Come Forward And Help Jaideep To Distribute Cow Dung Logs For Funeral Purpose For The People Who Are In Need

"Millions of Hindus worship and revere cows. It is one of the animals which is considered sacred in Hinduism. From the Mother to the Goddess, a cow is very auspicious and holds a special significance in Hinduism. Cows are held in a superior position in Hinduism as it is one of the animals which have been mentioned in Puranas and mythological stories as well. We cannot forget the white cow that stood behind Lord Diety. Lord Diety was a cow herder so cows are considered very holy in the Hindu religion. However, even cow dung is considered holy and auspicious in Hinduism.

During the ancient times in the Hindu religion, the last rites of the human body were performed using cow dung cakes, however, with changing times people started using wood for cremation. People are realizing the importance of trees in the environment and have begun using artificial wood made of cow dung to cremate their loved ones in an environment-friendly manner. 60 million trees are burned during cremation every year in India causing air pollution and generating large quantities of ash which are later thrown into rivers. Cow dung timber or cow dung timber would protect lakhs of trees from being cut thus protecting the environment. Since childhood, I saw that his body was cremated using wooden logs whenever a person died. To cremate one body, hundreds of logs were needed for which at least three twenty-year-old trees were cut. Apart from destroying the greenery, these logs made of wood added to air pollution and their ashes being discharged into water bodies. By planting one tree, we don't get the right to cut down other trees. Hence, it is good to utilize something that can be used naturally without causing pollution and religious disputes.

The cow dung timber could be used as a substitute for wooden logs. Apart from managing cow dung at goshalas, it will also make goshalas self-reliant for funds. Cow dung timber would provide employment and is economically friendly as well. Densified cow dung timber gives better C.V.(Calorific Value).

Cow dung timber would be the first timber made of cow dung. Till now thousands of trees have been sacrificed to get wooden logs. We require approx 400 kgs of wood for the funeral, but if we use cow dung logs, we require 250 kgs. According to a CNN report, 50-60 million trees are burned during cremation every year in India. This Cow dung timber would provide logs in a natural way while reducing air and water pollution. Burning cow dung logs also generate 43.9 percent less particulate matter, 55.18 percent less sulfur dioxide, and 24.8 percent less carbon monoxide as compared to wooden logs, and overall, causes 35 percent less air pollution than if wooden logs were used. (Ref: dr Yogen Saxena scientist Bhopal).

It would also reduce the burning time of the pyre. Indian people mostly prefer traditional products for cremation e.g. wooden logs and dried cow dung logs. Compared to firewood and other alternatives, cremation using cow dung logs cost less." We plan to procure cow dung wooden logs and create a cowdung wooden log bank where we will store and distribute logs to poor people Initial target is cow dung logs 250kgs. For every funeral we collect documents like white ration card( eligibility) and documented proof. We are trying with harishchandra foundation for this purpose.
