'Gauvatsadvadashi' is the glory of Gaupuja

Bharatiya culture is not only the culture of Vedas or Aryan culture. But it is truly human culture. Which has been suggesting us to look at human and non-human creation with love and respect. A human being is called a true human being only when he thinks of other human beings and animals, as well as shows affection and intimacy towards them. But considering the inability, limitation and impossibility of man to love the entire creation, our sages have ordered Gaupuja as a symbol of the animal kingdom.

Aso Vad Baras is called 'Gauvatsadvadashi'. Gauvats means cow and calf. Draw a picture of a cow with a calf on this day. It is a statement of faithful worship. This vow fulfills all the desires of human beings.

'Sing only trust:' means cow is the mother of the real world. His body is the abode of all the gods and goddesses. Cows are also highly glorified in the Vedas and Puranas. There is no other innocent creature on this earth like a cow. Five cows - Nanda, Subhadra, Sushila, Bahula and Surabhi - were produced during the churning of the sea. These cows are considered to be the fulfillment of human desires. A mixture of cow's milk, ghee, curd, cow dung and cow urine is called 'Panchgavya'. Which are believed to benefit human beings physically, mentally and spiritually.

Gaupuja is very important as a vow. In the Agni-Purana, Brahmaji showed Narada that one who circumambulates a cow once and bows down to it becomes happy and enjoys the bliss of heaven. The man who wakes up in the morning and touches the cow and her ghee. He is freed from complex sins. In this regard, the fast of drinking hot milk for three days is called 'Tapta Krishna Vrat' which is the one who alleviates all sins and attains Brahmalok. If these three things are taken cold in the same order, it is called 'Shitakrichchhavrat'. Which is considered to be the provider of all happiness. Bathe with cow urine every day for one month and consume cow's milk. Serving the cows and feeding the cows only after they have been fed fodder - such a practice makes a person innocent and goes to the best world.

From the point of view of Indian culture, cow is a virtue. With Gauseva, Gaudan, Gaurakshan and Gaukirtan, man saves not only himself but also his clan. The service of the cow provides the same virtue as Ashwamegh Yajna. The cow is always revered. Thirty-three crore deities reside in his body. Lord Krishna in the Gita - 'Among the cows I am Kamadhenu.' Saying this, the cow has considered herself a genius. The chewing quality of cows is noticeable. Even if we don't immediately accept some thoughts and opinions, let's chew like a cow, that is, think about it .. If we meditate, we will find new thoughts .. There is nothing more sacred in this world than a cow. The cow should be circumcised and worshiped. By which man becomes free from complex sins, happily enjoys the bliss of heaven and goes to the best world.

Today, when the monks and religious people call for saving Godhan, man should adopt the cow and take care of it. Virtue can also be attained by doing Gaudan today.
