Gau Puja | Gau Daan | Gau Graasa
Sanatan Dharma has given the Gau (Cow) a very sacred postion in the everyday life. Gau has been given the same status as mother. Gau Pooja or Go Puja has been prescribed as the everyday procedure in the scriptures. Gau Graasa or Gograsa is nothing but the fodder to be provided to the cows. Feeding cows is said to give us a lot of positive vibrations.
PurePrayer walks you through the journey of performing Gau Daan or Cow Daan, its importance and many cow related Pujas.
Performing Gau Puja, Gau Daan and offering Gau Graasa is capable of removing all kinds of sins. Performing these time-tested, proven rituals with the help of experienced Vedic Pandits, Purohits or Panthulu can be a very satisfying experience in life.
Number of cows in possession represented the financial strength of the empire, kingdom and even the commoners. They were even used as a means of exchange. There are many sacred ones listed in Puranas.
How the cows came to earth?
Gau or cows are said to have descended from the Swargaloka (Heaven) from the holy cow Kamadhenu. Kamadhenu the sacred cow is said to be one of the treasures obtained as a result of Amrit Manthan (The Great Churn). Lord Indra the God of all Gods is said to be the keeper of this Kamadhenu. Kamadhenu means the one who can yield anything desired. Kamadhenu was in the possession of Maharshi Jamadagni and Maharshi Vasishtha and many kings tried to take possession of her from these sages. They ultimately faced dire consequences for their actions. We can recall the incidences of Kartiveeryarjun and Kaushik readily. Kamadhenu plays the important role of providing milk and milk products to be used in her sage-master’s oblations; she is also capable of producing fierce warriors to protect him. Kamadhenu is often addressed by name Surabhi. Surabhi means fragrant, charming, pleasing, as well as cow and earth. Nandini is described as the daughter of Surabhi or Kamadhenu.
What Was The Appearance Of Kamadhenu?
Kamadhenu shows her with the body of a white cow, woman’s head adorned with a Kireet (Crown), colourful eagle wings and a peacock’s tail.
Why the Gau or Cow is considered sacred?
Nearly 36 deities have taken abode in the body of a cow and hence it is a sin to harm it. The base of cow horns is an abode of Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu. Lord Shiva resides in the forehead and Goddess Uma resides in the middle of the forehead. The nose is an abode of Lord Ganesh and the nose tip is the abode of Kartikeya (Murugan). Lord Yama resides in the heart, holy River Yamuna resides in cow dung while Goddess Lakshmi resides at the hind part of the cow. The sages, rishis reside in the hair of the cow and other gods reside at the base of the tail. Her four legs are the four Vedas.
