Products made from cow urine and cow dung on sale at Magh Mela in Prayagraj

NEW DELHI: Products made from cow urine and cow dung manufactured at a gaushala in Bithoor in Kanpur are on sale at the current Magh Mela in Prayagraj.

From soaps to incense to toothpaste and eye drops, a lot of products are on sale.

Abhishek Bajpai, manager of the VHP-run cow shelter told reporters that this is the first time that such products are up for sale at Magh Mela but they were very much out in the market during 2013 and 2019 Kumbh Melas.

"Our products range from organic fertilisers and home cleaners to eye drops and painkillers. People who believe in the medicinal properties of cow urine and dung are visiting our stall in large numbers. The products are already available at all the RSS/VHP camps across the country. We are also in the process of registering with online shopping sites,” he said according to media reports.

Cow urine and cow dung have been touted as substances with many benefits by many organizations.

Recently, Chakrapani Maharaj, President of Hindu Mahasabha had told media that cow urine and cow dung can be used to treat coronavirus.

Last year, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balakrishna distributed about 800 cows among the poor local people of Chirang in Patanjali Yogapeeth and Goshala of Chirang.

Talking to media persons, Baba Ramdev said that through this activity Patanjali was trying to form a renaissance in the field of milk production of Assam. “These are Indian cows brought from several parts of India. Actually, our people are using Jersey and other foreign species of cows due to which quality of milk has become poor. But these Indian species of cows will give quality milk along with quantity. These cows can give 8 to 15 litres of milk every day. I think local poor people will get benefit from this,” Ramdev said.
