'Havan' of cow dung cake can keep house sanitised for 12 hours MP minister

    Indore, Mar 7 (PTI) Madhya Pradesh Culture Minister
Usha Thakur on Sunday stressed the need for adopting Vedic
lifestyle for protection against coronavirus, and claimed that
'havan' (ritual burning) of a cow dung cake can keep a house
sanitised for 12 hours.
    She was speaking during a function at the Indore Press
Club.
    "In order to combat the COVID-19 outbreak, Vedic
lifestyle has its own role to play along with allopathy. The
pandemic has sent out a message that we have to return to the
Vedic lifestyle," Thakur said.
    "Mix ghee (clarified butter) made out of cow milk with
rice. If you add this mixture on a cow dung cake during havans
at the time of sunrise and sunset, then your place would
remain sanitised for 12 hours," she added.
    She said that her advice may appear strange to people,
but this tip to keep houses sanitised was not imaginary.
    "This is science...," she claimed. PTI HWP LAL
