Sage of Kanchi –

Pranams at the lotus feet of Sri Paramacharya !

Paramacharya continues endless attributes of cow, she is often compared with the Mother Earth for her forbearance, in fact, she is the Universal Mother who has embodied as Earth and cow, Earth has possessed rich mineral and soil, the cow is a source of wholesome milk which has high nutritional compounds, it multiplies the Swathik nature in human beings.  The supplementary products like curd, buttermilk, ghee, butter, cow dung, urine, etc.. are ingredients used for the performance of Vedic rituals as well as for personal consumption,  none of the spiritual or religious rites can be performed without these ingredients, she is the primary source for the existence Dharma in the Universe, so she should be treated in a well manner.  Cows constantly serve human beings like Earth which is the source of rich mineral and soil, therefore it is our responsibility to ensure her safety and protection.  In Dwaparayuga, Mother Earth assumed the form of a cow and appealed to Lord Vishnu, when she was burdened by the demons.  Even though Lord Vishnu has infinite incarnations, Krishnavathara is considered as Poornna Punyavathara, he lived on the Earth like an ordinary human being, he performed all the duties and responsibilities of a cowherd, he protected cows and took good care of them as a cowherd, he underwent all those sufferings, and miseries.  Lord Krishna came down to Earth for the accomplishment of a specific objective, he imparted knowledge of Bhramam, he killed numerous demons, he blessed his staunch devotee Devi Yasodha and Nandhagopa with his childhood pastimes, he performed various amusements in the sacred land of Gokulam and Brindhavan, he performed most glorious Rasaleela with the young maiden of cowherds and Sri Radharani, he crushed the pride of Lord Indhra and Lord Bhrama, he killed Kamasa and liberated Devi Devaki and Vasudeva from the detention,  he married to Devi Rukmini to prove that they are inseparable consorts, whenever Lord Vishnu incarnates on Earth, Goddess Mahalakshmi also follows him,  he performed the role of emissary of Pandava who symbolizes Dharmam, he carried out the role of Gitacharya and charioteer to Arjuna, he established a magnificent city Dwaraka, lived in this glorious city with sixteen thousand and one a hundred wives, once the objective of the incarnation was completed, he returned to the supreme abode.  This is one of the glorious incarnations of Lord Vishnu as a cowherd who protected cows.  Therefore, we should take good care and protection of cows, in every household the cow, should be worshiped and taken care in a good manner; it is the eternal abode of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi.
