GANDHIJI ON NATURE-CURE 
"Forty years before, I happened · 
to read two books by Kuhne, The New 
Science of Healing and Return to 
Nature. Since then I am an ardent 
believer in Nature-Cure. · 
"India is a poor country, and I am 
trying to evolve a Nature-Cure system 
which could benefit the poor masses . of India. I wish to confine myself to a 
system and means, which relate to the 
five elements, viz. Earth, Water, Light, 
Sky and Air. This means that, people 
with faith in God will follow the path of 
nature and use natural means for cure 
of their diseases. "It also means that it is better to 
prevent disease, than cure it after it 
has got a footing in the body. This will 
teach people to observe cleanlines 
and show them the proper way to keep 
their bodies and minds healthy." MANAV MOOTRA

It is a pleasure to publish Fifth Edition in English of 'Manav 
Mootra'. Thirte.en Edition of Hindi l:!ook "Arogyaka Amulya Sadhan' 
and Sixteen Edition of "Manav Mootra", Gujarati has also been 
published some time back. This shows that publicity and 
propaganda of this book is very much increasing day by day. Though protest from Experts of Allopathy, Homeopathy and 
Ayurved, without any publicity experiments on Auto Urine Therapy 
are being done at many places of Gujarat. More and more patients 
suffering from various diseases and having been disheartened after 
use of all type of medicines, resort to Auto Unine Therapy and have 
regained their lost health. generally nature itself tries to keep healthy, diseased body and if 
the disease has not entered deep into the body disease itself 
becomes silent naturally a:nd the doctor and medicine gets the 
credit. But in case of disease deeply rooted in the body, by 
suppressing, the outer signes of disease by use of medicine, instead 
of its cure, it take deep root in the body and comes out again and 
age1in in one we1y or the another. To get cure from this, more 
P' Jwl'rful rnedicines are being used and the disease takes serious 
tum and the patient cannot get himself cured after even taking 
powerful medicine or injection. He gets weaker and weaker, week 
by week, and becomes unhealthy. The only course to get out of his 
serious circumstances is to remove waste and poison gathered in the 
body. For this one should make change in habits of taking food, 
water and living style, and resort to natural and controlled life. By 
doing, so, one would regain his lost health. All these matters have 
been considered in this book in simple language. In addition to publication of this book, centre, for giving advice 
.for Use of Auto Urine Therapy is being run for the last seventeen 
years at the office of Sadachar Samiti situated at Nashabandh~ 
Compound, Bhadra, Ahmedabad, Shri Pannalal Zaveri and [vi] 
Pranlalbhai Mehta were giving their honorary Services at the centre 
till their death and were giving information and guidance to patients. Shri pannalal Zaveri was a dedicated Social Worker of high quality 
and in his death there is a great loss to this Institution. Shri Pranlal 
Mehld was a retired Judge and after his retirement in 1973 he 
dedicated !1imself to the services of Sadachar Samiti. In his death, 
the institution has suffered irrepairable loss. Shri Shashikant Patel, 
Son of late of Raojibhai Patel, father of Auto-Urine Therapy, 
continues to give honorary services to the lnsitution. But for his 
services the Institution would have crippled dowri. He has a vast 
experience of Auto-Urine Therapy. He gives advice and guidance to 
patients either comming personally from all over 1r:dia or by about 
200 letters every month, without charging any fees. Shri Pranalal 
Mehta had made correspondance with eminant doctors of England, 
U.S.A. and Germany to show how Auto-Urine Therapy is useful in 
curing various diseases all will be surprised to know that eminant 
doctors and scientists have given much importance ~o Auto-Urine 
Therapy and have written that Auto-Urine has proved useful in case 
of incurable disease like cancer and serious type of other diseases. Experiments on auto-urine therapy is being conducted in Gujarat 
for the last about seventeen years and its acl·.tantage is being taken by 
Learned, Intelligent and rich classes. In addition doctors and Vaidyas 
are taking keen interest in Urine Therapy for the last few years. Some 
Vaidyas have praised this· system openly by writting in daily News 
papers and Doctor friends (M.B.B.S., M.D.O.) believing in Allopathy 
have started taking keen interest and It is heartening that they infrom 
either personally or by writting letters etc. that this Therapy is 
important and that incurable and severe diseases have been cured 
by use of Auto-Urine Therapy. This type of beneficial Auto-Urine Therapy in which no expense 
is to be incurrPd has been proved beneficiary to poor as well as rich 
classes in these di1· r of critical financial' position. In such 
circumstances rer;~e:~: was made to Gujarat Government to have 
research and cxpe'iments on this therapy and to put it on right [vii] 
direction. The public would be glad to know that the Gujarat 
Government has agreed for the same. In addition to this book, Auto-Urine Therapy Advisory centre has 
published books and publications cantaining various type of details 
of own experience. This centre receives about 200 to 300 letters from differant parts 
of the country·. Letters from foreign countries are also being 
received. Reply to every letter and full information regarding 
treatment is supplied and correspondance continues in the matter. In 
these letters we get worth taking instances of cure of disease and 
experience of Auto-Urine Therapy. Information of these cases is 
published in monthly magazine "Saberno Sad" published by 
Adhyayan Mandai, Ahmedabad Patients from every corner of India

We are happy to bring out the 6th reprint of MANAV MUTRA. However the pleasure of bringing out a new reprint is of a mixed 
nature as our senior colleagues Babubhai Vasanvala and 1\:mndal

(Gujarat) PREFACE 
It gives us pleasure to publish the Seventh Edition of MANAV 
MOOTRA (in English), originally written by Late shri Raojibhai Patel, 
the first chairman of Bharat Sevak Samaj, Gujarat State Branch. This 
book has been translated into Hindi, Gujarati and Kannad languages 
also. Eversince the publication of this book in 1959, it has been 
revised from time to time and a number of new case histories and 
