Om NamO nArAyaNAya.

Recently, an Indian research group and an American firm have obtained a patent in the US for a drug prepared from Cow's urine. Mahatma Gandhi cleaned his own excretions routinely and expected many of his Ashram workers to do the same. Not only he did not feel repeleld, he thought and rightly so that it was equivalent of gold! 

It is part of the cycle as is said even in the giTa. /annA is from rain, and rain is from /yaJnA etc. Gandhiji  translated /yaJnA as labor. That included farm work as a major and noble form of living.

/nalam/tarum collai nAn kaNTukoNTEn

nArAyaNA ennum nAmam. 

/anpuTan Visu
