Swamy,
Can we offer buffalo milk to God?
Kshamika prarthikinren
Adiyen ramanuja dasan
Even the packet cows milk nowadays can we offer to God and also can we take it? Bcoz nowadays the cows are injected to give birth to calf artificially and also the machines are only pressing the cow to get the milk. Cow undergoes mentally and physically tortured so will it be good if we use such milk for Pooja and if we consume?
Dear G bhagavatha,
Following is the list of prohibited milk extracted from Ahara Niyamam :
1. Milk of animals like mare , donkey etc. which have single hoof (Vide also Srimad Ramayana)
2. Milk of cow that has given birth to twin calves
3. Camel’s milk
4. Milk with which salt has got mixed up
5. Breast milk of women (this is also referred to in Srimad Ramayana)
6. Cow that is pregnant and cow just ready for sexual intercourse (referred in Srimad Ramayana )
7. The milk of a cow whose calf had just died
8. Milk drawn from a cow by showing to it a calf of another cow
9. Milk that had become sour or bad (also in Srimad Ramaynana )
10. Milk of cows bearing names of deities other than those of Sriman Narayana
11. Milk of ewe (Vide also Srimad Ramayana)
12. Milk purchased from a Brahmin
13. Milk kept in bronze vessel
14. Milk overheated to the point of getting charred
15. Milk and curd taken of milk of cow that has just delivered for at least 10 days after delivery
16. Milk of other animals of the bovine family except the buffalo
So, as per 16th point it is not wrong to consume Buffalo milk.
Milk extracted by giving any himsai to the Animals is to be avoided.

G Swamy,
Only pasum pal Cow’s milk is allowed. Pure milk. Even packet pal not allowed.
Nowadays in homams I see packet paals being accepted. Such a poorNAhuthi will not get fulfilled.
Swamy desikan says don’t consume milk from cow that is named Parvathi in ahAra niyamam
There is a reason we might get devathAntharam
So if we start seeing correctness we have to be perfect to the core
