Cow milk, one of the panchamrits, celebrated in India until recently, is now a topic of debate.

Do we really
need to drink milk? The answer is easyyes, if you like it and no, if you dont. And know that I am only
Indian Cow Breed

Shree
Math
has
procured 24
rare
Indian
breed
cattle such
as Amrithmahal, Baragur,Dangi, Deoni, Gaoloa, Gir, Hallikaru, Hariana, Jawari, Kangayam, Kankre
j, Kasaragod,Khilari, Krishna, Malavi, Malenadu Gidda, Nagori, Nimari, Ongole, Rati, Sahiwal,
Sindhi, Tharparker, Umblachery, Vechur and rears them in eco friendly goshalas. Amruthadhara goshala
at Hosanagara, the largest centre of native cattle in India, attracts people from different parts of the world.
Shree Math also runs goshalas at Kaggalipura in Bangalore, Mysore, Muliya, Bajakudlu in Kerala and at
Mumbai.
Research and development on different aspects of cattle breeding, rearing and utilisation of cow products is
undertaken.
Distribution of native breed cows to farmers is another measure.
Shree Math manufactures and markets medicinal arka (cow urine) at Hosanagara, Kaggalipura, Mysore,
Perla
and
Muliya.
It manufactures and markets daily use products like soaps, shampoos, dhoopa and tooth powder out of cow
products.
It has established Gavya Chikithsa Kendras, and Ayurvedic nature cure centres which provide treatment to
ailments like cancer and arthritis.

talking about milk from shudh desi cows.

The Indian cow has an intestine thats unique in the animal world, more like the human intestineone of
the reasons it enjoys divine status. Also, her hump naturally equips her to pump more Vit D in her milk.
The milk is also rich in antioxidants, Vit B12, amino acids (building blocks of protein), good carbs and
essential fatty acids. Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani medicines have sung glories of Indian cow milk and milk
productsas a dietary supplement, cure for distending abdomen, replacement for mothers milk,
medicine for strong bones, memory....
Today, this valuable breed is threatened because the commercial varieties, Jersey and Holstein, are
excellent milk-producing machines. Marketers have figured that labels of Vitamin-enriched, organic,
free grazing etc can bring in Rs 80 upwards for a litre. This milk, however, lacks any of the health
benefits listed above. I hope that the government plan to protect the Indian cow addresses not just health
concerns caused by milk from commercial varietiesantibiotic resistance, early puberty etcbut will also
stop other countries from claiming patents on indigenous varieties of cows. Case in pointthe famous
Ongole bull.
Background Information:
Indigenous cattle play a vital role in livelihood security in our country. Majority of crop growing and livestock
rearing areas in India are dry land areas with low and medium input production systems which favor
conservation of animal genetic diversity. The local breeds of cattle are well known for their draft efficiency,
heat tolerance and resistance to diseases. Inherited resistance to (or tolerance of) disease and parasites in
livestock has always been a valued trait among stockowners. Today, many of them are disintegrating and
degenerating both in quality and quantity that has crumbled our genetic base. The net result is that a few of
the well-established breeds such as Punganur have already become extinct, and breeds like Krishna valley is
fast approaching the stage of extinction. Excellent draft breeds such as Amrithmahal, Hallikar and Khillari

