On the auspicious occasion of Shivratri no cows milk will be used for worship at this temple. Instead only non-dairy milk will be used. We want all other temples to give up using milk as it comes from gross cruelty to cows.
High concentrate feed to get maximum milk from the cow causes the swelling of the cows udders and other problems like arthritis. The cow is artificially impregnated and the calf is separated from the mother causing it great suffering. After 3 pregnancies the cow is worn out and sent for slaughter.
Imagine offering the milk to Lord Shiva that comes from so much suffering. We invite temples to email us their commitment to stop using cows milk in all worship rituals.
