Mother Cow: An emblem of Vedic Culture -1

The significance of Cow in Dharma💡💡

In Hinduism Cow is revered as a mother in Vedic culture, as she provides us life-giving milk.

She is the embodiment of 33 koti demigods and the symbol of piety and auspiciousness.
Vedic scriptures glorify the Cow and explain the importance of serving the cow.

Even Lord Krishna is also known as Govinda and Gopala that means friend and protector of cows.

As we know the beauty of Vedic Culture, we honour our parents, teachers as the token of gratitude.
In our culture, we don't consider cow simply as an animal.

Vedas, Puranas and various Vedic scriptures glorify the Cow and explain the importance of serving the cow.

In Sanatan cow is worshipped, every year on the day of Dhanteras.
As per the Vēdās, a cow is considered as a Universal symbol, here are a few references from Vedic Scriptures.

As per the Atharvavēda, 33 koti Deities reside inside the cow.

While describing the Divine form of a cow, Bhagawan Shrīkrushṇa has said,

‘धनूनामस्मि कामधुक’
In the ancient Rushikuls (Hermitage of Sages), Cow sēvā (service) was compulsory along with Guru-sēvā (Service unto the Guru).
The cow is like a mother for all those who are bachelors till the age of 25 years, a daughter for those who are 26 years old and a sister for those who are 48 years old. – Rigvēda 8-101
Cow brings well-being and purity in the house. She is a source of wealth and prosperity. – Atharvavēda 4-21-5

A guru, a teacher, a father, a mother, a Brahmana, a cow and a yogi all should never be killed. – Manu-Samhita, chapter 4, verse 162
King Janak was told by his Guru Yagnyavalkya, that ‘it is essential to protect cows till our last breath.’.

We must realize how nicely Hindu Dharma has described the importance of looking after cows.
As we were not able to properly look after cows, Shri Vishnu incarnated in Dwāpāryug as Shrīkrushṇa and showed us how to look after cows.

This mere act of Shrīkrushṇa was to show us that if we don’t take care of cows, we will lose our sanctity.
Shrīkrushṇa showed us that there is so much power in cow’s milk, ghee and Panchagavya (A mixture of cow’s milk, curd, ghee, cow’s urine and cow dung), that by consuming these He became so powerful that was able to defeat the powerful demons who fed on meat.
King Janak was told by his Guru Yagnyavalkya, that ‘it is essential to protect cows till our last breath.

People, who talk against the beef ban, can't they see the emotions, the feelings of a huge community?
We consider cow as a mother, can you imagine the pain of losing mother by a child, So is felt by Hindus when they hear about cow slaughter.
