GAU MATA: Prayers, Painting, and Essay

(3 min read)

This blog presents two prayers for GAU MATA, one by a gau bhakt, and another by ChatGPT; a painting by DALL-E; and an essay by an unknown author.

Three chantings daily of the prayer composed by the gau bhakt alongwith ceremonial worship of GAU MATA will absolve all past sins, and shower GAU MATA’s limitless blessings, subject to the condition that the worshipper is a true bhakt of Bharatiya Cow, and sincere in his/her prayer.

Benefits may also accrue from chanting of ChatGPT prayer, but further  details may be obtained from ChatGPT.

GAU MATA Vandana

(GAU MATA refers only to those Bharatiya ‘native’ cows who are direct descendants of Kamdhenu! This prayer should not be offered to cash-cows like Holstein Friesian, Jersey, and other foreign cows, the author has advised.)

O GAU MATA! Holy Mother!

Nourishing your calves, and

Your human children,

With Amrit from your bountiful udder,

Never complaining about insufficient fodder;

Giver of panchagavya,

To purify the sinners,

Covid kept at bay with Gobar-snan,

Life-long immunity granted with Gaumutra sevan.

During our life, O Kamdhenu,

You blessed us with your munificence,

After our death,

Only your sturdy, reliable tail

Enables a safe swim across the tumultuous Vaitarani;

O Jeevandayini,

O Mokshapradayini,

We offer sashtanga dandavat, i.e., prostrate salutations,

Bless us with health, wealth, peace, prosperity, and

All other mundane human expectations.

Essay on Cow by IAS aspirant

The following is an essay by an IAS aspirant, a source claims. The candidate reportedly passed the UPSC exam. A reliable source in the UPSC, requested for a fact-check, regretted for lack of information regarding the year of the examination, and the Roll No. of the candidate.

The cow is a successful animal. Also he is quadrupud, and because he is female, he give milk, but will do so when he is got child. He is same like God, sacred to Hindus and useful to man. But he has got four legs together. Two are forwards and two are afterwards. “His whole body can be utilised for use. More so the milk. What can it do? Various ghee, butter, cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth. Also he is useful to cobblers, watermans and mankind generally. “His motion is slow only because he is of  asitudinious species. Also his other motion is very useful to trees, plants as well as making flat cakes in hand and drying in the sun. Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding after eating. Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass. “His only attacking and defending organ is the horn, specially so when he is got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards. “ He has got tails also, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the flies which alight on his cohoa body whereupon he gives hit with it. The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts his eyes like his relatives, the horses does not do so. “This is the cow.”

Some people believe that the same officer may have drafted the APPEAL for Cow Hug Day! The remarkable improvement in his writing ability is owing to the regular, rigorous, and compulsory  in-Service training mandated by DoPT; though it is still work in progress.

APPEAL for Cow Hug Day

Animal Welfare Board of India (Bharatiya Jiva Jantu Kalyan Board) issued an APPEAL on 6th February 2023 for celebration of 14th February 2023 as Cow Hug Day (Gou Aalingan Diwas). The text of the circular is quoted below:

We all know that the Cow is the backbone of Indian culture and rural economy, sustains our life, represent cattle wealth and biodiversity. It is known as “Kamdhenu” and “Gaumata” because of its nourishing nature like mother, the giver of all providing riches to humanity.

Vedic traditions are almost on the verge of extinction due to the progress of west culture over time. The dazzle of western civilization has made our physical culture and heritage almost forgotten.

In view of the immense benefit of the cow, hugging with cow will bring emotional richness hence will increase our individual & collective happiness. Therefore, all the cow lovers may also celebrate the February 14 as Cow hug day keeping in mind the importance of mother cow and make life happy and full of positive energy.

This issues with the approval of competent authority and on the direction of Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying.

AWBI Circular Dated 10.02.2023

“As directed by the Competent Authority and the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, the appeal issued by the Animal Welfare Board of India for celebration of Cow Hug Day on February 14, 2023 stands withdrawn."
