Hindu purification with a new “cow urine” soda.
By theBEattitude
I can’t believe this is a true story.
Cow urine and feces are used to “purify” people in the Hindu caste system. Now you can get your daily urine in a convenient soda drink. There’s nothing better than drinking the waste of a dirty farm animal to purify yourself.

Hi,
What you have written on the blog is partial true.
We use the cow dung as a purifier for home. In fact, it is seen in a traditional and typical vilages of INDIA. No where else you get a chance to see it in Cities and Towns. Coming to the urine, They sprinkle the urine in their home having a feel of the goddess presence at their home.
The soda is totaly flaw. I have never heard this in 25 years of time. In future if that happens i will post it on my web.
Cow dung they mix in water and put in front dry soil in front of their home to make it set, and look dark in color. They put Rangoli on the ground.
Please check for Rangoli. its symbol of our heritage.
Thanks.

theBEattitude,
This cow-urine soda nonsense was started by a Hindu right wing extremist organisation called RSS. It’s like generalising something said by a Mormon church and imply it to all Americans Christians.
Anyways, I’m an atheist from India. Formerly Hindu. And yes, Hinduism is one of the most absurd religions. Though it somehow comes up with a ‘stronger’ theology than Christianity. But all are regressive nonetheless.

Thanks for the insight Siddharth. I kind of assumed it was an extremist group. But these types of organizations always make for interesting posts. Especially when they start drinking cow urine.

Urine of Farm animals is certainly not good for human consumption and dont forget its preproducts people eat in animal flesh, which is buoght at supermart and OOOOF the pork YAAAAAOOOOKKKKKK !. At least we in our Hindu tradition do not drink dead animals waste. lol
Cow specially Indigenous and Indian cow and with further classification of breeds like more popular KAPILA GAAYE carries tremendous therapeutic enzymes in her body fluids. And in body fluids milk is most nutritious and suitable for regular consumption by humans. Even the new age scientist sitting in high profile medical labs have found therapeutic benefits in urine of Indian cows. You should know cow urine is one of the things India exports to western countries where big pharma companies synthesize it and use in syrups and medicinal compounds for treatment under medical therapy

I am an atheist female from India. I suppose it is a rather belated moment to leave a comment, but though I have been atheist for quite a long time now, I have started reading actively about atheism rather recently.
My first reaction was shock. Because I did not see this in any newspaper at that time in India (and probably neither did anyone else near me). My next was laughter, because this is one of the most ridiculous things to have happened recently in a country where ridiculous is commonplace.
My third was a grim feeling of foreboding. The RSS is essentially a bunch of fundamentalists who have always been directly or indirectly linked to communal riots in the country. And as far as peaceful work is concerned, this is where they choose to put their money rather than combating illiteracy and poverty.
