Goseva and Gaushalas are the secret
of Happiness in life
We often face this question in our life that why is Goseva necessary? I mean, "Why Goseva?" Actually once we understand the true meaning of the word "seva". True "seva" is an action meant only for the satisfaction of the one served. However, since the question, "Why Goseva?" is commonly asked, lets understand the value of Gauseva and importance of cow in our happiness and satisfaction of.
Why Goseva is necessary?
In Hinduism, cows are considered to be
sacred and are worshipped as the embodiment of motherly love and kindness. In
fact, cow seva, or gauseva, is considered to be a noble and selfless act of
serving and protecting these gentle creatures. The practice of gauseva is not
only a religious duty but also a way of life for many Hindus. In this blog, we
will explore the importance of gauseva and how it can bring happiness and satisfaction in our lives.
In the 11th (11.11.43) Canto of Shrimat
Bhagwatam Krishna told his beloved cousin Udhava that he can be worshiped by
offering cow grass and other suitable grains. Worshiping cow is equal to
worshiping Krishna. Mahatma Gandhi once said” Cow is the source of progress and
prosperity. In many ways it is superior to one’s mother”.
Gauseva is not limited to simply feeding
and caring for cows; it is a comprehensive practice that involves providing
shelter, medical care, and even rescuing them from harm. The act of gauseva is
based on the principle of ahimsa, or non-violence, which teaches us to treat all
living beings with respect and compassion. It is a way of expressing our
gratitude towards these animals, who provide us with milk, dung, and even
companionship.
Importance of Go-seva
The importance of gauseva can be
understood from the fact that cows have been an integral part of Indian culture
for thousands of years. They are not just a source of livelihood for many rural
families but are also seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Cows are also
believed to be the embodiment of the divine mother, and by serving them, we are
serving the divine.
Gauseva has numerous benefits, both for the cows and for those who practice it. For the cows, gauseva provides them with a safe and comfortable life, free from hunger, thirst, and disease. It also helps to preserve the genetic diversity of Indian cows, which is essential for the sustainability of our agricultural system. By protecting and nurturing cows, we are also helping to promote ecological balance and sustainability.
Why Gandhi Preferred ‘Goseva’ To
‘Goraksha’
For those who practice gauseva, it is a
deeply fulfilling and satisfying experience. It brings a sense of peace and
contentment, knowing that you are doing something selfless and noble. It also
helps to develop a sense of responsibility and empathy towards all living
beings, which is essential for leading a meaningful and purposeful life.
In addition, gauseva also has numerous
health benefits. Cow milk is rich in nutrients like calcium, protein, and
vitamin D, which are essential for our overall health and well-being. Cow dung and urine are also used in Ayurvedic medicine for treating a variety of
ailments and improving our immune system.
Thus, gauseva is an essential part of
Hindu culture and has numerous benefits for both cows and humans. By practicing
gauseva, we are not only fulfilling our religious duty but also contributing to
the well-being of our society and environment. Without gauseva, there can be no
life satisfaction and happiness in life. So let us all make an effort to
protect and serve our gentle and kind bovine friends, and in doing so, find
true joy and contentment in our lives.
One Gaurakshashala serving the cows
In earlier days all most all houses had
cows and hence Goseva was an essential part of life. In recent times, in view of the migration to
cities, Goseva has not been possible though not forgotten. Therefore, there is
a need to establish Goshalaas where cows can be maintained in a good
environment. This has to be a community effort rather than individual effort.
