On cow’s milk




On cow’s milk

Drinking cow’s milk – is it good or bad? Is it right or wrong?


It is established fact that the next and only best thing after mother’s milk is ‘cow’s milk’ to the child. It is the safest and only ‘food’ right for both the children, the old and those whose constitution doesn’t support normal diet due to health complications.

Can the ‘safest’ food be ‘wrong’?

As per vedic culture, it is one food item that can be used for any sort of religious practice. It is enough as ‘prasadam’ – the food offered to the God after the religious practices of prayer, best to do ‘Abhishekem’ – a type of washing or cleansing idols as per vedic culture and tradition, used along with rice and clarified butter as ‘ahuti’ – an offering made to the fire God during various forms of pooja or homam.

Let’s keep religion aside for time being. Let’s look at simple facts only. It is again and again established that ‘yogurt’ made from milk is ‘probiotic’ and helps fight the infections and good for our immune system. Of all types milk cow milk had been found to be the best.

Ghee – is the by-product of butter and known to be the best form of fat and is required by the body. It gives ‘good cholestrol’. Cow-dung, clarified butter/ghee offered as an offering to fire daily just twice is known to do away with air  pollution.

Manure made with cow dung, ghee, milk and its urine when sprinkled in the fields is the best manure to the earth and such fields have given excellent yields. These are organic ways of raising crops, age old traditional way of farming in India that maintains the quality of soil and is eco-friendly. All our practices had been eco-friendly all these centuries, until of course we were swept by the flood of  ‘assumed culture and intelligence of the western world’ that brought the down fall of our character, practices and we are now bearing the brunt of such wrong beliefs and practices imbibed from the cultured ‘west’.

Now, why should we go through these benefits and facts about other products that we receive from cow if our simple doubt is ‘is drinking cow’s milk good or bad?’
