In the year 2005, our group of individuals started “VenuGopala Swamy Go Samrakshana Seva Trust” with the sole intention of protecting and preserving aged and disabled cows with the blessings of Sri VenuGopala Swamy
“COW” worshipped as Kamadhenu by Hindus, symbolizes prosperity and wealth. Cow is no doubt a Mother aptly referred as “GOMATHA” – GO means COW, MATHA means MOTHER as she nurtures so ma
ny lives. The milk of a cow is believed to promote sattvic “purifying” qualities. The ghee (clarified butter) from the milk of a cow is used in ceremonies and in preparing religious food. Cow dung is used as fertilizer, as a fuel and as a disinfectant in homes. Modern science acknowledges that the smoke from cow dung is a powerful disinfectant and an anti-pollutant. Its urine is also used for religious rituals as well as medicinal purposes. The supreme purificatory material, panchagavya, was a mixture of five products of the cow, namely milk, curd, ghee, urine and dung. There is nothing that is more sacred or sanctifying than cows. These kind animals serve mankind in many forms and ways right from its birth till its end. WHY COW IS SACRED
Kamadhenu’s complexion is like the white clouds. Every part of cow’s body has a religious significance. Its four legs symbolize the four Vedas, and its teats the four Purusharthas. Its horns symbolize the gods, its face symbolize the sun and the moon, its shoulders Agni (the god of fire), and its legs the Himalayas.
