Mother Cow with all Devatas - By Brahmachari Girish Ji

Mother Cow with all Devatas

Taken from Monthly Kalyan, June 2026

 

If we consider the divine nature of cow from the scriptures, then it becomes clear that in every organ of body, in every hair of its body, is the abode of the Gods. That is why it has been said-

Sarvadevmaye Devi Sarvadevairlankrite

Matarmamabhilashitm safalam kuru nandini

 According to the scriptures, cow is not an animal, sesame is not an ordinary grain –

'tilan na dhaanya pashvo na gavah' is the nectar noun of cow's milk. What's more, cow urine and dung make the impure body pure; to make the impure place sacred, cow urine and cow dung are used for sprinkling and applying on floor. The place where Mother Cow resides, becomes sacred because it is the place of all Gods and the place of pilgrimage. It is easy to get rid of sins by donating cow; there is no limit even to earn good karmas.

 In the Ashvamedh Parva of the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna, while describing the form of mother cow as the most divine and the place of pilgrimage, says -

'O king! At the time when Kapila cow is donated to an Agnihotri Brahmin, Vishnu and Indra reside in the upper part of its horns. At the root of the horns reside the moon and the Indra. Brahma resides between the horns and Lord Shankar resides in the forehead. Ashwini Kumars reside in both the ears, Moon and Sun in the eyes, Marudgan in the teeth, Saraswati in the tongue, Munigan in the pores, Prajapati in the skin and all four Vedas including Shadanga Pada and Krama reside in the breaths.

 Fragrances and fragrant flowers reside in the nostrils, all the Vasuganas reside in the lower lip and fire resides in the mouth. Sadhya Deity resides in the room, Parvati resides in the neck, constellations on the back, sky in the place of the stomach, all the places of pilgrimage in the Apana vayu, Ganga Ji in urin and Goddess Lakshmi, endowed with eight blessings, resides in the cow dung. The most beautiful Jyestha Devi resides in the nostrils, ancestors reside in the buttocks and Bhagwati Rama resides in the tail. All the Vishwadevas are situated in both the ribs and in the chest resides the happy Shakti-dhari Kartikeya. Five Vayus reside in the knees and thighs, Gandharvas reside in the middle of the hooves and snakes reside in the front of the hooves. The four oceans full of water are its four udders.

 In ancient times, Swayambhu Brahmaji had created Kapila Gau after collecting all the fire from Agnihotra and light of Brahmins. Kapila cow is the most sacred among the sacred things, the most auspicious among the auspicious things and the most virtuous of virtues. She is the best penance among penances, the best fast among fasts, the best charity among donations and is the inexhaustible cause of all. Brahma Ji, the Creator of the Universe, has created Kapila Cow to save the world by extracting the light from all the holy places of pilgrimage and temples on earth and all the sacred and beautiful things in the world. Kapila is light of complete brilliance. She is nectar-like, pure, purifying and excellent.
