<b>Why is the Cow Sacred to the Hindus?</b> <!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->
The human mother drinks cows milk, and from it produces her milk, which we humans drink at birth. Then at 3 months we start drinking cows milk in a bottle then in cups. We also eat delicious foods made from cowsâ milk. Foods like ice cream, yogurt, cheese, and curd. From our birth to our death we rely on cows milk. Thus the cow is considered a mother as she provides us with nourishing food for life. How can you kill such a mother?
Every time you eat pizza, ice cream, yogurt, and other foods made from cowâs milk, you should be very great full to the cow.
How can you kill a mother that provides nourishing food to you for life?
The cow is also the favorite animal of God, Lord Krishna. Why? Since the cow provides nourshing food to Lord Krishnaâs children, you and me. Lord Krishna is very much greateful to her. Would you be greateful to someone who feeds your children, or would you order them to be killed and eaten?
Lord Caitanya, who was an incarnation of Lord Krishna states in the Caitanya Caritamrta, Adi-lila chapter 17, verses.165-167.
âCow-killers are condemned to rot in hellish life for as many thousands of years as there are hairs on the body of the cow.â
