In Indian culture people consider the cow an equivalent to maternal management. Hindu mythology recognizes the cow as a sacred animal which earns equal appreciation to divine beings. Science fails to comprehend the medicinal value that exists in both Gaumutra and Gobar apart from the milk which a cow provides us.

The number of healing requirements inside the body of a cow surpasses what a human living span can fully utilize. According to belief the soul remains connected to the tail of the cow after death and the animal pulls the soul across Vaitarni Nadi. Hindu mythology shows Cow riding with God groups including Krishna and his cowherd role as well as Shiva who rides upon his Bull Nandi.

Shastra records indicate that after residing in a cow’s form one becomes human in their following rebirth. In India the cow achieves divine status to the extent that authorities do not consider it as an animal. Cow exists as “Kamdhenu” which means divine cow according to ancient Hindu literature for meeting all requirements. The four legs of this animal represent the “Vedas” , the Hindu holy scriptures and its udder symbolizes the four life goals that include material prosperity, desire, righteousness and liberation. Its horns stand for the gods.

The privilege and joy of caring for cattle during GoSeva activities exceeds all other joys according to traditional teachings and we stand to benefit from Gau Sewa as explained in our Puranas so we must all willingly volunteer for GoSeva activities.