updated information have been added to make the book more useful. There is a demand for the translation in other Indian languages too 
which proves its usefulness and popularity. This fact could be 
as<;ertained from the following figures of circulation. 1) Manav Mootra (Gujarati)

It ·may be worthwhile to note that this phenomenal demand of 
the book has taken place without practically any publicity and 
inspite of opposition from seme sections of the society. But, on 
seeing the success of the Therapy their opinions have been changed. The attitude of the Gujarat Government has also been favourable & 
sympathetic. However, intensive efforts are required for the 
experimental research work in this field to give the therapy a status 
of scientific treatment. The efforts of the voluntary agencies in this 
direction could be supplemented by the government providing the 
necessary ~nfrastructure for the research and clinical' work. Bharat 
Sevak ·sam..tj is the pioneer in the field of Auto Urine Therapy. The 
experiments were made on ownself by Late Shri Raojibhai Patel 
when the name of Auto Urine Therapy was not even heard by the 
people. He also published his experiences in form of a book in 1959. Several institutions and individuals are trying to exploit this therapy 
for their commercial motives which is very sad. It is encouraging to know that in western countries , the urine 
therapy is being practised to cure several incurable diseases like 
cancer .. Some universities have encouraged the research in this (X] 
sector, and injections are also made out of urine. Unfortunately, 
no systematic or scientific research has been undertaken in our 
country. The institutions which are interested or eager to work in 
this field do not have sufficient resoures for the purpose. May be, 
as in other sectors, we follow the western countries in this field too 
and we may accept this therapy after it is accepted by othe; 
countries . In this edition several new recent experiments and their results 
have been added. We are thankful to Dr. Shantibhai M. Desai our 
old friend for his valuable contribution in writing a chapter no.6 (at 
the end) which includes some new concepts for maintaining good 
health and latest successful cases of Urine Therapy. In will be gratifying to take note of the commendable work done 
by Shri Raojibhai Patel, Shri Pannalal Jhaveri, Dr. Maganbhai Salaria, 
Dr. Paragjibhai Desai, Shri Pranlal Mehta, Shri Juthabhai and Shri 
Babubhai Vasanvala, former Health Minister, Gujarat State for their 
valuable contribution in propagating the concept of this therapy 
taking it to the people. We hope that in the time to come, the auto 
urine therapy by its virtue will take its place in the domaine of 
medical treatment and will be effectively used in eliminating the 
sufferings of the poor. Jayantibhai Trivedi

SUFFICIENTLY THOUGHT-PROVOKING 
have great pleasure i;l writing a Foreword on the book 
Auto-Urine Therapy, the English translation of the book originally 
published in Gujarati under the title Manav Mootra (Human Urine) 
by late Shri Raojibhai Patel as the author and Bharat Sevak 
Samaj-Gujarat, as publishers. Shri Raojibhai Patel was a front rank fighter in the struggle for 
India's independence. He was also a dedicated constructive social 
worker all his life. Publication of observations recorded with a 
missionary zeal, by such an eminent personality, requires careful 
study. The belief that urine is not an excreta but is one's life-water, 
gifted by Nature for the purpose of health living and for use as a 
main therapeutic measure for almost the whole range of human 
diseases, including such diseases as cancer and pulmonary 
tuberculosis is intriguing, interesting and fascinating. If it could be 
substantiated by human experiments undertaken and planned on a 
scientific basis, it would be a great boon to human beings, more so 
in the modern age of space travel. The author had a heart attack in 1954 and again in 1958. During 
the latter attack he was given by a friend a book entitled The Water 
of Life written by John W. Armstrong, from which he has drawn his 
main inspiration. John Armstrong claims to have been inspired by 
his own interpretation of Biblical writing in the fifth chapter of Old 
Testament, 'Drink water out of thine own cistern' as equivalent to a 
command to drink one's own urine. The present author has sought 
historical evidence of the health preserving properties of individual's 
own urine, by quotations from the 'Puranas', the 'Bible', as well as 
from the Ayurvedic and Jain literature. It is further assumed by the 
author that one of the biological instincts of all animals is toresort to 
drinking their own urine during illness and that Homo Sapiens (man) 
has lost this protective biological instinct during his social evolution .. The next basic assumption by the author is a staterr,e.lt that urine is 
not an excreta but an elixir of life having in its composition all the [ xii] 
vital ingredients necessary for the continuation of biological 
functions during health, and for their restoration to normal 
equilibrium during ill health. All throughout the book it is evident 
that the author believes in the assumption that an individual's own 
urine is the vital elixir of his life as a matter of unshakable faith. Naturally, the evidence supporting the Faith is loudly hailed, which 
any adverse remark or statement is dumped as arising from 
ignorance, prejudice or selfish motivation of vested interest. Case histories of instances of beneficial effects of the therapeutic 
use of one's own urine are recorded. The case records of its 
usefulness in pulmonary tuberculosis, bone tuberculosis, gland 
tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus, gangrene, cancer and other growths, 
retention of urine, nephritis, heart-diseases, mitral stenosis, high 
blood pressure, oedema, malarial fever, filarial diseases and other 
fevers, coughs and colds, eosinophilias, asthma, deep wounds, 
burns, obesity, cataract, glaucoma, menstrual disorders, pyorrhoea, 
hyperacidity, gastric ulcer, appendicitis, colitis, spr~e, ascites, gout, 
eczema, leucoderma, psoriasis and leprosy and other disorders are 
quoted. These case reports are random samples and· do not come 
from any definite groups of diseases in a series which could lead to 
any statistical analysis. The book is written in a stimulating style and is fairly 
