[Assam] Chena Bakhar- the encient khar barud and medicine of Assam!

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Dear Umesh,
  It is always universal to mis quote things away from the mainstream.Like how Assam is for rest of India and India for rest of the world.Wrong things got faster publicity.But the scientific value is merely understood by these circulating people.
  See if remember what Gandhiji said about goat milk as well Hazarat Mohammed.
  Anyway to talk about Chena bakhar,I was saying the scientific parts of them Assam kings, who was narrated as highly un educated as well the people-Praja.Thousands of year ago how they made gun powder in tonnes to fire and to make meedicine of it! None did studied this so far I know.The goat urine is not direct one.Its like how a 5-15 yrs old matured XXX Rum is made of.If one sees how Rum is made of, he/they will never drink it again.Same way the Chena Bakhar making.It takes years- and the sticky soil is filtered, evaporated cleaned etc.....
  Ok, I will collect from home in my next trip and airmail to you(Provided US security allow it)

  Bikash-da,

Some school age students once asked me US - do Hindus have to drink cow urine as part of their rituals. I replied no - though Indians in rural areas do use cow dung to plaster their houses - supposed to keep insects away and use cow dung patties as fuel. Ofcourse, I mentioned that their is a drink which contains milk and cow urine etc - five elements of the cow (excpet meat ofcourse) which a Brahmin has to take as a sip - (Panchamrit ??) when going for a ceremony - Janeoo. I never went thru the casteist ceremony - though whoever gets married has to go for it.

Now your goat-urine medicine seems like that - why not go for Potassium Nitrate crystals from checmical factories? (if approved by the govt). 

Umesh
