Hyderabad: Firewood logs made from cow dung will be used for ‘Yagnam’ to be performed during the 12-day programme to unveil the 216-feet tall Statue of Equality (statue of Ramanujacharya) at Chinna Jeeyar Swami Ashram by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 5, 2022, said Chinna Jeeyar Swami, while addressing a gathering of 300 plus cow lovers at the inauguration of Jeeyar Swami Dhyan Foundation Gaushala.
“We will need 4.5 lakh cow dung logs and have commenced making these logs already. They are being made at eight different places in Haryana and Rajasthan. If such a facility is available locally, we will also utilise it. Cow dung logs are the best alternatives to coal, gas and are most environmentally friendly. Even the smoke emitted as a result of burning such logs also does so much good for the health,” he said.
Describing the collaboration with Chinna Jeeyar Swami for the Gaushala as unique, Dhyan Foundation said more Gaushalas will be opened to rehabilitate the cattle rescued from traffickers and illegal slaughterhouses. For the inauguration, four trucks loads of rescued cows were brought to the Gaushala which can house over 150 cows. The foundation for the Gaushala was laid on September 19 and the construction was completed in a record time of little over a month.
