AN ORGANIC FARM IN INDIA: Manure, Life and the Bio-fuel Miracle of the Cow
I didn’t actually know how the bio-fuel system worked, and I still don’t, but I know a little more. Visiting this farm as a homestay was a grand experience in India. It also helped me understand the common sense of how and why, among a largely vegetarian populace, the cow came to be considered sacred. She is a profound symbol and means of sustainability, when treated with love and intelligence. At the very least she would have been, and may still be, vital. We also visited a small organic farm-based community at the end of our trip, Navadarshanam, which was gorgeous and slow, and the people lovely. The stunning music from Brijesh and Vivek is something I witnessed at a Christmas Eve concert in Fort Cochin, with, shockingly, only about twelve other people. It was jaw-dropping and inspiring I left the theatre in a heightened state of joy and wonder.

I WISH MORE PEOPLE THOUGHT THIS WAY .. IT IS IRONICALLY MORE PROFITABLE to BE GREEN .. WHY CAN’T GREEDY CAPITALISTS SEE THAT? THEY BLINDLY LOOK AT START UP COSTS AND ARE TOO LAZY DOING SOME SIMPLE MATH ..

India was eco-friendly before. The western culture influence has changed all age old practice.

i use a variety of aged manure in my garden in the u.s. i’ve found rabbit dung is best and area farmers are happy to donate. check craigslist in your area if don’t have livestock of your own. happy to see this video…a great source of energy!

Living here is so beautiful. Here respect is shown towards trees, animals, rivers, fire, air, water and earth.
….and also look at the cow thudder. They are so small and healthy. …Compare this with the bulky, bulky and bulky thudders of the cows in the United States. Poor cows in US suffer from the bovine growth injections their greedy owners inject in them to get more and more polluted milk which ends up in the homes of the unsuspected consumers.

That is amazing, how they can take something we consider distasteful (manure) and turn it into something useful. I also like his line about “we make the worms work for us, 24 hours a day:” What a great perspective! 🙂
