#SaveDesiCow
Drinking Desi Cow milk is better than milk from exotic breeds and here is why👇🏻
A2 cows are the earlier breeds of cows like the desi Indian cows or the African cows that produce an amino acid called Proline in milk. In the new hybrid breeds, the proline amino acid gets converted to Histidine due to alteration of genes over the years. A1 cows include breeds like Holstein Friesian, brown swiss, Ayrshire etc.

’33 Crore Gods’ is a completely misinterpreted fact due to wrong translation of Vedic Sanskrit by certain foreign 'scholars'.
The term ‘trayastrimsati koti’ mentioned in Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Satapatha-brahmana, is rightly translated as 33 Gods. The term koti in Sanskrit has two meaning, one is ‘type’ and the other is Crore.
So, somewhere in translation, they missed the basic fact that Sanatana Dharma/Hinduism has 33 Supreme Gods and not 33 Crore Gods.