. thought-provoking. If, by a resort to a simple remedy of drinking 
one's own urine a large number of minor and major ailments are 
claimed to be cured, it requires further focussing of attention to it. Also the problem needs a large scale of scientific and statistical study 
by a large group of workers to bring it out from the realm of mystery, 
miracle or faith, to a simple scientific observation. After going through the book, one would make the following 
observations : 
1. Drinking and local application of one's own urine, associated 
with fasting is claimed by a fair number of ind.ividuals to have 
beneficial effect for a variety Qf ailments as recorded by the author. [ xiii] 
2. Follow-up study of the cases reported in the book for a period 
upto five years would be highly informative and instructive. 3. The correctness or otherwise of the theory that all animals 
instinctively drink their own urine, during ill-health needs 
examination and observation by biologists, with an open mind all 
over the world. 4. The theory that urine is not an excreta but a secretion having 
in its composition all the vital constituents needed for the restoration 
of health to the individual, needs to be studied and corroborated or 
rejected by physiologists and biochemists, in view of the evidence 
sought to have been brought out by the author. 5. The present reports are based on the effects observed from a 
combination of the use of one's own urine and starvation by fasting. Would it be worthwhile to make serial observations on the effects 
of, firstly the use of urine alone (without fasting), secondly, fasting 
on water alone (no drinking of ur~ne); and thirdly the combination of 
fasting and drinking one's own urine ? Thus controlled experiments 
could be planned both on healthy volunteers and on patients. Such 
a study would be necessary, if the thecapeutic value of human urine 
is to be generally accepted. 6. One would strongly recommend a study of human urine 
therapy in a series of cases of one diseaseentity, e.g. diabetes 
mellitus or inoperable cancer, so a~ to enable one to record the 
percentage of success or failure as compared to the established 
treatment for the particular disease-entity. In conclusion, it can be stated with a certain degree of fairness 
that the book of Human-Urine (Manav Mootra) is suffciently 
thought-provoking to necessitate further trials planned on scientific 
basis, prior to partial or complete acceptance or rejection. The 
tenacity of purpose shown by the author is highly praiseworthy 
though one wishes, he was less uncharitable to his critics. Ahmedabad, 
13-11-1962 jiVRAJ N. MEHTA I BEAUTIFUL AND SIMPLE THERAPY 
Shri Raojibhai experimented this new therapy of urine in his old 
age and indisposed condition and obtained good results. The 
courage and vigour with which he made publicity o f this therapy for 
the welfare of society, is enough to put a youth to shame. Thus he 
prepared this small (now large in volume) book. From the very 
beginning he had kept me informed of this experiment and had also 
sent me a copy of The Water of Life by john Armstrong. In fact such 
a method of treatment of all diseases, without any medicine, should 
be listed under Nature Cure, but so far it has not been included in 
what is ordinarily known by thatterm. In any scientific subject, the keystone is laid by the successes 
achieved through experimentation. There is no room for any 
mirc.•cle, secrecy or mystery about it. I am not aware of any other 
book by Armstrong besides the one mentioned above on this 
subject. Though in Ayurveda we do get a description of the 
medicinal use of urine of different animals besides man in 
successfully curing various diseases, yet the method of curing all 
diseases with human urine as described in this book, has a special 
charm for all, I believe, if such experiments are continued and the 
complete course of this treatment is systematized on the basis of 
available experiences, the cure of many, otherwise, incurable 
diseases can be achieved without any burden on the purse of the 
patient. The main difficulty in this treatment is the feeling of hesitation 
and common dislike of the very word 'urine'. Hence a change in the 
attitude of people is necessary to make them ready for its internal 
and external application like that of other medicines, unpleasant in 
smell and taste. The author has taken pains in this respect. Besides 
his one and that of his relatives, he has given the experiences of (XV] 
number of educated as well as uneducated men and women. The 
book also contains an article by the veteran physician Vaidya Shri 
Bapalal. In addition to all this Raojibhai has clarified the ins and 
outs of this therapy in the supplement, which is in the form of 
question-aswer guide and will great!y he!p the readers to clear their 
doubts. I hope thdt in this age, when there is a largescale manufacture of 
strange medicines every day, this beautiful and simplro: therapy will 
be highly welcomed . Dated : 12-1-'59 
New Delhi MoRARJJ DEsAr ABOUT SHRI RAOJIBHAI 
s.hri. Raojibhai took up the mission of urine therapy in the evening 
of h1s life and that shows that his spirit was quite young though his 
body was old and full of diseases. He was a popular social worker 
afld was known for his hard and selfless work. He was born in Charotar area of Gujarat on 23-6-1888. Since 
1907, he took a fancy for the service of the mother! and when he first 
attended the Indian National Congress Session of Surat. He went to South Africa to earn his living and became a 
shopkeeper. But his yearning spirit soon took him to Gandhiji's ford 
and he joined his Phoenix Ashram in 1912 and joined the 
Satyagraha movement too. In 1915 he had to come back to India a's 
hi·s uncle was sick. By chance Gandhi}i too returned to India after his 
successful struggle in South Africa and so Shri Raojibhai began to 
stay at his Sabarmati Ashram. He served under Gandhiji in various 
ways. In his later years he was much more prone to spirituality even 
though he continued his social service. When in 1953 Bharat Sevak 
Samaj was started the work of its Gujarat branch naturally came to 
Shri Raojibhai's hands. In 1954 he had a heartattack arid he came to 
~now about urine therapy by chance and he heroically 
·experimented with it. He took it up with a missionary spirit and there 
was the unique zest to find out a costless sure cure for the poor. He 
