Fwd: Invitation to World Cow Conference(Vishwa Gou Sammelana)- Apr 21st-29th,2007,India

[Guest guest]

At the request of the original sender, I am re-posting

the following message, as there is a correction in the

message i.e it was ealrlier posted tha the programme

is from 21st-24th April instead of 21st-29th

April,2007...

 

Not really Amma-related, though may be of interest to

any list members in Karnataka, and there are certainly

a few cows kept at Amma's ashram.

> > Why Cows are not having an alternate?

> > Cows in India are not just animals, but are

> revered as one of the

> icons of the country's very culture and

> civilization, and are indeed

> worshipped as " cow-mother. " In the course of their

> local evolution

> through the ages, Indian native cows have developed

> their own

> characteristics, which are acclaimed the world over

> for their

> wonderful properties. Absorbing energy from the

> sunrays through

> a " solar pulse " on their back, the native cows yield

> milk of the

> highest quality, with superlative qualities to

> enhance man's

> physical, emotional, mental and spiritual

> well-being.

> > Apart from milk, Indian native

> cows are also valued highly for their urine and

> dung, which are

> finding increasing applications in almost every

> aspect of human life

> today, and novel products like " cow shampoo " , " cow

> soap, " " cow

> incense sticks, " and " cow insect-/pest-repellants "

> are now becoming

> increasingly popular in the country,among

> health-and-environm ent-

> conscious consumers. Native Indian cows have ever

> lived happily and

> healthily in the country's physical and human

> environments and

> rendered yeoman service to the country's economy not

> only by their

> milk output, but also by their invaluable aid in

> ploughing,

> transportation and several other agrarian operations

> –- all with the

> least demands on maintenance and investment.

> > Due of slaughtering of them everyday at the rate

> of 12 per minute

> only 33 native breeds have survived now, as against

> a diverse range

> of 70 breeds a few years ago. A host of cow products

> are being

> manufactured and related training is being given at

> various centers –

> Scientific research is being carried out in regard

> to applications of

> cow products, including medicines for various

> diseases

> > • Cow Therapy Centers (GoChikitsa Kendra) have

> been opened at

> Hosanagara, Mysore, Bangalore and South Kanara to

> treat serious

> diseases like cancer and TB, and these Centers have

> reported

> encouraging success rates.

> > • Right knowledge on the use of cow manure is
