Varahagunabajalam

What is Varahagunabajalam? What is it used for and is there any place from where I can get training in its usage?

S. Varalakshmi

Melakkal, Madurai

Varahagunabajalam is made from the flesh and bones of pigs. About 5kg of pigs flesh and bones, 1 kg of black gram and sesame each are fried in about 2 lts of gingelley oil. About 2 kg of jaggery is added to the mixture and soaked in cow’s urine or water and buried under soil for about 30 days. It helps in better flower formation and fruits. The recommended dosage is 100 ml diluted in 10 litres of water, which can be either sprayed on the leaves or mixed together with irrigated water. For training you can contact Raasi Organic Farms, mobile: 98655-82142, phone: 04565-284937.
