*Our West-influenced intellectuals sneer at the mention of the cow. The same
intellectuals first sneered at yoga. Now it is a fashion to do pranayama at
cocktail parties The arguments in the West for cow slaughter are no more
uncontested. There are better sources of protein than beef. Any dietician's
chart shows that beef with 22 per cent protein ranks below soya-bean (43),
groundnut (31) and pulses (24 per cent). One kg of beef takes seven kg of
crops and 7,000 kg of water to produce*
*India has 150 million cows, each of them giving an average of less than 200
litres of milk per year. If they could be fed and looked after, they can
give 11,000 litres, as Israeli cows do. That would provide milk for the
whole world. The milk we produce today is the cheapest in the world. With
enhanced production we could become the world's largest exporter of milk and
it could be India's biggest foreign exchange earner.*

* Our West-influenced intellectuals sneer at the mention of the cow. The
same intellectuals first sneered at yoga. Now it is a fashion to do
pranayama at cocktail parties. They sneered at our sanyasis as `godmen'. Now
they flock to ashrams with their white friends ever since the Beatles. Who
knows, they may soon have a cow in their backyards.
For those of us who are desi by pedigree and conviction, I place some facts
about the cow in the perspective of modern Hindutva.*

* The cow was elevated to divinity in the Rig Veda. In Book VI, Hymn XXVIII
attributed to Rishi Bhardwaja extols the virtue of the cow. In Atharva Veda
(Book X, Hymn X), the cow is formally designated as Vishnu, and `all that
the Sun surveys'.*

* Indian society has addressed the cow as gow mata. The Churning of the Sea
episode brings to light the story of the creation of the cow. Five divine
Kamadhenus (wish cows), viz, Nanda, Subhadra, Surabhi, Sushila, Bahula
emerged in the churning.*

* Thousands of names in our country are cow-related: Gauhati, Gorakhpur,
Goa, Godhra, Gondiya, Godavari, Goverdhan, Gautam, Gomukh, Gokarna, Goyal,
Gochar etc.
They signify reverence for the cow, and our abiding faith that the cow is
Annapurna.*

* In 2003, the National Commission on Cattle under Justice G M Lodha
submitted its recommendations to the NDA government. The report called for
stringent laws to protect the cow and its progeny in the interest of the
rural economy, a constitutional requirement under Directive Principles of
State Policy. Article 48 of the Constitution says: `The State shall
endeavour to organise agriculture and animal husbandry on modern and
scientific lines and shall, in particular, take steps for preserving and
improving the breeds, and prohibiting the slaughter of cows and calves and
other milch and draught cattle'. During the First War of Independence in
1857, when Bahadur Shah `Zafar' was installed as emperor by the Hindus in
Delhi for a brief period, his Hindu prime minister, on the emperor's
proclamation, made cow killing a capital offence. In Maharaja Ranjit Singh's
kingdom, the only crime that invited capital punishment was cow slaughter.*

* The cow, according to the Vedas, provides four products for human use: (i)
Godugdha (cow milk): As per Ayurveda, cow milk has fat, carbohydrates,
minerals and Vitamin B, and even a capacity for body resistance to radiation
and for regenerating brain cells. (ii) Goghruta (ghee): The best ghee, it
is, as per Ayurveda useful in many disorders. In yajna, it improves the
air's oxygen level. (iii) Gomutra (urine): Eight types of urine are used for
medicinal purpose nowadays, among which cow urine is held to be the best.
The Americans are busy patenting it. It has anti-cancer, anti-bacterial,
anti-fungal and antioxidant properties.
It has immune-modulator properties, which makes it useful for immune
deficiency diseases. In the classics there are many references to cow urine
as a drug of choice. Even the Parsis follow this practice.*

* Lastly, (iv), Gomaya (dung) is considered as valuable as Gomutra and used
to purify the environment, as it has radium and checks radiation effects.*

* Ancient Hindu wisdom on the medicinal properties of cow urine is borne out
by two patents granted in the US for cow urine distillate (Patent numbers
6410059 and 6896907).
Even China has granted the distillate a patent as a DNA protector. A global
patent has been granted for cow urine, neem and garlic as a pest repellent
and for fungicidal and growth promoting properties for different crops (WHO
2004/ 087618A1). A US patent has been granted for strains from Sahiwal cow
milk for plant growth promoter phytopathogenic fungi controlling activity,
abiotic stress tolerating capability, phosphatic solubilisation capability,
etc. And CSIR has filed for a US patent for amrit pani, a mixture of cow
dung, cow urine and jiggery, for soil health improvement properties.*

* These claims were initially made in the Charaka Samhita, Sushrut,
Vaghbhati and Nighantu, Ratnakar, etc. They prove the utility of cow dung
and urine for sustainable agriculture as well as for disease prevention.*

* The arguments in the West for cow slaughter are no more uncontested. There
are better sources of protein than beef. Any dietician's chart shows that
beef with 22 per cent protein ranks below soya-bean (43), groundnut (31) and
pulses (24 per cent). One kilogram of beef takes seven kg of crops and 7,000
kg of water to produce.*

* Thus cow protection makes economic and ecological sense. Swami Dayananda
Saraswati, convenor of the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha, has argued that
non-vegetarianism indirectly contributes heavily to greenhouse gases and
other pollution.*

* He quotes a UN report from 2006 that says, "Raising animals for meat as
food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the
world combined". Ten of billions of animals farmed for food release gases
such as methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide through their massive
amounts of manure. "The released methane", the report says, "has 23 times
the global warming potential of CO2". For these animals to graze, virgin
forests are cleared. The livestock industry also needs vast stretches of
land to raise mono-crops to feed the animals. The CO2 that the trees and
plants store escapes into the air when they are destroyed.*

* Growing fodder implies heavy use of synthetic fertilizers produced with
fossil fuels.
While this process emits a huge amount of CO2, the fertilizer itself
releases nitrous oxide (3) -- a greenhouse gas that is 296 times more potent
than CO2. Alarming though these facts are, all that people have to do is to
avoid red meat. There will be no need to breed millions of animals for daily
slaughter. The animal population will consequently decline.*

* A single individual by not consuming meat prevents the equivalent of 1.5
tonnes of CO2 emissions in a year. This is more than the one tonne of CO 2
prevented by switching from a large sedan to a small car.
So there are a number of reasons to be a vegetarian. People who eat meat
think a pure vegetarian diet is optional. But now they have no choice if
they are alive to what is happening to this life-bearing planet. There is no
justification for eating meat, given the devastating consequences for the
planet.*

* A new fervour for a cow renaissance is necessary. It is constitutional and
we should defend it with all our might About The Author; Subramanian Swamy
is a former Union minister *

7 Don'ts After a Meal
? Don't smoke - Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
? Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1 hr before meal.
? Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
? Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted and blocked.
? Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

? Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actuality this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
? Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
FINALLY DONT JUST KEEP THIS EMAIL....PLEASE FORWARD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.
