the sacred home for cows
dhenavaḥ dhanaḥ ūrjam asme vishvaḥ duhanā tantu ||
May the cows forever bestow you with the wealth of their nutritious and energy-giving secretions.
~ atharva veda (18.4.34)
The loving mother, Gaumata (cow)
In Vedic tradition, gau or dhenu (cow) is the loving mother of all beings and is Bhudevi, mother Earth incarnate. Hindu scriptures extol the Divine ‘kamadhenu’ wish-fulfilling cow goddess, and all cows on planet Earth are earthly embodiments of her. Cows are the refuge of all-auspiciousness, strength and abundance. They bestow happiness, nourishment, prosperity and are ever worshipped. Every home, hermitage had the loving presence of cows, and gifting cows to Brahmanas, twice-born sages is the ultimate offering of wealth that brought huge punya, merits to people.
Cows are the fruit of all Vedic ceremonies because all sacred rituals are dependent on cow's gifts such as ghee (clarified butter), which enrich the whole Existence. All secretions from a cow, including cow urine and cow dung are sacred and great elixir for many ailments and diseases. It is customary for Vedic homes and temples to coat the floors with gomaya, cow dung to purify the environment and invite Divine energies.
