The Maharashtra government today issued an order declaring the cow as the "Rajya Mata". The order stated that the government has decided to recognize the significance of the cow in Indian culture since Vedic times.
The milk of indigenous cows is deemed suitable for human consumption. Considering the importance of Ayurveda, Panchgavya treatment, and the use of cow urine in organic farming, the cow is being officially declared as the "State Mother".
In India, the cow is revered as a mother and holds a special place in Hinduism, where it is worshipped. In addition, its milk, urine, and dung are considered sacred and are used widely.
Cow's milk is highly beneficial for the human body, and it is claimed that cow urine can cure many diseases.
According to Ayurveda, feeding cow's milk to children aids their growth and helps them develop a calm temperament. In Hindu belief, it is said that all deities reside within the cow.
In ancient history, even Lord Krishna is known to have served cows. There has been a long-standing movement to declare the cow as the "Mother of the Nation."
