Panchgavya

[Guest guest]

We don't use any excreta here as medicine - not all Spiritual masters approve its use for human consumption - we had this clarified many years ago -

Panchgavya is a term used to describe five major substances, obtained from cow, which include cow's urine, milk, ghee, curd and dung. All the five products possess medicinal properties against many disorders and are used for the medicinal purpose singly or in combination with some other herbs. This kind of treatment is called Panchgavya therapy or cowpathy. It is a system of medicine just like as homeopathy, allopathy or naturopathy. The ancient ayurvedic literature (Vir Charak Samhita, Sushrut, Gad Nigrah) suggests a number of pharmacological applications of the substances obtained from Panchgavya. These substances are abundantly used in Ayurveda for treatment of several disorders such as leucoderma, hyperlipidemia, arthritis, renal disorders, dietary disorders, gastrointestinal track disorders, acidity, asthma etc. These remedies seem to be potent anticancer and anti HIV agents. Recently the cow urine has been granted U.S. Patents (No. 6410059 and 6896907) for its medicinal properties, particularly for its use along with antibiotics for the control of bacterial infection and fight against cancers. The Panchgavya products also show many other applications viz. excellent agricultural applications in the form of biofertilizers, vermicompost and biopesticides, which improves soil fertility and provide food grains free from the health hazards of using chemical fertilizers/pesticides. A systematic work needs to be carried out on chemical nature, biological activity, microbiology and pharmaceutical aspects and mechanism of bioactive compounds in Panchgavya. In the past due emphasis has not been given to the cow therapy which needs attention of scientific community. Associated links

Re: God is our lives.

Jane,The idea expressed by you has already been tried successfuly and this author is apart of this movement. What Akalpita proposed is also tried on a large scale here in India, in Maharashtra. Approximately twenty years ago, a group of devoted workers attending a discourse by Dongare Maharaj, at the end met him and asked "we would like to do something for mankind, what should we do""Do something for cows going to slaughethouses in thousands per day", he answered and closed eyes indicating no further intention to elaborate on what he said.The group started a Goushala, but difficulties in running it taught them several things. Farming techniques, Panch Gavya medicines, village health all fields they have improved. Several volunteers have been trained, infertile lands have been made fertile, organic farming now covers complete Akola district and in next five years, perhaps all Maharashtra may be organic.Many retired medical officers from Health centres have joined this movement. Medicines are made from cow urine, cowdung, herbs. Medical herb garden, Vedshala (A school for learning Vedas), special farms for preparing cow fodder, convalscence homes for cows which are sick due to cruelty at slaughter house are all of-shoots. Every year once 8 to 10 thousand volunteers from villages are offered free training on organic farming, making Panch Gavya medicines, their dispensing to sick, basic naturopathy, preliminary diagnosis etc.The movement is spreading from village to village. Training material is just few booklets, simple to understand andpractice. Be it farming, making medicines, diagnosis or administration of medicines, everything in the village, by the villager and benificiaries are villagers.With 80% of India's population in villages, the action has to be in villages. They are not blinded by allopathy, dazzle/mystery of diagnostic machines or clean looking pills in attractive packings. They very well know damage done by chemicals to the soil. And villagers seem to be more intelligent in comparing soil with human body.It is indeed fortunate that villagers do not spend time before PCs and get misled by internet. Nature is their teacher. If any scheme suggested by us has to work, it should study such successful model first. This model is now duplicated at various Goushalas all over Maharashtra, Rajastan, U.P., M.P., Bihar. South India is also falling in line slowly, Coorg district started it already.The scheme of Panch Gavya medicines is spreading like fire in forest, as chronic and "incurable in alloptahy" diseases like Cancer, diabetes, T.B., Asthma are getting fast cures in countryside. The medicines are now available in most northern Indian cities and cityfolks are also using them. Thanks to all TV Gurus like Baba Ramdev who made Panch Gavya popular.Dr BhateDr BhateThey , "Jane MacRoss" <HIGHFIELD wrote:>> But i guess if we have spent most of our lives studying why we are here, we just get on & do the work we are here for, instead of either sitting in front of a pc writing about it or just plain wondering.

