theweek | Cow dung, cow urine and yagya to combat coronavirus says Hindutva group chief. Chakrapani is propagating the use of loban for the killing of ‘negative bacteria’.
A completely home-grown cure for the coronavirus is being propagated by a Hindutva group which has garnered attention of late.
The cure— propagated by Chakrapani Maharaj, national president of the
Akhil Bharti Hindu Mahasabha calls for a ban on beef sale throughout
the country with immediate effect. “All slaughter-houses must be
immediately shut down and in fact, meat of all kind should be avoided”,
he said.
The other components of the ‘cure’ consist of the burning of gum resin (loban) set on cow dung. The gum resin must come from the Indian bdellium tree (common names include gugal, gugul, or Mukul myrrh).
"The ensuing smoke from this process should be spread through every
room of one’s home with chants of 'Om Namah Shivay', the Gayatri Mantra
or the Mahamritunjaya chant," he added.
Loban is known for its medical fumigation properties. However,
Chakrapani is propagating its use for the killing of ‘negative
bacteria’. “Its fragrance will ensure positive energy in homes”, he
said.
He further adds that instead of lighting incense sticks at homes, Hindus must convert to lighting loban. In addition, the must conduct havan (offering of prayers in front of a fire) regularly.
“I am already performing havans for the well being of the country. This will save the entire world”, he told THE WEEK.