did great justice to the task and the people at large well responded to 
his call. Many a people experimented on urine therapy on their own 
and they conveyed their successful experiments to Shri Raojibhai. Such a great popular response was beyond Shri Raojibhai's 
expectation but it certainly made him fully convinced that urine • 
therapy had great potentialities and a great future. So he devoted 
every minute of his life to this task till the end of his life on 
20-1-1962. So he died in harness. INTRODUCTORY 
"Even Rama, the incarnation of God, could not know what would 
~ appen the next morning." Rama was to be enthroned next day. But 
i stead of enthronement , he got banishment , but smilingly and with 
he same joy and enthusiasm, he dr~ssed himself in deer-skin and 
went to the forest. Similar was the experience with me in writing 
these chapters. Throughout my life, I have worked in politics and 
have enjoyed social service. I have observed restraint as far as 
possible in leading such a life and have always tried to control the 
mind. I have derived pleasure from such efforts. After all 
self-satisfaction is the greatest pleasure and I have always coveted it. Li.ke an ordinary man I felt self-satisfi ec! by recording the incidents of 
my life in the second part of my book, "Life-streams" (Tivananan 
Zaranan) and then I retired from active life as if waiting for death, 
the greatest friend of may. Service-motive : But events do not occur as we desire. 'God is 
almighty' and the world moves according to His will. I was not an 
exception. I was on the brink of death when God engaged me in a 
new activity which I never dreamt of. I wished to live a peaceful life 
without any strain, when the work of urine therapy suddenly 
appeared before me. I had no concern whatsoev er with the systems 
of Ayurveda, Allopathy, Homoeopathy. Naturopathy, Hydropathy of 
Biochemics and other treatments. I may not be even able to 
pronounce the difficult names of these therapies ! And I am not 
ashamed of it. I have not the least idea why God ordained me to 
take to this field ! It may be that omnipotent Power who is present 
in every heart is working through me. It is in my nature that if I get a 
chance to serve the sufferers, I can refuse to go to heaven and 
would gladly prepare myself even to go to hell. Gandhiji was a great 
resevoir of merits. lwould have thought blessed, had I been able to 
clrink a few drops from that vast reservoir andl have been alsways 
U. T.-2 [ xviii] 
eager to understand ar,d adopt his spirit in public welfare activities. In facr, the work of social service is highly difficult and complex. It 
is not a bed of roses. but that of thorns. Only a martyr can tread such 
a hard path. I have felt satisfaction in whatever little I could learn of 
such martyrdom of Gandhiji. God is omniscient and it is He who gave me an opportunity to 
work in this new field of pub)ic service. As if to test my faith and 
conviction. He offered and challenged me to take up the work of 
Urine Therapy. Urine is such a substance that the vcrl' name of it 
creates nausea among people, how to dare to talk of its use ? 1, whtY 
was on the brink of death, was dragged by God into this inspiring 
work, and I have engaged _myself wholeheartedly in the propagation­
of Urine Therapy. 'God helps those who help themsleves.' And so it 
was with rne. One after the other, people came to me from far and 
wide and described their varied experiences on this subject; thus 
my faith in Urine Therapy began to increase. A Natural Means : I have not considered Urine Therapy from the 
viewpoint of Ayurveda or Allopathy and I do not even feel any 
necessity for that. I have undertaken this work through my faith in 
God wherein doctors or scientists can hardly venture to tread or take 
interest. Unlike the prevalent systems of treatment, Urine Therapv is 
a unique gift of God for the well-being of all living beings. Ayurveda, 
no doubt, has be~n evolved from experiments with natural herbs, 
but the medicinal · use of urine was known earlier than that as a 
positive and not'a neg~tive means for preserving as well as re;torin~ 
health. God has provrded every human being from his very birth 
with this unique means of preserving health. As a matter of fact, it is 
not a treatment for a particular disease but a strong preventive 
against all ailments. I do not waste my time in unnecessary 
arguments as to how, why and on what basis such a faith was 
engendered in my heart. The sun is there and I see it; does it 
require any argl.iment to prove its existence ? Physician is the 
creation of man himself and culture. It is a plain fact that God 'did 
not create any pfTys;t:oln to preserve the physical soundness of [ ixx] 
human beings and other living organisms. On the other hand he 
has equipped every organism with a means of preservetion in the 
form of urine. It is purely a matter of firm an.d true faith. Every 
human being is free to behave according to his own inclinations 
however strange or peculiar it may be. Man is the most foolish in 
this matter. He has raised a host of medicines for himself. But, 
should we forsake the truth on that account ? Human being is a 
miracle of God and it is unthinkable that in the matter of 
preservation of health he should depe11d on extraneous help while 
the rest of the animals, birds and insects depe~d on nature. Surely, 
God had provided every living being with a complete and 
self-dependent organism and also with a means to preserve its 
health. This is an apparent fact and it may be unpallatable to the 
so-called cultured and civilized modern society but it cannot refuse 
to accept this naked truth. The light of truth like the effulgent sun 
cannot be concealed for long. The Two Sides : Thoughts of this type arose in my mind and 
ultimately I decided that Urine Therapy is a very vast field. I thought 
it to be very useful for the service of suffering humanity. I do not 
know how far an insignificant person like me would be successful in 
this task, as 1 ha¥e neither the capability nor physical stamina to 
undertake it. Still I have ventured to write the following chapters 
with an aim to remove the ingnorance of people on the subject. I 
!>hall feel my attempt to be rewarded if something be done in this 
direction. But mere writing does not serve the purpose. The 
propagation of this therapy has advantages as well as difficulti\:s. 