"What God Sir? Have you ever seen God?". The Saint smiled again, and rolled his beautiful eyes, "Yes, I have seen Him just as I see you now." The sceptic youth did not want to believe but something in the Saint's demeanour made him feel that there was an element of truth in his words.> > Had the youth been of today's generation he would have popped yet another question before being satisfied.

He is even better than that because he is immortal, beyond death and decay, and also omnipotent, always at our beck and call. He resides in our heart and never leaves us for a second.

Because we do not have faith in His spiritual all pervasiveness.> > Is God religion? No. Is God business? Woe to them who think so. Is God a measure of our superiority? It is foolish to assume of one who is the embodiment of humility. Is God power? Of what need is power when you have Him? Then what is God? Is he love, friendship, or what? God is simply the overpowering presence that created us, sustains us and is ready to welcome us into His bosom when our work on this plane is over. As I said, God is our combined father and mother, more than the sumtotal of all the blessings of this world.> > Why have we forgotten such a wonderful presence? Because we are too busy with ourselves. Because out of an error of perception we assume ourselves to be the masters of this universe. The master of a house was supervising a festival in his palace.

Even if you offered toys to him now he would brush them away with an impatient wave of his hand.> > God is waiting for us to stop playing with our toys. He is waiting for us to turn our attention from them momentarily and seek Him within the recesses of our heart. The resulting union is an infinite sourc e of joy for both. It is the union of the Absolute with the Absolute. It is like one huge ocean merging with another with a joyful rush of waters that dissolve silently into each other to become one, turning frothy with rippling peals of laughter. It is a fulfilling experience that rejuvenates us, makes us forget our petty worries, our enmities, our differences, our selfishness, our stresses and strains, our ambitions, our greed for money and more assets, our helplessness, our weaknesses, our illnesses, our wrong association with the impermanent body and mind, and reminds us about the infinite nature of our existence.> > A spiritual aspirant was walking briskly with a Saint as they rushed to catch a train.

At last the train arrived and the Saint stepped into the compartment. At this moment the aspirant burst out, "Master when will you accept me?" The Saint turned back and smiled. He replied with a miscievous twinkle in his lotus like eyes, "What is the hurry? There is all eternity!!" The aspirant could immediately sense the infinite nature of their relationship. All his longings vanished and he smiled back.

Dear Jane,

 

Do you know what is the first medicine we are exposed to? Our own

urine. Yes, placental fluid that maintains us in our mothers womb is

99% human urine. This is known to the medical community. I think very

soon urine therapy will be surreptiously used by the modern medicos,

if it is not being done already (I suspect it is). If we have no

compunction against blood, human and animal serum, bones etc being

used as medicines then why should we have reservations about

Panchagavya?

 

Remember human excreta is NOT poison. It is simply the rejection of

the body of certain elements that it does not need at a particular

point of time. Even modern doctors know this. This is why they don't

raise their voce against urine therapy. An ex-health department

official in another group openly advocates it.

 

Dr Schussler who discovered the biochemic salts opined that ones own

urine provided the salts in the correct form and dose. It was this

statement of Dr Schussler which made me look at urine therapy in a new

light. However we should not try urine therapy if we are consuming

toxic drugs. Only when we are on a totally organic diet we can safely

use it.

 

In my case if all else fails then I will have to try Cow Urine. I have

no alternative. There is a clinic in Delhi which treats thus. These

systems will become popular when patients suffering from iatrogenic

complaints get relief from no other course.

 

Urine is a highly effective antibiotic and has been used by many

civillisations to treat deep suppurating wounds. I know it was used in

the aftermath of the wars in India to treat wounded soldiers.

 

I do not say this in the other forums because I will be ridiculed.

They ridicule such wonderful sciences as Ayurveda and Homeopathy, how

will they accept Urine Therapy?

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
