नमो देव्यै महा देव्यै सुरभ्यै च नमो नम: ।
गवाम् बीजस्वरूपाय नमस्ते जगदम्बिके ॥

Salutations to the sacred mother, the greatest of mothers who lives in the form of a seed in all cows. Salutations to that universal goddess, who is the wish yielding cow (Surabhi - Kāmadhenu).


Among the ‘pancamahā yagñya’ listed in the stipulated 40 samkārā, as per scriptures guiding Sanātana Dharma, one has to perform bhūta yagñya (भुत यग्न्य) as a daily karmā while in grhastāśramā. This means feeding animals and insects (Jīva Jantu) and most sacred amongst bhūta yagñya is Gau Saṃrakṣaṇaṃ.

Gau Saṃrakṣaṇaṃ is done with an intention of protecting and preserving cows. In the Indian context, cows are considered equal to a mother and worshipped. However, it is unfortunate that non-milking cows particularly are not being cared for. While the Dharmā calls for a person in grhastāśramā to worship and feed cows on a daily basis, a need for welfare of the non-milking and disabled cows is considered multifold sacred. In a larger context and to maintain the ecology, it is essential to support and nurture non-milking and disabled cows to protect them from being sent to slaughterhouses or left astray on roads to fend for themselves.