The advantages are-(1) Urine is a gift of God. (2) It is a unique 
and complete fluid to replenish all the deficiencies and this is 
proved scientifically, (3) It costs nothing but as far as the benefits are 
concerned it is invaluable. Earnest faith and frim conviction, not 
money, are the only price for ;t. (4) It is far more effective than any 
other medicine. (5) According to Ayurveda, it is the destroyer of the 
external and the internal body-poimn. It is also a tonic that 
invigorates the body, checks old age and removes weakness. (6) It is (XX] 
harmless and in no way injurious to the body. It will be a great 
service to Ayurveda if the importance of such a useful fluid is 
brought home to the people at large. It is true that I am a supporter 
of Ayurveda but at the same time I hold that Urine Therapy is the 
mother of Ayurveda. No devotee of Ayurveda should be offended or 
be dishearten ed by this statement. I request him to form his decision 
after proper thought. I do not mind if he accepts this therapy even as 
a part of Ayurveda. The poverty-stricken populace of our country 
seems tired of costly medicines, long treatments and worries 
involved therein. This provides a favourable condition for the 
propagation of this therapy. Now. I would relate the obstacles-(1) Urine is an object of 
general repugnance and there is a wrong impression about its taste 
and smell. (2) Ours is a wrong notion that bodily poison is excreted 
through urine. (3) Since the Urine Therapy is not in vogue for the 
past hundreds of years, we did not know the scientific method of its 
application. (4) We are careless in taking the necessary precautions 
while adapting the therapy. We are generally inordinate in our diet 
and habits. (5) There is taboo in the high and cultured society against 
urine. (6) The practitioners of other systems of medicine, for the sake 
of their own interests, are opposing it tooth and nail in the name of 
cleanliness, culture and civilization . Though many Vaidyas have 
accepted Urine Therapy as a part of Ayurveda, yet many of them, 
mad after money have joined the opposition. (7) The common man 
lacks sufficient moral courage to reject false notions and ideas about 
Urine Therapy and replace them with correct ones. Resistance to Exploitation : In spite of these obstacles, it is my 
firm faith that Indian public can be saved from the clutches of the 
blind followers of Allopathy. This is however possible only when all 
the talented and genuine followers of Ayurveda make a concerted 
effort, with full faith, to eliminate the perni.cious dominance of 
modern medicine. The devotees of Ayurveda, for this, shall have t~ 
practise penance, do reseraches and devote th('mselves to this task 
whole-heartedly . No doubt, there are a few bc·,1evolent and selfless [ xxi] 
Allopathic doctors but they are very few and their voice is not heard; 
it is merely a cry in the wilderness. Some of the doctors, honestly 
admit that they are practising modern medicine because they are 
educated that way and it is the only means of their livelihood. The 
number of such doctors is exdtremely small, while the 
manufactvrers, distributors and other businessmen in the fiedl are 
.. .thousand s in number and have vested interests. Some of the doctors 
have confessed that, while suffering from fever and cold they 
themselves use Indian herbs like the extract of chiretta or 
myrobalan, but they prescrive injections to their patients suffering 
from the same disease ! These injections cost them fifty paise or a 
rupee for which they charge five to seven rupees to the patient. The 
number of doctors, who are really an honour to their profession or 
truly help a patient, may be at the most a· hundred among 
thousands . Good doctors earn reputation not only for themselves 
but to their profession and the rest of the lot take advantage of their 
goodwill. So the experts become a support to quacks. Their 
inter-dependenc e and mutual help give the quacks prestige in 
society. Had·the society benefited by their influence eve·n to some 
extent, it could be justified. But it is painful to see that by their 
dominating influence, society is ruined physically, mentally and 
economical ly. One would not mind if a particular section of society 
holds infulence over the rest of the society by virtue of its mental or 
spiritual power ; but if a class of people, without any such virtue 
exploits society in the name of reforming them, or releving them of 
their troubles, it is altogether intolerable. It is then the sacred duty of 
every citizen to oppose such an exploitation. It is clear from its 
history and innumerable instances that Allopathy has failed to 
eliminate or reduce human ailments. On the other hand, the old 
diseases become chronic and new ones come "into existence. Day 
by day efforts are being made to keep villages, towns and cities 
cleaner and are provided with more and more amenities, but it is a 
mater of painful surprise that diseases and also the·. number of 
doctors and other medical practitioners are keeping pace with [ xxii] 
greater rapidity ! Let us take practical instances. Revealing Figures : Population, municipal budget and the 
number of medical practitioners in Ahmedabad in the years 
19931-32 and 1957-58 were as followe : 
Year 
1931-32 
1957-58 Population

Vaidyas and 
Hakims 
200 (Appro.) 800 (Appro.) . This date dearly indicates that the population of Ahmedabad 
m the las~ 25. years has increased by 250% and the expenditure 
on cleanlless, sanitation, roads, drainage, establishment of new 
colonies, ~mall and l_arger gardents, etc. has increased by 900%. In prop?rt1on_ to the mcreased expenditure of the municipality on 
the vanous 1tems of civil amenities, the expenditure of public 
money on health should have been less; nut instead there is a 
400':-o increase _on these items; ~hile the doctors, ~aidyas and 
~ak1ms dependmg upon the public money have multiplied four 
t1rnes. What could be the reason? This is the problem which invites 
a g? ?d deal of consideration from every thoughtful person. In 
add1:1on, the public health, instead of improving has gone down 
cons1derably. Old diseases. are becoming more and more acute 
and new diseases are raising their heads. This is not peculiar to 
A~medabad _only _but every big or small village, to~n or city of 
th1s country 1s facmg this problem. Who is responsible for all this? I place this problem.before those who claim a monopoly of public 
health but have failed in the discharge of their responsibility. Harsh but True : In the year 1909, Gandhiji severely ciriticized 
doctors ~n_d lawyer~ in his book Hind Swaraj. He placed legal 
and med1cmal pract1ce and also prostitution in the same category. [ xxiii] 
Forty-nine years ago; when I read his revolutionary views in Hind 
Swaraj, I felt some turth in such severe criticism by an humble and 
saintly person 1ike Gandhiji who himself was a barrister. Gandhiji 
'«as a great sould and was always in search of truth. He never 
hesitated to change his views and confess his mistakes whenever it 
was proved otherwise by facts. But he nveer retracted his above 
views in this connection. My own experience also confirms it and I 
hold Gandhiji was absolutely correct in 'this matter. A lawyer and a 
doctor are human beings and are 'useful to society to the extent to 
