In the life of a Hindu the position of esteem after mother is to the cow. If there are no cows then the life of a man could be really complicated. Hence the Lord Brahma, Creator of the Universe after creating the rivers and fire thought of creating something as pure and important but with life from fire by performing the ritual of fire called the homam. Vayuvu (wind) performed homam for body. and as a result of such homam ritual a cow took form. The cow has vedic importance. As the birth of cow was from a fire ritual it is called 'Agnihotram'. When milk is churned we get butter - ghee which is favoured by the Gods. If we posses fertile abundant cows then the land will also be fertile and abundant with crop. House, village, state, nation which has an abundant cow population is a rich country. | ||||||||||
