Bhopal, Apr 23: Bhopal constituency BJP candidate Sadhvi Pragya claimed mixture of cow products and cow urine cured her from breast cancer.
Speaking to media on April 23, Tuesday, she said owning cattle is a divine experience and expressed concerns on the way cows are being treated in India.
Claiming to be a living example that cow and its products have healing benefits, she said she consumed ‘panchgavya’ (mixture preparing five cow products such as cow dung, urine, milk, curd and ghee) along with Ayurvedic herbs, which cured her of cancer.
Sadhvi also said rubbing a cow from the back towards the neck will help blood pressure stay in control. "By rubbing the cow in a right way, the cow will be pleased and the person will experience joy. This is ‘Amrit’ (divine nectar) and is scientific. The best place to meditate is a cow shelter," she added.
Sadhvi Pragya filed her nomination on April 22 at an “auspicious time” based on "choghadiya", a Hindu Vedic calendar. She was accompanied by 11 priests who chanted mantras. However, she will file the papers formally on April 23, Tuesday.
The 48-year-old is an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. She is currently out on bail. In this election Pragya is making her electoral debut and is pitted against senior Congress leader and former chief minister Digvijay Singh. Bhopal, a BJP bastion since 1989, will vote on May 12.
