Raghaveshwara Bharati Swamy of Ramachandrapur Mutt has urged young entrepreneurs to set up factories that use cow products as raw materials.

“Units making milk products are common. But we need to set up units that process cattle urine and dung to prepare byproducts,” he told a group of youth in Bidar on Friday. He was speaking at a meeting of residents of Bidar as part of Mangal Go Yatre.

“Cattle urine is used in farming, health and fashion industries. It sells for Rs. 30 to Rs. 35 per litre. By setting up such units, we can not only produce such rare units, but also prevent old cows being taken to the slaughter house. While only cows and buffaloes give milk, all varieties of cattle yield urine. Milk dairies require capital and current expenses, while urine producing centres require very little capital,” he said.

Radiation

According to him, just a five gram of native cow dung could stop radiation from mobile phones. This way, the ill effects of mobile radiation can be reduced. Even the Indian Army is working on this,” the seer said.

He urged young people to convince farmers not to sell old cows.

“We should tell them that keeping animals is more profitable than killing them. Young people should also create awareness about reducing the usage of plastic,” he said.

The mutt will work with non-governmental organisations to set up cow banks in all districts, he said.

Shivayogeshwar Swamy of Basava Mukti Mandir was present.
