    Cow, in the Indian culture, is considered to be a Holy animal. She is worshipped as a maternal figure and is a depiction of the bounty of Mother Earth. Lord Krishna, who grew up as cow herder is often depicted as playing his flute among cows and Gopis (milkmaids) dancing to his tunes. Interestingly, Lord Krishna is also known by the name of 'Govinda' or 'Gopala', which translates to the 'friend and protector of cow'. Hence, cows have an auspicious significance in Indian Culture and religion.
    Even Lord Shiva's trusted vehicle is Nandi- the sacred bull. Thus, feeding a cow or making contributions for cow shelters is of immense religious importance for Indians. The Vedic scriptures, in various verses, have emphasised the need to protect and care for cows. Cows are a source of life-sustaining milk. Even the cow dung is an essential and energy-efficient source of fuel, especially in rural India. Killing the cow or consuming cow meat is considered to be a sin. Hence, several states in India have banned the slaughter of cows by law. Mother cow is, however, not worshipped as other deities. The religion and culture of India appreciate and expresses its gratitude towards this innocent animal who gives back to mother Earth and its people in more than one form.

      We have grown by drinking Cow's milk but we are growing our mother by feeding them Garbage.... ua-cam.com/video/8dWZZPtYBjc/v-deo.html
      We are not even capable of feeding our mother but we love and worship them as we have drank its milk...
      Our Mother remain same be it in India or else where we cannot let it get slaughter if the people in other countries does not believe Cow as God...
      We should have complete faith rather then just show-off ( We are the true lovers of goddess Cow ) and we should not have partial belief only in India if we truly love the Cow.

    The sacred cow status is coming from Indo European religion and not based on economy. The cow were so holy that they were sacrificed to the God but it got replaced by horse because Horse became sacred and the Indo European considered Horse as sacred and offered it's meat to the God instead of cow and ate it as Prasad.

    Nice! But please don't forget the many stray cows feeding on garbage, wandering in heavy traffic, badly injured, crippled, left to die a painful death. Develop a garbage segregation scheme and ban disposal of all garbage in the open. If India can fly to the Mars then it can also keep its streets clean of garbage!
    Develop a pension scheme for cows, so that they don't have to wander for food aimlessly in streets in heavy traffic. People who set out cows should be punished by law. There has to be a law regulating the behaviour with the cow.

    Don't say "holy cow." It's a form of worship to satan, who has the face of an ox. He was a covering cherub, before he sinned. Cherubs have either a face of an eagle, lion, ox, or a man, with man's hands, wings, and hoof like feet. Cherubims have 4 faces eagle on one side, ox on one side, lion on one side, and face like a man on the other side. This is were the facination of cow worship originated from. See baal, molech, baphomet, etc = satan worship
    The more you know.

      @Ben Wyatt brother im Hindu from karnataka ..here many if my Hindu friends including brahmin friend eats beef ..we get beef in the centre of city ..although BJP rules here and banned beef still everywhere we get beef ..it's not about banning it's about mentality . U guys think Hindus means North Indians that's the problem ..unlike Muslims Hindus don't have any restrictions ..we can eat anything we want ..we can pray to any god or else we can be secular..that's Hinduism there are many beliefs ..

    Manusmriti 5:30 'It is not sinful to eat the meat of eatable animals, for Brahma has created both the eaters and the eatables', 5:32 'He who eats meat, when he honours the gods and Ancestors, commits no sin, whether he has bought it, or himself has killed (the animal), or has received it as a present from others', 5:39 'Svayambhu (the Self-existent) himself created animals for the sake of sacrifices; sacrifices (have been instituted) for the good of this whole (world); hence the slaughtering (of beasts) for sacrifices is not slaughtering (in the ordinary sense of the word)'.
