows were taken to the forest or GOCHARS (reserved areas for feeding of cows). There they roamed freely eating the grass and natural herbs which made their milk nutritious and added medical qualities to their milk, in turn they made the soil fertile with their dung which supported and maintained the forests. But in modern time with non availability of dung, forests get destroyed and with the destruction of forests, many ayurvedic herbal medicines have also became either extinct or scarce. Unfortunately the poor Indian population is unable to afford to get treated with the costly Bhasma (oxides of various minerals like Gold, Copper, pearls etc.) and with the medicines under Allopathic system. Consequently people in poor Indian villages, carry on with illness for life, without any treatment. Herbal medicines are the basis of Ayurvedic system […]

Mother And Child Care Benefits Of Cow Dung

Cow Dung – A Gold Mine


One of the few nectars of this world is water, another is milk and the third one is cattle dung. With onset of what we call “modern civilization”, we have been despising a few things and one of these is cattle dung. This is so because we have forgotten that the basis of our progress as a race depends on the optimal use of our resources, an important resource base being bovine dung. If a choice before mankind were put in crystal clear terms as to whether it chooses cattle dung or desertification of the earth. If we accept the concept that dung is the nucleus of our prosperity and has no substitute, the following will follow: – Fertilizer will be cheaply available to us. – Food grains can be produced and made available at reasonable rates. – Our soil will retain its fertility. – Cheap fuel will be available […]
