significance of cow worship

August 30, 2006

dear friends

earlier few querents asked me to explain the signficance of cow

worship when i recommend go pooja as a remedy for some problems.

here below i give some information from the puranas:

all gods, goddesses and all vedas are present in the holy cow. a

holy cow carries nectar on the earth. cows are the foremost of all

holy objects and no other sacred place surpasses them. they are the

holiest of the holy and the most nutritious among the nutritious.

therefore, cows should be given as the first gift. all gods would

be pleased by offering curd. by offering milk, shiva is pleased.

by butter firegod agni is pleased. by drinking cow milk, the dead

spirits become holy and the pancha gavya or five cow products (milk,

curd, ghee, urine and dung) are the holiest and nothing is superior

to them.

the marut divinities abide in the teeth of the cow.

saraswati abides in the tongue.

gandharvas abide in the hoofs.

serpent dieties lie in the tips of her hoofs.

the sadhyas dwell in all her joints.

sun and moon dwell in her two eyes.

all stars lie in her hump

dharma dwells in her tail.

all holy pilgrimage places are in her anus

the river jahnavi (ganga) and oceans are in her urine.

where there is cow, there dwells lakshmi and also the eternal

sankhya law.

hence worshipping a cow and offering grass or green vegetables to a

cow is best remedy for any problem.

with best wishes and blessings
