Cow Shit Has Many Uses in HinduismA little-known shloka says that every Deity dwells in a different part of the cow, making her as holy as the Deities themselves. According to the Mahabharata, Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity, dwells in the cow's dung, giving it spiritual value in Hinduism. Through the centuries, many practical uses for cow dung, as well as urine, have been discovered.
The floor where havanas are performed is traditionally coated with cow dung and sprinkled with cow urine, the fire is ignited with dried cow dung, and no such ceremony is said to be complete without a five-part offering containing cow dung and urine. Cow dung is also used to prepare vibhuti (holy ash) and plays a role in a variety of religious rituals, such as Lakshmi Puja (a trail of cow-dung plaster invites Her from the main door of the house to the shrine room where She is invoked for Her blessings), Govardhan Puja (worship is performed on a mound of cow dung representing Govardhan Hill for prosperity and fertility of the land) and countless other festivals of nearly every tradition throughout India.