which human feelings dominate their protession. But my fife-long 
experience compells me to conclude that whenever the professions 
of law and medicine are practised by the greedy, they hav destroyed 
the social and moral health of the society and in addition the 
medical profession has harmed its physical health too. Of course, 
there is a small number of kind-hearted and honest persons in these 
professions, but either they are unwilling to acceptthis truth or they 
feel themselves helpless to overcome the established wrong 
traditions. This is really a sad situ(!.tion. :t is the need of the hour, therefore, for the public to wake up 
frOm the long inertia and fortify itsef against the social, moral and 
physical exploitation by these educated but greedy professionals. My readers will forgive me for the above statement which would 
appear too harsh and unpalatable, but I do hope that they will 
think over it and realize the underlying truth. To conclude, I wish to express special thanks to Shri Morarji 
Desai for his kind support to this casue taken up in this book. It has 
given me much pleasure and encouragement. I thank too Dr. Jivraj 
Mehta for his encouraging words. His support to this ther<;tPY as a 
. doctor is valuable, no doubt. RAOJIBHAI MANIBHAI PATEL PREFACE 
Man's progress and happiness depend solely upon his physical 
and mental health. -His physical and mental health are 
interdependent and upon the health of the individual depends the 
health of the society. So the most primary concern of man is his 
health. His formost duty, therefore, is to keep his health; if by chance 
he falls ill, he should regain his health as early as possible by natural 
means. If he understands the reasons and causes of his ill health, he 
can easily take steps to cure it. The main causes of diseases are 
mainly bad habits, wrong and unnatural way of living and mental 
abberations. Some times strong likes and dislikes, prejudices, anger, 
avarice and other mental negative attitudes cause itt health. So the 
most urgent matter for every man is to keep physical and mental 
normalcy. Urine therapy is very useful in keeping one's health -
physical and mental. It is useful in many ways not only in keeping 
health but in curing ill-health and diseases of various types. Its intake 
can be useful in getting rid of negative attitudes like nauses, disgust, 
etc. and even prejudice against such a beneficial natural substance. Self-support in Health : It is an age-old dictum that true 
happiness lies in being self-supporting in every way and in every 
walk of life. It is even more so in the matter of keeping health and 
curing illness. Nature too teaches man to be self-supporting. Man's 
body is autonomous in many a way and, the ultimate purpose of 
nature is to make man fully· self-supporting. As a child grows it 
becomes.more and more self-reliant and its progress is judged in the 
measure it achives self-reliance. So a fully grown man is he who is 
self-reliant in the matter of his health. He is fully wise who has not to 
resort to medicine every now and then. But in case he has some 
illness he should resort to suh means as would make him and keep 
him self-reliant. Such a natural means is auto-urine. It is harmless 
and innocent and keeps him self-supporting in curing his ill-health. Auto-urine is the king of all the homely or household cures and 
treatments. It can be used by the poorest and even the richest with 
equal benefit and so it is an equaliser n matter of medicine. It is. (XXV] 
fully a democratic and socialistic means in it~ true form_! So the 
knowledge of auto-urine therapy must be 1mparted m general 
knowledge about health to every child. True Nature of Urine : Auto-urine is a sure cure in most of the 
major and minor diseases. Only God's name truly recited i_s _a 
panace and next to it is auto-urine, though_ not a panacea but 1t IS 
certainly a sure cure. It is easy in its application but hard to a close~ 
mind. A man with open mind can fully take advantage of th1s 
natural and handy universal medicine but a closed mind can hardly 
allow its·in take andeven its application. In its ture and natural form 
it is not bad in taste, nor ugly in appearance. It contains all thefive. elements of earth, water, fire, gas, etc. It has the six-fold taste of 
saltiness, bitterness, etc. and that too all at a time. It fulfils the law of Circle of Circuit : Urine therapy has not only 
an age-old support of all religions and their authent!c texts but _is 
equally ·sanctioned even by experts of today. The w1se support 1t. Ayurveda fully supports it. An age-old experience also complet~ ly 
sanctifies it. If auto-blood can be taken, why should not auto-unne 
be taken when both blood and urine are so intensely interrelated ? Like auto-blood, auto-uri.ne fulfils the law of circle or circuit. In 
nature, law of cycle is omnipresent and it works everywhere. The 
universe is round or spherical. Evaporation of water on earth and the 
formation . .of clouds and its raining on earth completes a cycle. Positive-negative poles in magnetism and electricty fulfil the same 
law of circuit. The reproduct ion of vegetable and animal and human 
world proves the same law of ciruit. Leaves fall from the trees and 
they decay and are transformed into manure and. tha~ goes ~ack ~o 
earth and the trees take nourishment from it and m th1s fash10n b1g 
forests come into existence by the law of circle. So naturally 
auto-urine also fulfils the same law of circle or circuit and nourishes, 
sustains and replenishes human body. 1 
why not Call It Urine-naturopathy ? : Urine therapy has so 
developed that it can be easily seen from its technique of treatment 
that it is very much based on the main principles of naturopathy. [ xxvi] 
Naturopathy insists on fasting, earth-pads, enema, dieting and 
cleansing of body and proper nourishment. Ayurveda emphasizes 
the same and insists on proper diet according to seasonal changes. Urine therapy is based on the same fundamental principles but there 
is a special additional natural substance therein. The substance is 
auto-urine and its addition makes a great difference and so it 
deserves a new name and an appropriate one is urine-naturopathy. It 
is a synthesis of all natural pathies and so it is an integral and natural 
therapy. Thus its very nautre prescribes its use and non-use and also 
when it can be applied and not applied. Being a fully natural 
therapy, it can be applied in all cases except some rare and urgent 
cases of surgery. From this book, it can be known how and when 
and wherefore it can be utilized to the best advantage. My Own Experience : I am not a doctor of medicine but a doctor 
of philsophy and even then I dared to edit and compile this book, 
not out of any audacity but only on the basis of my own experience 
of this therapy for the lastten years. Not only myself but our family 
members had rarely to take Allopathic medicine and all of them 
have mostly utilized and depended upon naturopathy and 
household medicines when there was minor or major illness in the 
house. Recently I fasted mainly on urine for seven days taking some 
milk during the day. It relieved my eye-strain to a great extent and 1 
felt the body very light as it was well purified. About This Compact Edition : In this edition all the facts and 
