Why do Hindu's drink cow' urine and sprinkle on their food?

Question

I have been to many hindu worship places, they sprinkle cow's urine on food before they served to others. Also I saw on TV that hindus were drinking rats left over milk, and also hindu's think that monkey and cow and snake and other animals are their gods and goddess. Is is true that hindu make their own god with clay and then do their pray to them, how can the listen or answer. What kind of religion is this in 21st century.

Answer 1

It is all misconception....and a very cheap way to malign a beautiful relgion

What ever indian do cant be blamed on hinduism. Show me about this in any of our scriptures (upanishadas, gita)

Abut idols, we have already written much...go read old answers because i cant repeat them for a kid here

(Your ID tells us what religion you are and your insulting question confirms your religion)

Answer 2

Hinduism preaches filthiness. Its a religion based on superstition.

Answer 3

I heard approximately sprinkling in residences and situation of works however under no circumstances noticed someone consuming it. Even people who worship and recommend cow as goddess or Holy and sacred are under no circumstances proven in media consuming it.

Answer 4

Cow urine therapy



THE U.S. Patent Office (USPTO) grants thousands of patents every week, and yet, the U.S. Patent, 6410059, titled "Pharmaceutical Compositions containing Cow urine Distillate and An Antibiotic" issued to S.P.S. Kanuja and 13 others and assigned to the Council of Scientific And Industrial Research (CSIR), attracted global attention. The Minister For Science And Technology, Government of India, at a Press Conference, said that the U.S. Patent made him realise that all traditional practices from Indian Systems of Medicine have a strong scientific base.

Traditional medicines , whether from Ayurveda or Siddha are based on classical texts and systems, practices and products handed down over generations going back to Charak, Sushrutha, Vagabhatta, the Ashtangahridaya and the Samhitas.

Combining the so-called cow urine distillate (the term distillate itself is a misnomer, since the material used is the residue, not the distillate), with antibiotics, is no exception. Combining this material in liquid or lyophilised powder form with modern drugs is irrational, since we do not know anything about the relative bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of the components. In-vitro experiments alone have little relevance, since activity in-vivo, largely depends on plasma levels, which in turn are related to serum binding properties and absorption. The bio-enhancers known today, including Piperine, generally affect metabolising enzymes which are specific and which are stimulated (when the metabolite is the active moiety) or inhibited (when the intact molecule is the active species). It is not to say that mammalian urine does not contain useful constituents; in fact ACTH was isolated from pregnant female urine, other constituents include various enzymes, amino acids and Erythropoetin.

A statement has been made that the grant of a U.S. Patent has given the ultimate stamp of approval for Indian Systems of Medicine and vindicates them, since they have been tested by modern scientific methods. The grant of a U.S. Patent or any other patent, for that matter, does not guarantee the validity of the scientific evidence presented or even the validity of the patent itself. That is the reason why the validity of a patent can be challenged at any time during the entire life of the patent. We, ourselves have the experience of the Turmeric patent revoked through efforts of CSIR.

While we do need to take into account the results of experiments carried out on cow urine `distillate', neither the reported experiments nor the grant of the U.S. patent vindicates the use of cow urine as a bio-enhancer. Much more needs to be done before we can even consider its potential utility. In the meanwhile, care should be taken to see that the results published or the patent granted do not lead to proliferation of quack medicine using cow urine, claiming legitimacy from the traditional or modern systems of medicine, let alone the U.S. patent.

Answer 6

You are grossly misinformed about the majority of what you have written. If you have been to any hindu temples or services, you would have learned so much about this beautiful and deeply respectful religion. Like said above, read past questions about the whole "animal" and "idol" worship... you are uneducated about that as well. Although it seems a lot to ask of in this forum, go out and learn something instead of unwarrantably bashing it.

Answer 7

Some pretty good arguments.

Answer 8

I dont believe youve actually been to any Hindu worship places.

And they don't worship animals as animals, they worship manifestations of the spirit.

Your religion isn't any better.

Just go and grow up, mate.

Answer 9

Not sure

Answer 10

You could ask the last question of any religion in the 21st century.

As for the rest, they probably just do what their holy book tells them to. It saves thinking.
