Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Indore The next stop was Indore. We have been corresponding with Indian gentlemen, B.R. Thakur, who has been involved in cow protection for many years. This is the first time we had the opportunity to meet him. Bhakta Rupa Prabhu met Balabhadra at the airport and with some detective work found B.R. Thakur and other persons who Balabhadra wanted to meet. Balabhadra was very fortunate to first meet with a number of trustees of the Manava Muni Go Raksha Trust. Pictured on the bottom of the front page of this newsletter starting from left to right are Mrs. Baharli Dubey, Rajesh Goyal, and Pawan Ruthare. Balabhadra was given a tour of their facilities, 6 acres, 12 kilometers outside of Indore. They are currently looking after 65 cows who have been saved from going to the slaughterhouse. Their facilities were very clean, the cows looked after very nicely, and the cows were affectionate and not afraid of meeting Balabhadra, a stranger to them. Every morning and evening bhajans (spiritual music) are played on the PA system in the cow shed Their goal is to eventually look after a thousand animals. The basic foundation work to extend the cow shed is already in place. The inspiration for this project has been the late respected Shri Murarilalji Tiwari and his desire to prove that cows can be maintained by their dung and urine. Balabhadra was most fortunate to meet Dr. Urmila Tiwari, the daughter of Shri Murarilalji who is also a trustee of the Trust. At present people running cow therapy centers are puchasing urine of desi cows for Rs. 5/-per liter and the cost of dung and urine of the cow is able to fetch Rs.50/-per day per cow if kept systematically and well attended. So, the economic future of Indian Agriculture and cow-rearing units is very well assured for a better future. Contact information for the Manava Muni Go Raksha Trust: Rajesh Goyal, trusteee: abhishekplast (AT) rediffmail (DOT) com , Pawan Ruthare trustee: pawanraj (AT) rediffmail (DOT) com. We then located a man by the name of Virendra Kumar Jain who is very prominent in the development of cow urine medicines in India. He gave Balabhadra several hours of his time and Balabhadra signed up to be a distributor of his line of cow urine medicine. At the Cow Urine Therapy and Research Institute, research is done by Virendra Kumar Jain including the constituents of cow urine, the effect cow urine has on numerous diseases, and the methods of taking cow urine. Every morning about 3 to 4 hundred persons visit the research center and are given purely filtered urine from their desi cows in the morning between 7 to 8 AM. This is being done entirely free and advise is also given for various cures and treatments on a charity basis on behalf of the Trust. They have also prepared certain medicines from cow's urine, dung and Ayurvedic herbs. " You may contact Virendra Kumar Jain at the Cow Urine Therapy and Research Institute, G-12 Ratlam Kothi, Indore-452 001 (MP) India, e-mail -drjain (AT) cowurine (DOT) com, Phone 91-731-2520644, 5070528, Mobile-91-98270-33255 Virendra Kumar Jain gave us detailed directions to B. R. Thakur's residence. He is a retired lawyer and English Professor and who has been involved with cow protection for many years. Balabhadra enjoyed lunch at his house where he met a good number of his family members and his wonderful cows who live in the courtyard of his house. B.R. Thakur then took Balabhadra to meet a dear friend of his, Mr. N. H. Shah, (photo 2) who is a prominent businessman and protecting 40 cows at his home. He takes care of them just as he would his own children. If you would like to also contact B.R. Thakur who had worked under Sir Alfred Howard in developing the famous Indore Composting method please refer to the following: B. R. Thakur, C-115 Sangam Nagar, Indore -6 410942 India The last evening Balabhadra was there most of the people he met came to the temple to meet with him again and they were able to take darshan of Sri Sri Radha Govinda. Bhakta Rupa Prabhu is a gem of a devotee and it was a great boon to Balabhadra to have his association and help during his visit to Indore. Bhakta Rupa prabhu has a degree in diary management and is very interested in cow protection. One of his goals is to have center based on healing arts, cow protection and harmonious village life.
