Love of Cows (go – prema)

By Madan Gopal Das

Hare Krsna!

What love of cows means – Love of cows means even love for go rasa i.e. cow products. I would prefer to call cow products (urine, dung, milk, etc) as blessing rather than products. In modern day we all have some respect and love for cows. But we drink buffalo milk. We cannot love cows and not love her blessings. These cow blessings (products) are called gavya. Gavya means milk, curd, butter (after churning), dung and urine. Without loving these blessings (products) of cows our love of cows is only half or incomplete. (more…)

Cows in Krishna Lila

By Madan Gopal Das

Hare Krsna!

Srimad Bhagawatam begins with glorifying the supreme lord Krsna. But Sri Krsna in his topmost abode of goloka is absorbed in worship of cows. His abode is centered and named around cows. Krsna lila cannot be separated from love of cows ( go prema).

As soon as Krsna appeared on earth in the jail, his father Vasudev decided to give 10000 excellent payaswini cows in charity. When Krsna reached Vrndavan Nanda maharaj gave lakhs of cows in charity. Sri vrndavan is called gostha. Gostha means a place where atleast one crore (10 million) cows reside. (more…)

By Madan Gopal Das

Hare Krsna!

It is written in smrities (Vedic scriptures) that the glories of all the holy places on surface of earth is less than even 1/16th part of glories of water that has touched the tip of horns of cows. There is process for this. We should sprinkle water with help of Kusha grass and collect the water such sprinkled. Such water is called shingodaka.
