Gajanan Mishra - Autobiography of a Cow lyrics

They called me cow I am a sacred animal The air which touches my body Becomes pure they believe and it is true My dung my urine check epidemics Houses plastered with dung Are not so much affected As cemented houses My dung eliminates poison My urine is a best medicine For heart diseases, cancers Stomach diseases, asthma Gas is also prepared by my dung For cooking purposes The grains produced by my dung And urine as manure is pure And it maintains well the fertility Of the agricultural land I am gentle and I am a vegetarian My milk sharpens intellect And makes the nature mild In all religious rites I occupy an important place My milk churned bu*ter ghee dung Are used in rites of birth Tonsure and sacred thread My milk is used in preparing Sweet dishes I am offered as charity to Priest cla** Brahmans to Escape from hell Panchagavya is used in religious Ceremonies and it is a Mixture of my dung urine milk curd and ghee My ghee is used in religious sacrifices My milk and ghee are nourishing Lord Krishna is known as Gopala Lord Krishna staged a human play As a cowherd with bare feet Rear me if you like and be a Great man for the interest of all With longevity I am today being slaughtered daily And I know if this process continues I will disappear totally And my dung will not be there Without my dung lands will grow barren No production of corn and cotton And you O men will b deprived of The bare necessities of life Food water clothes and you will have to lead a miserable life My slaughter is the main cause of Famines droughts volcanoes and strives It is you to think my dear What to do and what not to do For the protection of a better world.
