Perform heroics on the virtuous path so that I know what kind of milk 1 fed you”.
It is said that a baby whose mother breast-feeds it for at least a few days from birth, plays with it, picks it up in its lap and hugs it often, such a baby grows into and remains very strong all its life.
Milk from the crossbred Holstein and Jersey cows (this is a very dangerous matter) is not suitable at all. 1) It contains elements that lead to illnesses, 2) They contribute to several contagious diseases spreading among native cows, 3) Since they provide milk only for a short period their fatty bodies are very useful for slaughter-houses, 4) They are very expensive, 5) They have to be kept in controlled temperature which is impossible for our poor farmers, 6) They have a very poor immunity. Mad Cow Disease occurs due to artificial insemination and the presence of animal food in the fodder.
If breeding is through artificial insemination the uterus generally weakens and the cow can deliver at best three to four calves. While a native cow inseminated by bulls delivers upto 13 calves.
If milk is obtained through the cruel treatment with axytocin it will not be accepted by any body. Then the stale and infected milk at the dairy will be of no use.
What the yogis called the nectar on this earth – the milk of some mother or cow cannot be treated as unfit by any logic.
