How Feeding our Gaumata Can Bless You
with Divine Grace
According to our scriptures, food donation
is the biggest charity in the world. Because no one can survive without food.
This world is made of food only and with the help of food only its creations
are being followed. Food is the only thing that satisfies the body as well as
the soul.
If we talk about the best kind of food
donation, then there is no greater virtue than feeding food to a cow. It has
also been said in the Vedas that feeding fodder to cows and bulls is equivalent
to feeding the gods. That is why we have an age-old tradition of feeding the
first roti made at home to mother cow.
To give a more comprehensive form to this
tradition and to provide adequate food to destitute mother cow, Shree
Krishnayan Desi Gaushala has taken the responsibility of providing food to
about 18000 cows.
However, the glory of this food donation
is also because in Hindu religion cow has been given the status of mother. It
is said that all the Hindu deities reside in the cow. Not only this, mother cow
was described as a visible deity. It is said that feeding a cow is like feeding
all the Gods and Goddesses of the universe.
Attain victory and opulence
Describing the importance of mother cow,
it has been said that giving water to mother cow is like satisfying all the
gods and goddesses. By circumambulating the mother cow and paying obeisance to
her, one gets the fruits of pilgrimage. All the Gods and Goddesses have found a
place inside the mother cow.
The person who regularly donates food to
the cow, gets all the fruits of the world. According to one's ability and
convenience one must donate some food. This gives ultimate welfare.
It has also been said in the Mahabharata
that the virtue that is there in performing a yagya is achieved only by
offering fodder to mother cow.
According to Vishnudharmottar puran, the
person who gives food to the cow or donates fodder or bread for the cow daily.
Any trouble of his automatically changes the way. One who offers food to a cow
before eating his own food, attains victory and opulence.
Akshaya Tritiya and the glory of serving Gaumata
It is believed that the cow was very dear
to Lord Krishna, so it is said that on the days or festivals dedicated to Lord
Vishnu, the cow must be served. Lord Shri Krishna is also an incarnation of
Vishnu, so service to mother cow is mandatory even on the occasion of Akshaya
Tritiya.
On the festival of Akshaya Tritiya, the
glory of serving mother cow has also been said. The most important part of this
service is feeding the cow. By the way, many ingredients are described in the
scriptures to feed the cow. But on the day of Akshaya Tritiya, if you feed
green vegetables or green grass to the cow, then it is considered very
auspicious.
Help us to feed Gaumata
Our main objective in this Gaushala is to
provide adequate food and shelter to those who leave the mother cow destitute
or those who leave the non-milch mother cow destitute. One of the reasons for
the birth of Lord Krishna has been the cow service of the ancestors. The naming
ceremony of Lord Krishna also took place in the Gaushala. Shri Krishna also
learned to walk by holding the tail of the calf. God awakened the cows to
protect nature. God's home is the Gaushala. That's why we should make our life
successful by cooperating in the service of the cows growing up in the
Gaushala.
We hope for the cooperation of all of you
donors, because until you do not give food to the destitute mother cow, how
will she survive? In the Gaushala, we are doing Gauseva to the best of our
ability. With your cooperation, we will be able to feed more cows.
So come, and cooperate in providing straw,
fodder, grains to Gauseva and get the blessings of mother cow.
