COW-DUNG CULTURE
Industries that make soap, powders, paints for walls and incense sticks are based on cow-dung. Cow-dung contains sixteen useful minerals. Cow-dung is not only useful in purifying the floor and the atmosphere, its use is also considered auspicious in the process of cremation.
Cow-dung is used in construction, it is useful as a fuel. Ash from cow-dung is useful in protecting foodgrains. scrubbing vessels and in making medicines. It is truly said that Cow-dung is a veritable gold mine.
The sages used to say that Laxmi resides in cowdung.
India has 48 crore acres arable land. Every acre needs five tons of bio-fertiliser. The cattle wealth generates 40 crore tons of dung. Out of this nearly 30% or 12 crore tons is used up as fuel. The remaining 28 crore tons is dried in the present process and used for farming.
Cow-dung and cattle-urine may be cheap but they are capable of literally enriching agriculture.
In the villages cow-dung provides employment through construction and other activities.
"Dung Economy" was a complete economically sound and scientific discovery of the great Aryan Civilisation. Putting a total stop to animal slaughter and establishing 'Dung Culture' is the way to welfare.
That land on which the cow is served in protection Centres is as pure and divine as the Vraj and Vrindavan.
