Gau Daanam
A Gau (cow) is considered as one of the sacred animals in Hinduism. It is said that, all the deities mentioned in the sacred texts reside in the different body parts of the gaus, hence worshiping a gau is equal to worshiping all the Gods.
A gau is said to have descended from the Lord’s abode of Vaikuntha (Maha Vishnu). Giving away a gau as daanam is the biggest of puniya (good deed).
Gau Daanam or Donation of a Gau is generally seen as three parts:
- Giving away the gau (Govu Daanam)
- A cloth to cover the gau (Vastram)
- Monetary donation to buy fodder for the gau
Kings and landlords those days gave away gaus as Daanam to ward off their negative effects and also gain blessing all across.
Who should do this? Any individual who is looking for peace, health and prosperity.
When to do this? Auspicious Ceremonies, Birthdays and Anniversaries not limiting itself to any occasion.
Benefits of doing this: Gau Daanam can:
- Relieve oneself from all kinds of planetary afflictions in birth chart
- Absolve sins of one’s present and past lives
- Bring peace and blessings of the forefathers
- Grant all kinds of happiness, prosperity and success (Sakala Aishvarya Prapti)
- Help achieve all kinds of desirable goals on time without obstacles (Sakala Karyasiddhi)
- Help children acquire knowledge and brilliance in academics (Vidyaprapthi)
- Lead to timely and happy marriage, birth of a healthy child, freedom from diseases and afflictions
- Help mitigate the malefic effects of Sade-Sati (7 ½ year period of Saturn), Ashtama Sani (Saturn in the 8th house) and Ardhashtama Sani (Saturn in the 4th house)
- Overcome Rahu / Ketu afflictions in birth
- Ward off enemies and bestow divine grace of Goddess Lakshmi
Gaus (cows) are the most beloved companions of Lord Krishna, the cowherd or Gau-Pala. Following Him, our forefathers adopted protecting and serving cows as an integral part of our culture and tradition. However, the corrupting influence of Kali Yuga has blemished these traditions and rendered cows and bulls unprotected from slaughterhouses and illegal transportation. Bringing back the tradition of cow protection is the Sri Radhe Rani Gokulam Project’s mission.
Sri Radhe Rani Gokulam Project has different seva schemes available, to ensure the participation of everyone in the noble act of Gau Daanam. All schemes are inclusive of food charges, electricity, labor charges and medical expenses for maintaining cows.
