SRI GOMATHA NAMAVALI
INTRODUCTION
Kamadhenu also known as Surabhi is a divine goddess known in Hinduism as Gomatha. Kamadhenu is the heavenly cow. She gives good health, wealth, happiness and all sorts of benefits in our life. Kamadhenu is not worshipped as a deity, and there are no temples dedicated to her. But she is worshipped as the divine cow and Hindu’s would do pujas to the cows especially on Fridays, Festival days and on Mattu Pongal festival day.
According to various Hindu texts, it is stated that she emerged at the time of churning of the divine ocean, whereas some references state that she is the daughter of Lord Daksha Bhagawan. Certain texts tell that previously Kamadhenu was in the possession of either Jamadagni or Vashista , and the kings who tried to steal her from the sages had faced severe troubles for their actions. Kamadhenu gives milk and other food products equivalent to the deva loka’s divine nectar
(AMIRTHA) and it is stated that she resides in the Indra Loka, the abode of Lord Indra.
Cow’s milk and its various products are used for Vedic fire sacrifices, and without that a sacrifice would not be concluded.
In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says that “Among the cows, I am the divine cow “KAMADHENU”. Hence she is considered as an aspect of Lord Krishna, since Lord Krishna will used to graze the cattle and looked after it kindly and affectionately during the previous Dwapara Yuga.
In some temples and houses, the pictures of kamadhenu would be worshipped. In Hinduism, cows are considered as sacred animals, and worshipped as an incarnation of Ma Kamadhenu. In general, all the cow related products are used as an Ayurveda medicine. It also cures various diseases, and by worshipping cows, we would get great mental peace and relaxation in our mind and body, which we would not get anywhere else. There are also several private cow sheds and cow sheds in Hindu temples throughout India, in order to protect them from slaughtering during their old age. Since, cow is considered as our affectionate mother, it is our duty to protect and safeguard them till their natural death. Once in a month we can visit the cow sheds and feed with them grass, greens and vegetables and other cow related food items.