figures of Shri Raojibhai's book are retained. It )5' a revised and 
compact edition of Shri Raojibhai's book with certain additions. To 
make it compact, the repetitions are done away with; irrelevant 
details are· avoided as they are not useful now to the reader even 
though they were useful at the time when it was written. It Is revised 
in order to make it compact, and more readable. All the illustrations 
are, no doubt, kept in tact as in the original and a few more are 
added under the caption "Afterm<lth of Cases". These cases were 
successful cases of urine therapy which took place after Shri 
Raojibhai's demise. So the order of diseases cured is somewhat [ xxvii ] 
changed in order to present them in a proper'sequence. A New Text-book on Urine-therapy Necessary : As more and 
more research is to be carried out in this field and as it spreads 
more and more in rural and \.,lrban areas, a new text-book on urine 
therapy seems to be a necessity. Such a text-book on urine therapy 
would give all the research references from old texts, e.g. Shivambu 
Kalpa, Ayurvedic texts and other references. It should give a full 
philosophy of urine therapy in a very scientific way. It should also 
give a genereal method of treatment of urine therapy and at the 
same time should also give disease-wise detailed instructions of 
treatment with only relevant illustrations. In shourt it would be a 
text-book not only on philosophy of urine therapy but also on its 
varied treatment f~om disease to disease and though in this therapy 
the medicine is auto-urine it is quite different from person to person 
and is unique for one's own use and so such a text-book would 
provide· a. novel materia-medica too. Such a book should be dealt 
with a researcher's approach and should be fully treated 
scientificall)\without any reservation. SHANTILAL M. DESAI AUTO-URINE THERAPY AT A GLANCE 
Auto-urine treatment is a sort of nature-cure treatment. A patient 
suffering from any disease can take this treatment without any 
hesitation as it is harmless and innocent. lfthis experiment may not 
cure the disease, at least it won't do any harm to the patient. A 
person who wants to take this treatment, should ordinarily observe 
the following instructions: 
1. Beginning; Fasting and Drinkingof Urine : 
Auto-urine treatment should be started by observing fasts for one 
to four days as per one's own capacity. During the fast auto-urine 
should be taken three to four times a dya. Boiled water may be taken 
during the fasts. The first portion and last portion of the morning 
urine should be discarded and the rest of the urine should be taken. After the fasts are over the urine should be taken regularly during the 
whole treatment. If the patient is not able to observe fast the may 
begin with taking cow's milk or goat's milk with moong water in a 
small quantity. 2. Restrictions on Diet: 
After the fasts are over, as stated above, liquid food should be 
taken, viz., cow's or goat's milk, moong water, vegetable soups and 
then gradually should take simple food like well-cooked rice, fruits, 
other than bananas and chikus (being very sweet). Black peppers, 
spices, oil, chillis, etc. must be totally avoided. Tea and coffee 
should also be given up. If the patient has got the havit of taking tea 
or coffee, it should be gradually given up and meanwhile the tea and 
coffee when taken should be taken in mild form. Non-vegitarian 
diet, smoking of bidi or cigarettes and alcoholic drinks should totally 
be stopped. · 
3. Massage: 
Alongwith drinking one's own urine the massaging with one's· 
own urine is also neccessary and important. The patient should 
massage 'softly his whole body particularly the affected part with l xxiv l 
one's own four to five days old urine as per the instructi~ns ·g~ven i,n 
the book, "Manav Mootra". The cotton cloth-jJJd wett_e Wit. hone s

he is getting good result the experiment should be continued with 
full faith. The experiment should be continued looking to the 
condition of the patient's health. Light physical exercise in the 
morning may be also help bringing good result. The result of the 
experiment may communicated to the advisory centre. The patient 
should remain in contact with the centre. As stated earlier the Auto-Urine Therapy is a Natural Treatment. If 
the disease is treated in early stages, the treatment is very effective as 
shown by practical experiments of various diseases. Moreover there 
is no harmful effect in any case. While rnaking correspondence with us the pat~ent 's name, t~e 
name of the disease, age of the patient, duration of the disease, etc. must be clearly mentioned: During the experiment of the auto-urine, 
the above particulars as well as the result of the experiment, may 
please be mentioned. Please state the number given by us while 
making correspondence with us. Bharat Seval Samaja (Gujarat)

In the morning, I pray to the God of gods, Who is beyond mind 
and speech; by Whose grace all speeches are manifested, Who is 
negatively described by the Vedas, and Who is unborn, stable and 
Who alone was before the creation of the entire universe. The same Supreme Being is seated in my ·heart too. I devoutly 
pray to Him and begin this auspicious undertaking, I beseech with 
the utmost humility that the merciful God may bestow on a ·dwarf 
like me a sublime vision. Who can understand this creation of 
Brahman ? Man might boast of his intelligence but his vision is 
extremely narrow. He is like a frog in a well. He has given different 
names to that invisible and unknowable Power as per his limited 
vision. A saint has rightly said : 
Oh God ! Thou art without a second 
Thou art one with many names; 
The reality is the same. Thou art the same as Alakha or llahi, 
Rama or Rahim; 
And Thou art the charming Lord, Keshava, 
and Karim; 
0 Lord ! Thou art the Creator, holy and pure; 
Thou art eternal, the Supreme Actor and 
Omnipresent; 
Tnou art formless Allah, One, Ganesh, and 
.. Goswami; 2 : AUTO-URTNE THERAPY 
Thou art wonderful and peerless, possessing 
infinite names. -DADU 
~ r The Unknowa_ble and Invisible Power has manifested Itself in the 
o. m _of the unrverse. He incarnates sometimes as a ro h 
sor:n~trmes.as the ~on of God, and sometimes as a propou~e~o;~ 
~eltg~o~. Drterent rncarnations propagate religions according to the 
emd~ s_o the trme and place. All religions are different wa s of 
worshrpprng the ~ne universal God. All individuals approac: the 
same Supreme Bemg by their respective religious paths. h Lord ~rishna b~s~owed on Arjuna in the Cita, a divine vision and 
e. saw m the lnfmrte Being innumerable animate and inanimate 
berngs, thousands of suns, the entire earth and the sky A . prayed to him in the following words: · rJuna 
. "Thou art the perd~cessor of even Brahman, God of gods, be ond 
exr_stence and non-exrstence , the first God and the support o~ th 
uhnrverse. "~e could not see even then the begining, the middle an~ 
t e end of that Power. How could he do that ? The b . . I h . . . · egrnrng ess 
cannot ave a begrnnrng and that which is without beginnin 
can~ot. have an end. There cannot be any middle when there is n~ 
~e~~~~
1rng or an end. Arjuna found solace by taking refuge in that 
. lV~s~ e and Unknowable Power. He could understand th<> 
