About the Fundraiser

On this planet Earth, one of the most selfless, compassionate and generous beings is Gaumatha (cow). Cows are a symbol of purity and love of a mother. They bring abundance wherever they go. In fact, Cows are the only beings on this planet, who do not produce any waste at all! Not even through their breath! They exhale more oxygen than any other being. Cow dung is used as Natural Fertilizer for plants; Cow urine is used in Ayurvedic Medicines for its healing properties and Cow Milk is considered to be the best healing milk after Mother's Milk. Spiritually, the energy of a cow is so high that a person can reach deeper meditative states by being with the cows or serving them for even a shorter duration.

"1. As the paipal tree and holy basil plant give oxygen, similarly Cow is the only animal, which emits major amount of oxygen. If one spoon of pure ghee is poured on the burning cow cakes dung (fuel) then they can produce one-ton oxygen, therefore ghee made with cow milk is used in sacrificial fires and havans. There is no other better method to remove pollution.

2. India has approximately 30 crore cattle. Using their dung to produce biogas, we can save 6.0 crore ton of firewood every year. This would arrest deforestation to that extent.

3. The biggest energy contribution from cows and bulls is their dung. India’s cattle produce 800 million tons of manure every year. The cow’s dung, far from being contaminating, instead possesses antiseptic qualities. This has been verified by modern science. Not only is it free from bacteria, but it also does a good job of killing them. Believe it or not, it is every bit as good an antiseptic as Lysol or Mr. Clean.

4. Most of the dung is used for fertilizer at no cost to the farmer or to the world’s fossil fuel reserves. The remainder is used for fuel. It is odourless and burns without scorching, giving a slow, even heat. A housewife can count on leaving her pots unattended all day or return any time to a preheated griddle for short-order cooking. To replace dung with coal would cost India $1.5 billion per year." Read More....
