Just before going to “What is Gau Pooja (Cow worship), Chintana (Thinking / excogitation), Vatsa Dwadashi (Vasu Baras) | What is the significance of cow Puja?“, let us have a brief some brief information.
Gau means धेनु / ಧೇನು / dhenu, that is, someone who always keeps on giving and giving and giving milk without any expectations from us.
How to do Gau pooja, chintana and other significance : Gau Mata (Mother Cow) is also called as Kamadhenu, Nandini, Surabhi, Susheela, Bahula etc.
Meaning of the above names: 1. Kamadhenu (कामधेनु / ಕಾಮಧೇನು / kāmadhēnu): When we separate this name it becomes, Kama + dhenu. Here Kama means wish and dhenu means giver.
This this, Gau mata (Kamadhenu) is someone who always keeps on giving to human society and she never expects anything from us, even proper food.
Other names given to Kamadhenu is, she is someone who is called as a Sabala (spots present on her body) and Kapila (She is having red eyes).
The different identification given to Kamadhenu are “Kamaduh” (कामदुः / ಕಾಮದುಃ / kāmaduḥ) and “Kamaduha” (कामदुह / ಕಾಮದುಹ / kāmaduha), this means cow is someone from whom all the desired things can be gained.
Kamadhenu is always a giver and has zero expectations from humans. That’s why Gau mata or Kamadhenu is so divine and auspicious and yes, she is definitely ‘Great’.
2. Nandini (नंदिनि / ನಂದಿನಿ / nandini): Nanda means someone who always give bliss, joy, jubilation, delight, happiness, rejoice, etc.
We must all know in Sanskrit ‘Ananda / आनंद / ಆನಂದ / ānanda means, he is the someone who will always be in bliss, happiness, delight etc.
(Bhagavan Sri Vishnu’s one name is आनंद / ಆನಂದ / ānanda, as he is the one who will always be in आनंद / ಆನಂದ / ānanda and he is the one who always gives आनंद / ಆನಂದ / ānanda to all.)
(Bhagavan Sri Vishnu is also known as ‘परमांनद / ಪರಮಾನಂದ / paramānanda’, as he is the one who is always be in ultimate bliss. parama + ananda = ultimate + bliss).
Thus, Nandini = Nanda + ini = Bliss + giver. Nandini is someone who always give bliss to everyone.
3. Surabhi (सुरभि / ಸುರಭಿ / surabhi): She is the one who is been donated / given by Devatas / Suras to Jamadagni Rishi. Surabhi = Sura + abhi = Devatas + Donated / given.
Also, Surabhi means she is the one who has fragrance, divine smell on her body. Similar, Surabhi means someone who has a golden body.
4. Susheela (सुशील / ಸುಶೀಲ / suśīla): She is the one who has high divine temperament. She is always a well conducted. She is on the one who has high moral.
She is the one who is having an amiable temper and other good qualities throughout her life. She is the one who is having very high moral and character. Susheela = su + sheela = Good / high + moral / character.
5. Bahula (बहुल / ಬಹುಲ / bahula): Here bahu + la = Abundant quantity + having / preserving / stored. She is the one who has different divine qualities in abundance.
Also, Bahula means, she is the one who stores divine milk in her body in abundance, so that she can donate it to others.
Now, let us move forward and let us know “How to do Gau pooja, chintana and other significance”:
Gau mata (Mother Cow) in Hinduism has a high symbol of righteousness (Satvika) since unknown time. By doing Gau pooja (aradhana) one will definitely develops the ‘Satvika’ characteristics.
What does Gau pooja (aradhana) includes?
Gau Pooja (Divine worship) | Gau Seva (Divine serving) | Gau Poshana (Looking after like feeding etc.) | Gau Bhakti (Divine devotion) | Gau Rakshana etc. |
All the above mentioned are highly precious and dear to Bhagavan Sri Krishna / Vishnu.
Now, let us consider a shloka from the divine “Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram”:
महेश्वासो महीभर्ता श्रीनिवासः सताङ्गतिः ।
अनिरुद्धः सुरानन्दो गोविंदो गोविदां पतिः ॥ 20 ॥
ಮಹೇಶ್ವಾಸೋ ಮಹೀಭರ್ತಾ ಶ್ರೀನಿವಾಸಃ ಸತಾಂಗತಿಃ ।
ಅನಿರುದ್ಧಃ ಸುರಾನಂದೋ ಗೋವಿಂದೋ ಗೋವಿದಾಂ ಪತಿಃ ॥ 20 ॥
mahēśvāsō mahībhartā śrīnivāsaḥ satāṅgatiḥ।
anirud’dhaḥ surānandō gōvindō gōvidāṁ patiḥ॥ 20॥
Meaning (Colored in pink): Govinda = He (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) is the one who has won over his all Indriyas and also he is the one who always protects Gau (Mother Cow), this means, Govinda is the protector of Gau (Mother Cow).
