Cow dung is sacred in Hinduism because it is the purified, life-supporting residue of a cosmic, nonviolent being whose body alchemically transforms sunlight, plants, and prāṇa into substances that sustain and purify life.
>>41452260 (OP) >Metaphysically speaking, what is the belief behind the sanctity of cow dung in Hinduism?
It is the grey zone of trying to transcend reality and master your mind by controling your bodily reactions.
In western countries we use fasting and the overcoming of hunger.
In india they use cowdung eating and overcoming aversion.

Which is strange because in vedic hinduism cattle were sacrificed to the gods to win favours
So i think a lot of the cow worship is from overcompensation
Essentially some guilt from the practise of sacrifice that made them swing hard the other way
>>41453986 Hm? The main gods of Hinduism are the Trimurti (Vishnu, Shiva, and Brahma). Most of India worships them. As for the gods of the Vedas, no one venerates them except for the brahmins. Vedism is dead.
