“गावो विश्वस्य मातरः” The Vedic tradition respects and worships cow as the Supreme Mother Goddess. Every product from the cow – the Go-Mutra (cow’s urine), cow dung, cow milk, etc possess religious significance as well as high medicinal properties. “गवां अङ्गेषु तिष्टन्ति भुवनानि चतुर्दश” It is mentioned in our ancient texts that the holy cow is the embodiment of all Gods and Goddesses. Worshipping a cow bestows one the Punya of performing Pooja to the Gods and Goddesses of the entire universe. But, during recent times, cows that are meant to be worshipped are being cruelly slaughtered. The increasing rate of cow slaughter and beef export is a very depressing and shocking truth prevailing in the present time.