etc. and good milch breeds like Sahiwal, Tharparkar and Red Sindhi have reduced in number as well as in
quality.
At a localized agro-climatic zone, loss of breed means loss of livelihood strategy and loss of indigenous
knowledge. The drought prone semi-arid regions are characterized by a major animal component, as
animals can exploit resources that cannot support intensive crop cultivation on a sustainable basis. As per
FAO records, one third of all Indian breeds of livestock and poultry are threatened with extinction and
require conservation. Maintenance and protection of remaining livestock breeds is mandated by UN
convention on Biological Diversities (CBD). This legal instrument emphasizes need for the conservation of
agro-biodiversity in the surroundings, essential to support the system. It also emphasizes active
involvement of indigenous communities, their knowledge and active participation in conservation. But so far
no initiatives are visible in large scale and organizations that maintain domestic animals biodiversity are only
now beginning exploration. Experiences with truly community-based approaches to the conservation of local
livestock breeds are also lacking.
Understanding the situation and problem, Shrimad Jagadguru Shankaracharya Shri Shri Raghaveswara
Bharathi Swamiji has taken up the programme of preservation, improvement, conservation, in depth study
and research on the desi cattle and their products in the name of Khamadugha. Farmers friend Hallikar
cattle, the dwarf cattle of Western Ghats having high resistance to many diseases Malnad Gidda, well suited
breed for black cotton soil with good milk yield Krishna Valley pride of Andhra Pradesh Ongole, dual
purpose breed Deoni, famous milk breed of Gujarath Gir, world famous war -horse like looking
Amrithmahal, heaviest breed Kankrej, best milch breed from Punjab Sahiwal, Rati from Rajasthan and
many more breeds of indigenous cattle are found in the Amruthadhara Goshala at Ramachandrapura Math,
Hosanagara, Shimoga District, Karnataka, India and also at Kaggalipura, Bangalore. Many more Goshala are
in the offing for the cause of desi cattle. The products of desi cows viz arkha (cow urine distil), soap from
cow dung, toothpaste, shampoo etc are also made and distributed at nominal cost.

Deshi cows were protected and bred for pedigree purpose (to maintain original
breeds in different climatic situation)
In every aspect, the cow is beneficial to man - the milk provides the required
nutrition to the entire family, natural fertilisers and pesticides are manufactured from
deshi cow dung. Deshi cow urine or Go-mutra is distilled for Ayurvedic medicinal
purposes.
Cow dung is also used to line the floor and walls of buildings owing to its
insect repellent properties.
In villages, in the cold weather, cow dung is used to line the walls of
houses as a thermal insulator.
The dung is used for biogas and to generate electricity and heat.
The gas is a rich source of methane and is used in Rural areas of India to
provide a renewable and stable source of electricity.
Revert to traditional, successful, low-cost farming methods,
Saving farmers from a life of hardship and debt.
One cow is able to provide food to 410,440 people during her life time,
while her meat is sufficient for only 80 people.
One cow is sufficient to manure unto 30 acres of land

HOW TO IMPLEMENT: DONATE A COW CONCEPT BE PROMOTED

To start with establish a goshalas of minimum 10 cows of Deshi (Local) breeds with one
breeding bull

Deshi cow breeding farm should be developed

Donate a cow the concept may be used for establishing a goshalas. (Donation
can be in the form of cow, fodder, concentrates, shelter for the cow, drinking water for
the cow, etc.)
Organic fodder should be grown to get organic milk
Organic milk can be sold at premium price
Cow dung, urine can be used for making Jeewamrit and organic pesticides.

TENTATIVE ECONOMICS: UNIT OF 10 COWS ( AN EXAMPLE OF

GOUSALA AT NAGPUR, MAHARASHTRA, SRI KULKARNI, AOL
TEACHER, MOB: 09960148880)

Expenditure per cow is Rs 150/ day

Each cow gives 10 liters of milk
Organic milk is sold at Rs. 30/ ltr
Total Milk yield be 10 X 10 = 100 liters
Total income will be 100 X 30 = Rs.3000
Total expenditure will be 10 X 150 = Rs.1500
Net profit will be Rs 1500
At least Rs. 1000 per day will be net income.

