Coke has a rival: RSS's cow urine cola

Cow urine

Dehradun The RSS has found something to give the popular colas and cold drinks a run for their money: bovine urine. The Sangh's Cow Protection Department is planning to produce a soft drink with this magic ingredient as base, and believes it will sweep the market.

The head of the Hardwar-based department, Om Prakash, said: "We refer to gau ark (cow urine) as gau jal (cow water) as it has immense potential to cure various diseases. We have developed a soft drink formula with gau jal as the base and it has been sent to a laboratory at Lucknow for testing."

Once the tests show positive results, he added, the department will think about its packaging, preservation and marketing.

While the RSS is at the task alone right now, once the drink is ready to be taken to the market, the Cow Protection Department might seek the help of the Uttarakhand Government in the operations.

"It will be a revolution of sorts. The acceptance of cow urine as a potent medicine is increasing day by day and once it comes as a cold drink, its demand will definitely increase," Prakash claimed.

Stating that several colas are harmful to the extent that they can be substituted for pesticides, he asserted that their soft drink with cow urine will not only be natural but cost-effective too. "In addition to this, it will prove and justify the high stature accorded to a cow in Indian culture."

Cow urine, in fact, ranks quite high on the RSS list of priorities. "We discuss its importance at various meetings and public programmes. We have also been circulating pamphlets about its medicinal value," said Om Prakash, who has been actively involved in the task of cow protection and promoting bovine urine for the last four decades.

He names products ranging from toothpaste, shampoo, soap, face powder and shaving lotion to balm, biscuits, incense sticks, phenyl, mosquito coils and distemper which are being made from cow urine and cow dung.

He asserts that tiles made up of cow dung have been found to be fire - and water-resistant and can ward off radiation.

rss cow urine formula by pritish on 26 Feb 2009

i will look this subject from more than one dimension first that this should not be related with any religious sentiments then we have to look it in a broad sense we should remember that any thing in this world is made up of molecules and compounds as the cow urine too so it should be looked as any other chemical. we have long known that how cow dung has been used as fertilizer,coating of mud houses and it has been proved that it has insulation, fertilizer,anti micro organism properties etc. so why not cow urine can have such property and it is well known that any food product cannot be launched without proper certification hence we should be much bothered that how can cow urine be used as cold drinks or else rather we should leave that matter to progress and see if something beneficial comes out of it. after all at last its our private decision to consume a particular thing or not. and also that the investment is totally their so why should we bother ourselves now.

golden? by Shiv on 24 Feb 2009

All the hater don't see the way research on cow urine is going to benefit us.I think it is better that they are spending money on something which is not going to hurt our country. Think about it, they could have spent this money in spreading their ideology or some other destructive campaign.They will come up with this product, will spend a lot of money and it is up to people to buy it or not. One thing we need to be careful about is that there is no government money spent on doing this. Can anyone confirm that my tax money is not spent on making cow pee taste better ... please?

yes it is obvious by abhishek on 12 Feb 2009

for all the people who are making fun of our ancient research would going to admit its medicinal value in near future.It is said to find that the responses from people are not in good spirit. No one is asking them to buy this product, if it has something beneficial then it will sell itself, if not then who will buy it. You may have lots of objection on various issues that rss put forth and I do have, but that does not mean that we should make fun of our ancient culture. I am not a RSS member or fan, but if they are presenting something scientifically proved then what is the problem .Even Pantjali Yog Pharmacy Samiti in itself is sourcing cow urine from farmers from Utrakhand and making medicines from it. But actually our frame of mind has become so narrow one sided and biased that we just cant appreciate our heritage till it is verified by some foreigners. We all know that lot has been said by people, scientists and medical practitioners but Yog has shown what it can done.

