Go-MAHATMYA

[Guest guest]

This morning one Mataji gave me some interesting quotes about the

exellences of the cow.

These quotes from Padma Purana were compiled by Devarisi das Bramachary of

Mayapur.

 

I thought to sare them with you:

GO-Mahatmya

>From Padma Purana 47th chapter

 

In the mouth of the cow reside the Vedas, Vedangas, and Padakramas. In the

horns always reside Hari and Keshava.

 

In the belly Skanda. In the head Brahma. In the forehead Shankara, on the

tip of the horn Indra.

 

In the ears, the Aswinis; in the eyes, Surya & Chandra; in the teeth,

Garuda; in the tonge, Saraswati.

 

In the anus, all the holy places; in the urine, Ganga; in the pores of the

skin, the Rishis. Back of the face (between the horns) Yama or Darmaraja.

 

On the cow's right side, Kuvera &Varuna, and on the left side, powerful and

effulgent Yakshas.

 

On the middle of the face, reside the Gandharvas; and the Parnagas on the

tip of the nose.

In the hind part of the hoofs the Apsaras.

 

In the cow dung, Laxmi resides who is all auspicious, as well as in the

cow's urine.

In the bellowing sound, the Prajapatis.

 

In the udder of the cow reside the four oceans

 

 

-One who takes his food without using any cow product for one month, his

food will be eaten by Ghosts (Pretas) while eating.

 

-All the cow products: urine, dung, milk, and ghee are pure and purify the

whole world.

 

-The products of the cow are the best of all things, the most auspicious.

He, whose mouth does not take cow products, has a stinking body.

 

AGNI PURANAS ch. 292. 2

 

-Cow urine & dung are exellent destroyers of poverty.

 

-Stroking a cow, and the water who touched the horns, destroy many sins of

men.
