The price of cow urine purified
exceeded six times that of milk. It is the result of a campaign launched by a
number of Hindu holy men that guarantee the miraculous powers of the liquid.
According to them the urine is good for "Long life and cure many diseases,
including cancer and diabetes."
Rosan Gaudel, breeder and
producer (so far) of milk, says that: "It's hard to believe but true. The
price is six times greater than the traditional product. Many Hindus of the
area have started to drink it, and not only the sick even healthy ones,
convinced that it can protect them from future diseases. "
Yogi Naraharinath, Hindu leader,
confirms: "purify urine removing all forms of waste, so that we can sell
in the market. The demand for salt is an effective remedy. My followers are
happy to be able to drink, and for respect for the sacred cows and for the
healing powers. "
The octogenarian Nanimaya Poudel
said: "I drink a glass of urine each day. In our religion the cow is a
symbol of the goddess Laxmi, which brings well-being and wealth".
