Respect to Cow


      Dharitri, the earth,  able to give grains, sugar, fruits. She gives that when dug up/kicked by tractors or left alone quietly. She is mother Dharitri. The cow is similar,  it can be beaten up, it feeds on grass, but it knows to give milk, The cow is capable of giving milk just as a mother.

     Multitudes Historical movements are created every moment and are absolved into the great void, the Mahasunya.  Like beats of  Mridang, Like the dance of the Nataraj. What do these heavenly moments observe, asides the splendour of cosmos, infinite tolerance of Dharitri that holds us all...Could the cow with its infinite love, that nourished mankind with milk even while eating grass behold these moments ? Could the cow stand tall for such act of infinite generosity ? Certainbly, yes.

   With holy movements touching her, the gomata is translated as holy mother cow in english.

  After millenniums,  Man recognized the universe to be billions of years old. Other Men had imagined such an universe for millenniums. Such men, worshiped Gomata - the Holy cow - worthy of blessing in this world.

  Unlike the earth, the Mother cow  has  blood , flesh,  she breathes. 

  When men fought wars, exploited over choice, Holy cow knew children, she gave milk.   Men have asserted their taste buds,choice and right to kill lesser animals, still the holy cow knew her child is hungry, she gave milk.

   Such compassion and intent from an animal !
