Holy Cows - The Indian Breeds

As we all Indians know that, the cows, a symbol of divinity, are worshipped in our dear motherland. Kamadhenu, a sacred mythological cow that gives you anything you wish for, has been mentioned in our glorious culture. Hence, we love, respect, and worship them, for them being equivalent to God.

We just don't worship them for being given importance in our mythology. In fact, they are extremely useful for us for every purpose. For food in the form of milk & its derivatives, for transportation(bullocks), in agriculture(70% of our population is involved in it, 98% of them are dependent on cattles), for medicines etc., cows are a boon to us. Many people's livelihood is blessed by the cows. This is why they are important, not merely for mythological importance. Read on.

Cow dung & urine have medicinal value. They are proven antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides. That is why we consume them in the form "PANCHAGAVYA" mixed with ghee,curd & milk. But, how many of us realize this? Cow dung has the capability to arrest radiations from radioactivity. They are used in the nuclear reactors in our dear motherland as well as in Russia. The Russians know it, but do we? It purifies the air around it. Hence, some people in Bhopal, who coated their house's floor with cow dung, survived the gas leak tragedy which killed so many people. Cow dung is a known natural fertilizer.

The urine is used for so many(virtually all) diseases. Consumption of distilled "GOMUTRA" regularly, in right quanity, helps develop immunity against many awful & dreaded diseases. It also cures them if ailing from the diseases like high or low blood pressure, diabetes, flu etc. GOMUTRA, mixed in correct proportions with water can be used as insecticides for our plantations, whether in our backyards or in farms. It can also be used to increase our beauty. One special & important thing is, ONLY THE PURE INDIAN BREEDS can give you such usefulness. No foreign bred or hybrids can. If you try gomutra of non-Indian breeds for the said purposes, the effects will be negative.

Some of the Indian breeds of cattle like Hallikar, Amrithmahal, Khilari, Krishna, Malenadu Gidda, Javari can be commonly seen within Karnataka. Other breeds are Ongole, Baragur, Sindhi, Hariana, Kankrej, Sahiwal, Gir, Ponwar etc., can be found in various parts of our glorious country.

There is a huge demand for our breeds from other parts of the world, especially from Western & Australia, because of our breeds' capability to adapt to & survive in any environmental conditions. Other non-Indian breeds; No. Our breeds can thrive even when there is scanty food & water. They are known for not losing their body mass, strength & working ability even in adverse conditions. A very special trait of our own breeds.

If you are interested to know & learn more about our breeds, I suggest you visit Ramachandrapura Mutt near Hosanagara, Shimoga Dist., Karnataka. Do visit the place for peace of mind & cleansing of soul.
