Step 17
Govu vandana
Do
namaskara to the govu (cow).
But
now a days there are no cows. We are leading a very lifestyle where we are not
able to see the cow or take care of it.
Hence
every day after tulasi vandhana, think of cow and pray
Bharathiramana mukhya Pranarthaga Utgitapinna Gopalakrishna nam:
In
ancients people used to go to cow shed(hati/kotige), nurse the cow with love
and feed them grass. Do pradakshina namaskara.
“Gavan
drushtva namas krutya kuryath yastu pradakshanam. Pradhikshane krutha thena satvat dweepa
vaasundara ”
Which
means if we do pradakshina namaskar for a cow it is equal to doing pradakshina namaskar for this whole earth
with seven islands(satvat dweepa). There are lot of Gods in the cow. Especially
Lord Mahalakshmi resides in cow.

| Go Matha -- sannidhana of 33 crore devathas |
The
cow urine (gomuthra) and cow dung (gomaya) helps to eradicate diseases. It
helps to eradicate Kali. It helps in keeping the house clean, free from bugs,
flies and instects. Our ancestors used
to consider cow and bull as our mother(matha) and father (pitha) respectively.
Our mother usually feed us milk and protect us, the cow does a similar job.
Father gives us food and nourish, the way bulls helped in farming.
We
should pray all the cows as mother and all the bull as father.
Think
of kapila govu. ( It’s a rare breed of cow that belongs to Karnataka). Think of
Gomatha (cow). The cow is sadhu, its
helpful, useful animal. Today sure it’s difficult to kapila govu. So we would
visualize kapila govu.
Why
think of cow (hasu) for a happy life
· It helps
everyone ( Similarly we should also do paropakaara).
· Kind animal
(hence we too should be kind to avaoid our ego).
· There are 33
crore devatas in the cow.
· Where a cow is
present no evil or disease will enter.
· Lord krishna is
present in the cow.
· On the crisp:
Think
of cow and pray