Hindu Shakti by Suhas Vaman Sane on 12 Feb 2009

This will be a good option to counter the increasing spread of the cola drinks which increase the risk of cancer in human beings. Only uneducated and uncultured people will laugh at this and make dubious jokes; I support the concept ; but should be tested and demonstrated well before launch. "VANDE MATARAM"

LOL by Angry Young Man on 12 Feb 2009

Surprisingly, I don't find this news in any of the major dailies.The Padma for Shekhar Kapoor is indeed doing wonders! Free license to tarnish RSS et al!!

Cow Cola by Reginald Massey on 11 Feb 2009

Well, well, what next? Coca Cola and Pepsi please take note. Thousands of RSS volunteers will soon be lining up to buy Cow Cola and other goodies made from Mother Cow's curative urine.

cow cola by nandakumar chandran on 11 Feb 2009

as schopenhauer the german philosopher said : a new theory is first condemned, then ridiculed, then fought aggressively and then finally accepted as self evident! so who knows! and btw contrary to the opinion of our "educated" types, there are actually a lot of traditional cures which use methods which would make your eye pop - but still highly popular because of their effectiveness in rural india.

cow cola by Din sharman on 11 Feb 2009

Whee does RSS come in the picture?Why do these people always do outlandish things and get laughed at?

Good effort by Nanda on 11 Feb 2009

Good effort. Most indian hindus are not even aware that their parents and grand parents were drinking cow urine. no need to mention about their knowledge about Hinduism, its history and tradition So don't worry about what they say.My wishes for this effort to succeed

Is it a secular, is issue or a medical one, or religious by Sanjay on 11 Feb 2009

Cow being pure and giving some of the finest food available to mankind: milk, cheese, butter,ghee , ice cream, sweets, making human race stronger for not to mention cow dung useful as fertilizer and many other village uses, include source of natural gas).Now it comes to cow urine its health benefit or not should be treated medically not to disparage any religion because I doubt cow urine is religious but a health issue, and should be limited as such and discuss the benefits of it as a treatment to cancer, weakness and many disease. As in medical profession if one looks at what things are used to make medicines, from bones to extracts of blood, growth of vaccines, one will think cow urine is not extreme as some extremist would say, and if that cow urine is the only thing that might help them I will say they to will drink happily to save themselves. Therefor look as medical angle not as a joke because if we go thought detail how medicines/vaccines are produced many questions arise?

I agree with you Whole heartedly. And I am American. :-D

What an illogical argument by PJ on 11 Feb 2009

Dont have illogical blind Hatred.Even some tooth pastes have animal bone powder.Now, does brushing your teeth take you to Medeival ages??

Absurd by Nilesh Tendulkar on 11 Feb 2009

What can you say - damn stupidity. These RSS GOONS like the Talibans of Afghan/Pakistan are taking us back to Medieval era. Next they will ask people to dwell in caves and eat cow-dung? And for people who are arguing here for supporting RSS, I think they surely need to refer to Mental Expert or just consume their own Cola before penning their absurd comments.

Are you nuts? by PJ on 11 Feb 2009

Do u know of its medicinal properties?First of all the healine itself is wrong , intention is making it provocative.Second I think you have no brains and ability to think.

Traditional Medicine by Suresh Kumar on 11 Feb 2009

Hats off to the sickular English media. Why did Indian Express made it such a sensational issue, and like fools people are commenting without knowing anything about the medicinal property of cow urine. Our tradition taught us (and it doesn't need any modern scientific tests) that cow urine has medicinal property and even today in many part of India it is being used in various ayurvedic medicines especially for treatment of skin diseases. If the same idea has come from a western country the Mecaulayists would have accepted it wholeheartedly and blabbered on its great values. What a pity - we Indians (Hindus) are a really servile lot. A great culture and religion is being tampered with in front of our own eyes by these secularists and we are watching helplessly.

A better medicing by Om Prakash on 14 Feb 2009

Human Urine ! People drink it all the time and swear by its healing properties. Why not just package human urine ? Cheaper to make, one can make their own drink ! Don't even bother going for a cow. Feeling tired ? Thirsty ? Fatigued ? Solution is just a zipper away ! Go and get yours now.
