Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hare Ram Organic farming and the centrality of the cow- part 2 I think this is something everyone need to educated uopn. 60 years back, we were taking only one harvest a year. The rest of the time , the field was rested or 'rejuvenated'. The issue of plenty has nothing to do with farming methods. Rather with preservation techniques and distribution. The farmer 60 years back must have been a confused man. He knew neither his own tradition well nor the dangers of the alien methods. A professor in Annamalai University, was explaining in Podhigai channel how he helped get fantastic yields of sugar cane with just cow dung manure as fertiliser and pancha gavya as pesticide. Even the 'cide- meaning kill' is a misnomer. These natural agents created an atmosphere where the pests cannot thrive. Similarly, neem paste made the bugs sterile by interfering in their reproductive system. Sri natesan ji, organiser of Govardhan, a cow protecting organisation, was telling me that Masaal Dosai with potato smash inside became famous only in the 60 s. Because they could be easily transported from the Nilgiris . But no one bothered that the terrace farming that was a requisite for potato was runing the western ghats and the source of a number of rivers. Twenty five years back, if a guest came during noon, he was served only butter milk or rice- but no milk or coffee. Why ? Was milk insufficient ? Nope. India had much more cows then than at present. There was no preservation. The 'pasteurization' was not introduced. But no one bothered to notice that the pasteurized milk was a dead milk by heating it to 170 deg plus temperature. Initially in America, no cat or dog used to touch the pasteurized milk. My son's bronchial allergy/ cold taking/wheezing was greatly relieved after I started giving him farm fresh milk. You will vomit instantly if you ever enter the storage yards. The golbe- container is washed once in many months or not at all. Nowadays apples are waxed and stored for years. Waxing closes the pores in the outer skin of the apple and prevents the moisture from escaping. Taste a waxed apple and taste a fresh one. You will know. In essence, If we want our children and their descendants to live healthily, organic farming is essential and cow protection is a topmost priority. Without cow organic farming is inconceivable. Let us all give our big hands. Cow protection is not only spiritual in nature but profoundly scientific.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Ultra super seculars in India think cow protection is Hindu fundamentalism.Mother cow is everything to agrarian Indian economy. Westerners inject hormones to cows and thus get more milk. This helps them to slaughter cows for beef . Indian private dairy farms do the same to supply more beef... But many beef eaters in India concede that they eat beef because it`s the cheapest nonvegetarian food. If Indians don`t eat beef , processed beef is exported. The long term results of this will be disatsrous. Beloved believers, Lets educate these ultra super secularists. ijswamy Venkat <apexpreci2000 wrote: Hare Ram Organic farming and the centrality of the cow- part 2 I think this is something everyone need to educated uopn.
