Om, We Worship the Three-Eyed One (Lord Shiva),
Who is Fragrant (Spiritual Essence) and Who Nourishes all beings.
May He severe our Bondage of Samsara (Worldly Life), like a Cucumber (severed from the bondage of its Creeper),…
… and thus Liberate us from the Fear of Death, by making us realize that we are never separated from our Immortal Nature.

How is Svastya Full Moon A2 milk organic desi ghee made?

Kangeyam Cows are a desi breed of cow that can be found in and around the Kongu region of Tamil Nadu.
These cows graze freely on our farms and are milked on the fullmoon day in the brahmamuhurta. This fresh whole milk does not go through pasteurisation, toning, or skimming.
The udder milk is poured into large brass kadhais and slowly brought to a boil over firewood.
The milk is then boiled in brass vessels with wood... To prevent spoilage, boiling on a slow, sustained, and low fire is required.
It is inoculated with curds once the temperature rises. It is then allowed to ferment, and the entire batch of Curd produced is used to make Ghee.
On the night of the full moon, these inoculated curds are churned using the traditional bilona method, 108 times chanting the Mahamrtunjaya mantra.
To separate the milk solids from the liquids, the curd is slowly churned in a traditional to-and-fro motion using wood churners.
The butter is then washed in fresh water to remove the buttermilk so that the smell does not return as it dries.
The butter is then placed on an iron kadhai, which is then burned in the woods to make the marvel.