Govinda = Gov + in + da = Cow + Indriyas + Won. He (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) is the one who without hardship and with ease lifted the gigantic hill called Govardhana Giri (Hill) with His little finger to save and protect the Cows and Cowherds (Gopis and Gopikas).
Also He (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) is the one who is the protector of Earth. Only Bhagavan Sri Krishna is divinely known as Govinda and also he is known as Gopala (The protector of cows).
Let’s continue… Ashwayuja Bahula Dwadashi is reckoned as ‘GoVatsa Dwadashi’ and this day is dedicated in worshipping ‘Gau Mata’.
Here, Vatsa means very dear / offspring and Vatsala means very loving, highly kind, very affectionate. Whereas ‘Vatsalya’ means showing love, warmth etc.
Bhagavan Sri Krishna is called as ‘Gau Vatsala’ and he is the one who shows ‘Vatsalya’ (love, warmth) towards Gau mata (Mother Cow).
Let’s consider this divine shloka:
नमो ब्रह्मण्य देवाय गोब्राह्मण हिताय च ।
जगत् हिताय कृष्णाय गोविंदाय नमो नमः॥
ನಮೋ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ್ಯ ದೇವಾಯ ಗೋಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣ ಹಿತಾಯ ಚ ।
ಜಗತ್ ಹಿತಾಯ ಕೃಷ್ಣಾಯ ಗೋವಿಂದಾಯ ನಮೋ ನಮಃ ।।
namō brāhmaṇya dēvāya gōbrāhmaṇa hitāya ca।
jagat hitāya kr̥ṣṇāya gōvindāya namō namaḥ।।
Meaning of the above sloka: My continuous and repeated namaste (Divine salutations) to the Bhagavan Sri Krishna, who is non other than the Para Brahma.
You (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) are the one who is the well-wisher of Cows and Brahmins. You (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) are the one who is the helper of the whole universe.
You (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) are the one who is Bhagavan Sri Krishna, who is also called with another name Govinda.
Let’s consider another divine shloka:
ಸರ್ವಕಾಮದುಧೇ ದೇವಿ ಸರ್ವತೀರ್ಥಾಭಿಷೇಚನಿ ।
ಪಾವನಿ ಸುರಭಿಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠೇ ದೇವೀ ತುಭ್ಯಂ ನಮೋಸ್ತು ತೇ ।।
सर्वकामदुधे देवी सर्वतीर्थाभिषेचनि ।
पावनि सुरभिश्रेष्ठे देवी तुभ्यं नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
sarvakāmadudhē dēvī sarvatīrthābhiṣēcani।
pāvani surabhiśrēṣṭhē dēvī tubhyaṁ namōstu tē ।।
Meaning of the above sloka: O Gau Mata, you are the one who full fill all the wishes of all and you are the one who give us the divine effects of bathing in all holy waters. O Gau Mata, you are the supreme holy Surabhi and thus please accept my namaste (Divine salutation).
Vedic culture (Sanatana Dharma) always instructs all to worship the Gau Mata (Mother Cow).
It is eternally believed that, all the Devatas / Demigods are present in the divine body of a sacred Gau Mata (Mother Cow) and is admired as a divine mata / mother in animal form.
Gau Mata, also called as Kamadhenu was emerged from the ‘Kshira Sagara’ at the time of churning. Gau Mata (Divine Cow or Dhenu) is considered as one of the Seven Mothers to be revered in the Vaidika Dharma.

Now, let us consider the below divine shloka:
क्षीरोदार्णवसम्भूते सुरासुरनमस्कृते |
सर्वदेवमये मातर्गृहाणार्घ्य नमो नम: |
सर्वमये देवि सर्वदेवैरलड्कृते |
मातर्ममाभिलाषितं सफलं कुरु नन्दिनी |
In Hindu Sanatana Dharma, Gau Mata / Mother Cow is considered as divine and holy. Gau Mata / Mother Cow is a symbol of divine auspiciousness in Hindu Sanatana Dharm.
