Cow Urine Drinkers



"Cow urine drinker" seems to be a word of abuse today.
In my village as a cow pours urine we collect it in our palms and sprinkle it over our heads.
We also have it internally. Yes, it is considered holy. I have had it. I have also given it to my daughter as part of ayurveda treatment.
Yes, ayurveda mandates use of cow urine, internally and externally.

  • Pratap Ramamurthy Very brave of you to mention this :-)
  • Aparna Krishnan Why ??? We are very happy with our practices.

  • Pratap Ramamurthy Because there are many people in my own Facebook connections who abuse others with those very words. Apparently, abusing someone as a "cow urine drinker" is the new way to prove one's "progressive credentials".
  • Aparna Krishnan The So called progressives are imo the most regressive/close minded. The So called liberals most illiberal to other points of view.

    Be that as it may, my land, my people, my practices, my faith. Is to which I owe my commitment.

  • Balaji Seshadri Absolutely agree Amma but does this apply to modern day cows as well ? I believe rural cows are still free of nasty feed. Please enlighten me from your observations and experience
  • Aparna Krishnan Our area has largely moved to mixed breeds as per government programs. The cowdung, cow urine' still stay medicinal, tho that of the local breeds will probably be superior. To move back to lower yielding native varieties will need state intervention. Pepe live off grazing a cow or teo, so the yield us important to them.

    Feed is grass and fodder, nothing much more.

  • Malavika Sidhanti Many Hindu practices are yet to be studied in depth before negated by the "scientific community"
    • Aparna Krishnan Malavika Sidhanti the modern scientific community is the most narrow minded.

      Rejecting arrogantly all that it cannot grasp ...

    • Chitra Sharan Unani, Homeopathy, Siddha - all of them too.

    • Malavika Sidhanti Aparna Krishnan quite agree! The scientific temperament is when everything that we do not yet understand is the material for further research. Time have higher sciences University where traditional and spiritual practices ingenious to India can be examined, researched, documented and preserved.

    • Malavika Sidhanti Chitra Sharan of course! including a center for spiritual paths evolved in India

      Especially spiritual science deserve to be examined and owned, else we'll be left quoting Nicola Tesla and several other higher practitioners of science to substantiate our past discoveries... who of course have been studying, evaluating and using ancient Indian knowledge earnestly.
