Importance of Cows

Today's episode was really informative and enlightening. Whatever Mahadev said about cows was absolutely true and I completely agree with each and every word 👍🏼, what Mahadev said. Truly we get everything from cows and we do not respect her.

Today's episode reminded me off the incident that happened 2 years ago, the road which I took to go to college. My college is far away and is situated on highway. The road is always bustling with traffic and accidents are a common thing and to make the matters worse we always used to see cows standing and sitting in the middle of the road.

We always used to wonder why cows are standing in the middle of the road and the traffic always came to a standstill. Later we came to know that it was the houses that abandoned their cows as they had ran out of giving milk. So mean people 😡.

And one day, finally the issue was resolved and the cows were finally given a shelter. All this was possible because of a person who wrote about this in the newspaper and municipality took all the measures.

But it still happens

From what I've heard & read, cow slaughter in India is frowned upon because cows,or rather, cattle have always been integral to the main occupation of India, which is agriculture. Cattle farming is another important occupation followed in the good old days in India.

Cow - as a symbol- occurs again and again in our scriptures.

Cow - as a symbol- occurs again and again in our scriptures.

When the Earth, burdened with the wicked deeds of arrogant kings goes to Narayana with her tale of woe, she takes the form of a cow.

Dharma is represented as a Bull and the bull's four legs represent four virtues on which Dharma stands.

When King Prithu wanted the Earth to yield all the life giving substances, the Earth took the form of a milch cow.

The Sanskrit word "Go" means a cow, but it also means the Vedas. Hence cow has always been equated with the Vedas.