I~VISI?Ie Power _only by surrendering himself to God. Let us d~ 
l!kewrse and realrze the same vision. . CHAPTER II 
GOD1S WONDERFUL PLAY 
God is invisible, unknowable without beginning and without an 
end; this is true; but no useful purpose would be served if He 
ai·Nays remains in that stable and transcendental state, Can there be 
joy or pleasure only in that state ? He must, therefore, become 
visiable. He rnust become knowable otherwise the purpose of the 
creation of the universe cannot be explained. That is why He 
engaged Himself in self-manifestation. This manifestation is the play 
of God, Who pervades everything. Besides tile earth on which we 
live, there are innumerable universes, stars, moons and suns and 
the creation covers all beings, living in the sky, water or earth and 
all objects, big or small, movabte or immovable. All this is the 
creation of God and they are the transformed manifestations of the 
invisible and unknowabie God into the visible and knowable state. As a poet is manifested in his poetry, an architect in his architecture, 
an artist in his art, even so God is rn;:mifested in every p.~rticle of 
His creation. He is perfect and so His crec;tion is perfect. As we 
humans are imperfect, . so is our vision also imperfect. One who is 
imperfect cannot grasp perfection. We have lost contact vvi'lh Nature 
and have failed to mould ourselves according to her laws. We ~rre 
far from God and ignorant of Nature. This ignorance is augmented 
in proportion to the distance we have moved away from God and 
Nature. Interest or taste cannot develop in the state of ignorance. Oneness with Nature is impossible in that ignoramus state. In the 
absence of interest and harmony, Nature appears to be harsh, 
ferocious and even meaningless . We can have confidence in and 
harmony with Nature only when we surrender ourselves to Nature's 
Creator. "We should feel in the heart of our hearts that every 
partic-le of Nature, big or small, beautiful or ugly, is our own part. We should have living faith in this ultimate Truth. We recite the axiom (~ m (!m ~) , 'as is in the individual

When the artist IS pcr+cct his art cannot be imperfect. When the 
Creator of the universe is perfect every part of the universe also must 
be perfect. We cannot find any living being in the universe whose 
necessities are not fully provided at the very birth. Sometimes the 
newly born babe appears to be slightly defective but it is due to the 
defect in the parents or due to some physical deficiency. Nature 
creates every organism complete and self-sufficient. Let us take human being as an illustration. Nature gives birth to 
the baby and provides milk in the breasts of the mother for its food. If the mother is temperate, in her food and other habits, her milk is 
an innocent and complete food for the baby. It is sufficient for its 
health and nourishment. If the milk becomes vitiated through some 
transgression of natural laws by the· parents and the baby becomes 
a victim to some ailments, Nature has provided the baby wfth an 
effective medicine in the form of urine. Nature brings the baby on 
earth along with this invaluable medicinal gift. So I have written 
above that even the smallest particle of creation is perfect and 
self-contained even like the Creator Himself. · 
CHAPTER Ill 
NATURE AND SCIENCE 
Man is the highest creation of God. It is said that the full 
identification with Nature is possible in human form only, and that 
is another name of union with God. God has bestowed on man two 
instruments to attain that state, and they are mind and intellect. Ordinarily a human being is guided by mind. Intellect helps the 
mind to come to a decision. The decisions of mind are influenced 
by the environment, contacts, endeavours and past impressions. rhe intellect helps mind in the fulfilment of its desires and fancies. The mind nursed in vicious environment leads astray the intellect I I I I I

also. But a mind ·:tith noble instincts and faith in the eternal laws 
of Nature, is helped by the intellect in becoming Nature's helpmate 
in the divine creation. On the contrary, the mind with no faith in 
"'ature, due to ignoble •mpressions and associations, is incited by 
1e intellect to violate the laws of Nature. The permanent 
. : 1pressions cm<m> are not confined to the individuals only; they 
are related to groups eli~,, and group behaviour is responsible for 
the development of diff~rent cultures such as Eastern or Western 
civilizations. The founders of different r! ::'ligions have ordained commandments 
in the name of God, in clear terms like, "Earn the living with thine 
own labour. Thou art gifted with two hands and two feet. One who 
does not live upon one's own earnings, is a thief and who spends 
away his earnins;s only on personal enjoyments, is a sinner." The 
true followers of every faith obey such instructions. The question 
,1rises that as man is already equipped with two hands and two feet 
:o earn his livelihood, what is the use of intellect ?

        GANDHIJI ON NATURE-CURE 
"Forty years before, I happened · 
to read two books by Kuhne, The New 
Science of Healing and Return to 
Nature. Since then I am an ardent 
believer in Nature-Cure. · 
"India is a poor country, and I am 
trying to evolve a Nature-Cure system 
which could benefit the poor masses. of India. I wish to confine myself to a 
system and means, which relate to the 
five elements, viz. Earth, Water, Light, 
Sky and Air. This means that, people 
with faith in God will follow the path of 
nature and use natural means for cure 
of their diseases. "It also means that it is better to 
prevent disease, than cure it after it 
has got a footing in the body. This will 
teach people to observe cleanlines 
and show them the proper way to keep 
their bodies and minds healthy. " MANAV MOOTRA

Ayurved, without any publicity experiments on Auto Urine Therapy 
are being done at many places of Gujarat. More and more patients 
suffering from various diseases and having been disheartened after 
use of all type of medicines, resort to Auto Unine Therapy and have 
regained their lost health. generally nature itself tries to keep healthy, diseased body and if 
the disease has not entered deep into the body disease itself 
becomes silent naturally a:nd the doctor and medicine gets the 
credit. But in case of disease deeply rooted in the body, by 
suppressing, the outer signes of disease by use of medicine, instead 
of its cure, it take deep root in the body and comes out again and 
age1in in one we1y or the another. To get cure from this, more 
P' Jwl'rful rnedicines are being used and the disease takes serious 
tum and the patient cannot get himself cured after even taking 
powerful medicine or injection. He gets weaker and weaker, week 
by week, and becomes unhealthy. The only course to get out of his 
serious circumstances is to remove waste and poison gathered in the 
body. For this one should make change in habits of taking food, 
water and living style, and resort to natural and controlled life. By 
doing, so, one would regain his lost health. All these matters have 
been considered in this book in simple language. In addition to publication of this book, centre, for giving advice. for Use of Auto Urine Therapy is being run for the last seventeen
