Why You Should Use Sacred Cow Dung Cakes for Your Rituals

"गोमये वसते लक्ष्मीः गोमये वसते हरिः।
गोमय सर्वतीर्थानि वसन्ति सततं शुभम्॥"
"Gomaye vasate Lakshmi, Gomaye vasate Hari,
Gomaye sarvatirthani, vasanti satatam shubham."
Meaning
In cow dung resides Goddess Lakshmi (wealth) and Lord Hari (Vishnu). All sacred pilgrimages (tirthas) are present in cow dung, making it eternally auspicious and sacred.
At Gauhum, we honor the sacred traditions of India by offering cow dung cakes made from the dung of indigenous Indian desi cows. These cakes are specifically crafted for Agnihotra, Homa, and other Vedic rituals, ensuring purity, sustainability, and spiritual sanctity.

Cow dung, when burned in sacred fires, releases natural substances that purify the air, creating a balanced and harmonious atmosphere for rituals.