COWS: The majority of the cows in the GAUSHALA have been purchased at token prices and
just 5 to 6 cows are presently milching. The present breeds are mix breeds while the male cow
is of the local breed, not even pure bred. My suggestion is to introduce a male cow of pure GIR
breed, and of one and a half years of age. This in turn will give pure breed of GIR in the third or
fourth generation. The purpose of doing this is that the GIR breed are the most matured breed
and capable of adapting all climatic conditions and geographic locations. This will ensure that
the medication cost will be least in the future as the GIR breed is very hardy.
The medicinal values of the cowdung and urine of the GIR breed will be of immense value.
VEGETATION: The land can be used to grow grass for grazing with interplanted herbs such as
Ashwagandha, etc. It is vital to encourage biodiversity by planting trees which fits into the local
ecology. The Banyan tree, Peepal, Sag wood, neem send roots deep and capable of
penetrating hard soil underground.
DUNG: I found the dung getting self ignited and burned, indicating polluted food being fed to
the cows and a prevailing high temperature. Preferably, the cows should be consuming food
of their choice and at their leisure, and quantum decided by them. I found them being fed with
protein in the form of dals and corn, blended with husk. They were also being fed with jaggery
which must be stopped. A teaspoon of organic coconut oil can be fed to the milching cows to
increase milk production.

INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is the backbone of National Economy. Every one of us is dependent on
Agriculture. The high-tech agrotechnolgy like fertiliser, pesticides, weedicides, hybrid
seeds and genetically modified seeds is causing harm to the naturally existing agro
ecology/ biodiversity. The soil, water, air is polluted because of these inputs. Health
hazards are increased because of food produced by use of synthetic inputs. The present
economic development is the root cause of global warming. The carbon dioxide level is
increasing day by day. We need to get focus back on agriculture which is the primary
industry. The earth has plenty for everyone, only one has to manage its resources well.
In view of this, The Art of Living through the Sri Sri Institute of Agricultural Sciences &
Technology trust has taken the program of Agricultural Development which will be
economic, sustainable and ecofriendly. The trust has undertaken the following
programs.

Chemical free Farming (Zero Budget Natural Farming)

Since ancient time the agriculture was totally organic, no use of any chemicals. The soil
is the medium for crop production. It is a life to plant and animal kingdom. Human life is
totally dependent on the soil. It contains useful bacteria and fungi. These are killed by
use of Chemical fertilisers and the soil is becoming infertile. The soil productivity is the
function of carbon content and the amount of humus. The ideal level of carbon content
in the soil is 1%. Our soils are having carbon to the extent of 0.2 to 0.3%. In order to
increase the carbon percentage n the soil and amount of humus one has to practice
Natural farming or organic farming. The ideal soil has following important
characteristics.

Porosity
It is achieved through high amount of humus.

Carbon content
The soil should have high organic matter.

High count of bacteria and fungi.

If this is achieved the soil will hold adequate moisture with high carbon content and the
productivity of the soil will be increased.

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE IDEAL SOIL CONDITIONS?

This can be achieved by practicing following methods.

Conserve The Soil

Do not allow to flow the soil particles by rain water. Practice contour cultivation (sowing
along the contour ).

Use Of Mulch
Use crop residues, stubbles, weeds etc as mulch. Put this mulch in between the two
crop rows, to avoid evaporation losses and increase the indigenous earth warms in the
soil. This will also help to increase the humus content.

Practice Intercropping
Sowing leguminous crops like moong, udad, tur, gram, peas in between the two rows of
main crop. The leguminous crop fixes nitrogen in the nodules on the roots, from the
atmosphere. And make available to the main crop. This also improves the soil
productivity.

Use Of Jeewamrit
Use Of Beejamrit
Use Of Gomutra, Neem Extract, Plant Extract To Control Pest And
Diseases.

