USE OF GOMUTRA(cow's urine) IN BUDDHISM

 We all know that the medicinal use of Gomutra is described in the oldest Ayurvedic Texts. Acharyas such as Sushruta, Charaka etc.  have duly described its virtue religion and medicinal importance.  For Hindus, cow is the same as mother & they also use Gomutra Ark , though proven scientifically, Hindus are teased and tortured in the name of cow urine.  Fake neo- Buddhist organizations in India are also scorning Hindus and cows day by day over cow urine and cow.

These below assumptions are acceptable to Ambedker & Ambedkaraites. Assumptions :   •  Gita is composed after Buddha • Aryan Invasion theory is true  • Ramayana, Mahabharata &Smriti texts are composed after to buddha  CLAIM :  "The Bhagvat Gita discusses Bramha-Nirvana.The steps by which one reaches BramhaNirvana are stated by the Bhagvat Gita
