BAARA MAAS SHETI CHAARA- “Go-grass”.

 Baar maas means 12 months. It is the Baar maas “Go-grass” (A morsel of food for the cow) farming fodder plan.

Under this scheme, Sharddhavan people in urban areas, where water is available in abundance, grow “grass” in their houses and in open spaces. It is possible to have a yield of sugarcane, wheat,rice and maize between 3 to 4 times a year. 

The grass so collected is sent to farmers in the drought stricken areas to feed their cattle. Till date truckloads of grass have been distributed through  Pune centre in Purander taluka. 

 The moment we see a cow on the road we bow before her, touching her tail, we also do namaskaar. On Mondays, in the holy month of Shravan ,We keep stuffing the cow though their stomachs tight and full.We just refuse to give up the idea that we earn ‘punya’ by feeding the cow. Instead of that, why don’t we give a thought to the farmer who is the main support, the pillar and who depends entirely on this animal? 

It is the farmer who provides us with food. So this is our responsibility to grow grass to feed their animals. All of us can easily grow this grass. We do not need large pieces of land for that. We can grow it in our own chawls and flats.For this we can use  Sugarcane, wheat, rice and maize. 

We peel out the skin of the cane and throw it away. The nodes can be kept in a tray of water. They sprout to give the main cane along with the leaves. Once they grow as much as two feet, they are the best food for cattle.

 I sow grains of wheat in a plate and then immerse them in the water..

We can do this round the year, if we sow wheat, rice or maize in one or may be two plates, the grown sapling will be collected by SSAUT (Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Trust) organization. 
  SSAUT now have two Tempos specially to transport these, free of cost, for the cattle in the famine struck areas.

If we want to feed the cow, let’s not, foolishly, feed her ‘varan bhaat’ and ‘puran poli’. Just stop these meaningless and stupid practices. Feed her with food that is grown in your home out of your own money that you worked for. – P P Bapu’s words on baara maas chara project.
