The Go Puja reminds us of the important role the cow, symbolic of the mother, plays in our lives. It’s an opportunity for us to show our appreciation and reverence for her. While possessing a beautiful spiritual symbolism and deep universal significance, cow worshipping might seem like a strange notion for those not raised in the Indian culture.
But, as with most things spiritual, one must sincerely attempt to peel back the protective skin if one wants to get to the sweet fruit inside. Here is a creature that takes so little from nature – just some quiet grazing in the fields – and is abundantly generous in return.
It is easy to conceive of worshipping the cow if one can first understand love. If love is there, we are naturally inspired to serve. This service itself is worship! when we truly love, each action spontaneously becomes a worship.
