In India, cow ghee is used in kitchens and at temples as well. It is used during poojas and in temples to light lamps. It fuels the fire and increases its intensity; when the diyas are lit with burning ghee they ward off all negative, evil influences and ignorance. Statues of Gods and Goddesses are cleansed with ghee.

 

This is how desi A2 cow ghee is an integral part of our lives in India.

 

• The spiritual aspect of A2 Cow ghee according to various scriptures:

 

Yajna according to Vedas is a pious step taken before starting a new life or any happy occasion. When ghee is offered to the Agni it’s supposed to be pious and is fundamental during all Yajnas.

 

Ghee finds its mention in Dharmasutra, Bhagavat Gita and Rig Veda as well. Hindu mythology makes a special mention of ghee- finding its source when Prajapati, the lord of creatures made it by churning it with his own hands and using it to create his own offspring.

 

So, ghee is at the crux of creation. Undoubtedly, ghee has religious significance, and is an important part of all Hindu ceremonies from birth, through life to death.

 

According to science, during the Yajna ghee helps in the rapid combustion of wood and keeps the fire alight. In Hindu culture its believed that Agni is the mouth of the Gods so, when you offer ghee into the Agni you are feeding the Gods – thus, scientifically and spiritually ghee is significant.

 

According to Gheranda Samhita a text on Yoga, when you begin Yoga without controlling the diet you will suffer from many diseases and won’t make any progress.

 

Patanjali Yoga Sutra was written by the sage Patanjali mentions sutras on the theory and practice of Yoga. It considers dietary guidelines necessary for all yogis. And ghee is an important part of the diet in the list of sattvic foods.

 

Ghee is sattvic food as opposed to rajasic and tamasic food that are considered as prohibited like chilies, garlic that irritate and stimulate you. This interferes with the subtle effect of Yoga.

 

Milk and ghee take care of your nervous system and prepare it to face any vigorous activity. While concluding or ending a fast the physical element of fire is increased by consuming ghee. Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a Sanskrit manual. It mentions that the sweet and nourishing food should be mixed with milk and ghee so as to nourish all dhatus making it suitable to eat and pleasing too. As we all know our grandmothers cooked tasty recipes especially sweets in ghee.

 

 

• The constituents of ghee:

 

Fat is the primary constituent of ghee. The grass-fed to the cows is rich in linoleic acid thus giving it anti-viral and anti-oxidant qualities.

Healthy Omega 3 fatty acids are present in ghee and are great for overall health. Ghee has high levels of Vitamin A, E, and D. Ghee also has butyric acid and does wonder for your gut. When you are allergic or sensitive to certain types of food, it’s most likely that your gut needs ghee.

 

 

• Significance of ghee according to Yoga and Ayurveda:

 

Yoga and Ayurveda believe in the body-mind connection. They both affect each other. Thus, it’s not possible to look at the effect of ghee on the body and mind separately.

 

The daily consumption of ghee helps Yogis to practice the strengthening of the mind and to keep the intellect pure. Yogic practices like meditation and pranayama create heat in our bodies. This heat is called ‘tapas’ – it is heat generated by certain yogic practices and burns off impurities and beyond just physical heat. It is the spiritual and mental heat.

 

Thus, people who practice yoga increase purifying heat in their body and mind by using ghee, just like ghee is offered to the fire to increase its intensity.
