Cow Our Mother

Cow is treated as mother in India as it bestows lifemilk to the public and inevitable aid in essential agricultural operations. Apart from that cow is a pious symbol of great Indian religious culture that has gained universal fame.

TTD has taken up this work with pride to bring out various aspects on cow that draw our attention for study, utility and respect for revival of ancient fervour. Several facets which are specified in this as topics are : ‘The Cow as Worshippable Mother’, ‘The Cow in the Vedas’, ‘Cows of Indian Origin’, ‘Movements for Protection of Cow’, ‘The Fruits of donating a Cow’, ‘Gopadmavrata’, ‘Gomati Vidya’, ‘Panchagavya Specialities’, ‘Cow Dung, Cow Urine - Economics and Medicines’ and the like. The descriptions are vivid and valid.

Material is collected from several resources such as "Panchagavya Ayurveda Chikitsa" published by Govigyan Anusandhana Kendram, Devalapar Nagapur; Aavu-Aarogyam compiled by Dr. N.Ganga Satyam Raju for Viswamangala gogram yatra, A.P and "Gorakshana Enduku? Ela?" compiled by Manjira for Viswa mangala gograma yatra, A.P, Hyderabad, all in Telugu. We thank Sri Yadagiri Rao, Kshetra Goraksha Pramukh V.H.P for, permitting us to use the matter in the books published by Viswamangala Gograma Yatra, Andhra Pradesh. And on behalf of the Devasthanams we express our gratitude to the said publishers and anthologists. The English Translation is well spelled out into readable English by Dr.T.Viswanadha Rao, Retired Professor, Kakinada.

I hope that English readers would very well appreciate this sweet task.