CHEMICAL FREE FARMING (TO SAVE PLANET EARTH)

We have to rejuvenate this planet once again; your job is no less than of any Doctor,
who takes off disease from the body of the person. This Earth is filled now with entire
poisonous things. We have to save the planet earth and you have taken this wonderful
job on your hand. His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar

ZERO BUDGET NATURAL FARMING

Subhash Palekars Zero Budget Natural Farming is a unique method of farming which
requires absolutely no monetary investment for purchase of key inputs like seeds,
fertilizers and plant protection chemicals from the market. The farmer can grow hardy

local varieties of crops without application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Since, it
is zero budget farming no institutional credit would be required and dependence on
hired labour is also reduced. All that the system requires is native breed of cattle (Desi
Cow) which in any case forms an integral part of farming families in rural areas. It is
claimed that one cow is sufficient to take up this method of farming on thirty
acres of land.
Salient Features of Zero Budget Natural Farming
In this system of farming
No monetary investment is required for purchase of seeds, fertilizers and plant
protection chemicals from the market.
The farmer can produce native seeds or he may use seeds that are available with
other farmers.
Dependence on hired labour is also reduced.
To make the farmer self-reliant so that he is freed from the clutches of money
lenders and market dispensed high cost inputs.
Principles of zero budgets Natural farming: It is based on four important farming
practices

Bijamrut

Seed Treatment with Bijamrutha Composition:

Water- 20 litres
Desi cow dung- 5 kg
Desi cow urine -5 Litres
One handful of soil from the surface of field
Lime- 50 gram

How to Prepare Bijamrita

Take 20 ltr of water, 5 Kg Local Cow Dung, 5 liter Local Cow Urine, 50 Gram Lime
& Handful soil from the bund of the farm
Take 5 Kg Local Cow Dung in a cloth and bind it by tape. Dip this in the 20 Liter
water up to 12 hours.
Take one liter water and add 50 gm lime in it, let it stabilise for a night
Then next morning, squeeze this bundle of the cow dung in that water thrice
continuously, so that all essence of cow dung will accumulate in that water.
Then add a handful of soil in that water solution and stir it well.
Then add 5 liter Local cow urine or human urine in that solution & add the lime
water and stir it well.
Now Bijamrita is ready to treat the seeds

How to use Bijamrita

Add Bijamrita on the spread seeds of any crops, treat these seeds well by hands, dry it
well in shade and use for sowing

Jivamrut

It is a mixture of cow dung, cow urine, Jaggery, flour of pulses & soil from the
farm bund.
The material is to be mixed in 200 liter of water. The mixture is allowed to ferment for
48 hours. The mixer should be stirred by a wooden stick daily twice, morning and
evening The solution will contain billions and billons of useful bacteria. The ready
solution is to be applied to the crops through irrigation water or directly to the crops. It
can be applied through drip irrigation with the help of ventury (Filtration equipment).
This application of Jiwamrita helps to improve the soil health. Nutrient availability to
the crops is increased, yield is increased. This mixture is to be given on every fortnight.

How to Prepare Jiwamrita

Take 200 liter of Water in a barrel.
Take 10 Kg Local Cow Dung and 5 to 10 liter cow urine and add it in the water.
Then add 2 Kg Jaggery, 2 Kg Pulses flour & handful soil from the bund of the farm
in it.

Then stir the solution well & keep it to ferment for 48 hours in the shade. Now
Jiwamrita is ready for application.

Jiwamrita Application
Apply the Jiwamrita to the crops with each cycle of Irrigation water OR directly to the
crops.

Jiwamrita Spray
Spray 10% filtered Jiwamrita on the crops (10 ltrs of Jiwamrita in 100 ltrs of water)

Ghan-Jiwamrita
Take 100 Kg Local Cow Dung, 2 Kg Jaggery, 2 Kg Pulses flour, Handful soil from the
bund. Then mix it well by adding required quantities of Cow Urine to make it semi -solid.
Then spread it & keep it in the shade for drying. Afterwards make its powder by hand &
apply to the crops in the proportion of 100 Kg FYM & 10 Kg Ghan-Jiwamrita

Mulching
There are 3 types of mulching

Soil Mulching
Straw Mulching
Live Mulching
Waaphasa
Mixed Cropping and Crop Rotation

Plant Protection
In the event of outbreak of insects and diseases the farmer can himself prepare home
made pesticides and use it on the crops.