Bhagavan Sri Krishna says in Bhagavad-Gita (10.28):
आयुधानामहं वज्रं धेनूनामस्मि कामधुक् |
प्रजनश्चास्मि कन्दर्प: सर्पाणामस्मि वासुकि: || 10.28||
ಆಯುಧಾನಾಮಹಂ ವಜ್ರಂ ಧೇನೂನಾಮಸ್ಮಿ ಕಾಮಧುಕ್ |
ಪ್ರಜನಶ್ಚಾಸ್ಮಿ ಕಂದರ್ಪಃ ಸರ್ಪಾಣಾಮಸ್ಮಿ ವಾಸುಕಿಃ || 10.28 ||
āyudhānāmahaṁ vajraṁ dhēnūnāmasmi kāmadhuk |
prajanaścāsmi kandarpaḥ sarpāṇāmasmi vāsukiḥ || 10.28 ||
That is, He (Bhagavan Sri Krishna) is “Kaamadhenu‘ among the Cows – “dhēnūnāmasmi kāmadhuk”.
Now, let us know what Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya): There are totally five products which can be obtained and extracted from a Cow.
They are as given here: 1. Gomutra (cow urine) | 2. Gomaya (cow-dung) | 3. Goksheera (cow milk) | 4. Godadhi (cow-curd), and | 5. Goghruta (cow ghee). |
The mixture of all these five divine ingredients of Gau Mata / Mother Cow is known as Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya).
Since the ‘aadi kalam’ (Grand unknown time), Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya) is been used in all the ceremonies in Hindu Sanatana Dharma.
This Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya) is always divine and highly sacred and also provides the ‘adyatmika’ (Divinely spiritual) purification.
Even today, Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya) is used in Hindu families to purify self physical and mental body, as well as to sprinkle it all across the house after ‘ashoucha’ (Unhealthy, impure etc works).
In today’s modern times, multiple R & D is going on in Ayurvedic science on the healing properties of Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya), as it is a natural medicine for curing numerous diseases.
These Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya) ingredients are considered to have anti-bacterial, anti-septic, and anti-fungal properties.
These Pancha Gavya (पांच गव्य / ಪಂಚ ಗವ್ಯ / pan̄ca gavya) are used widely in production of Ayurvedic medicines.
Go-Padma Vrata : Go-Padma Vrata is one of the austerities advised for ‘Chaturmasya Vrata’ (Four months of Vrata).
This divine vrata is devoted in the worship of Gau Mata / Mother Cow during the four holy months of ‘Chaturmasa’ starting from ‘Ashada Shukla Ekadashi’ and ending on ‘Kartika Shukla Dwadashi’.
Go-Padma Vrata includes the following:
1. Worshiping of Gau Mata / Mother Cow | 2. Cleaning of पशुशाल / ಪಶೂಶಾಲ / paśuśāla (cattle sheds) | 3. Decorating with Rangolis (Kolam) | 4. Drawing a picture of Gau Mata / Mother Cow & Calf and |
5. Filling it up with 33 # Padmas drawn with Rangoli. | 6. Performing 33 # divine circumambulations (pradakshina) around the picture, | 7. Giving # 33 Arghya, Apoopa Daana etc. |
Go-padma vrata (vrat) story: Once upon a time, the divine beautiful dancer Rambha was dancing in Lord Indra Deva’s court. Music, dance and all most everything was going on perfectly and wonderfully in the Lord Indra Deva’s court.
But, suddenly a musical drum was cracked and broken, and thus the rhythm went wrong. Lord Indra Deva requested Lord Yama Deva (The god of Death), to get the musical drum reconstructed using the skin of a living being who never practiced a vrata / divine vow.
Thus, Lord Yama Deva and his men went in search of people who never practiced the vrata / vow in the correct way.
Lord Yama Deva and his men came back and told Lord Indra Deva – Ganga has a rangoli, Gauri has a rangoli, similarly Savitri, Draupadi, Anushya, Arundhati and Saraswati too have rangolis.
But for our surprise, there is no rangoli at Bhagavan Sri Krishna’s sister Subhadra’s house. Thus Lord Indra Deva ordered to bring back Subhadra, cut her skin and fit it to a drum.
After waking up in the morning, Bhagavan Sri Krishna went to Subhadra’s house and asked her “why she have you not drawn a rangoli in front of your house and not observing the vrata”.
Thus Subhadra replied, “I have brothers like Lord Indra Deva and Lord Chandra Deva, a husband like Arjuna, parents like Vasudeva and Devaki and of course you, Bhagavan Sri Krishna, then why should I draw rangoli in front of my house?”.
Bhagavan Sri Krishna his sister Subhadra Devi, that inspite of all these great relationship, she must always draw a rangoli in front of her house that have an eagle, the feet of Bhagavan Sri Vishnu, Sankha, Chakra, Mace, Lotus, Swastik,
Brindavana, Flute, Lute, Drum, Gau Mata (Mother Cow), calf and thirty-three (is it a numerical symbol for the thirty-three crore gods) lotus symbols, Rama’s cradle, Sita’s sari end, Tulasi leaf, Elephants and Guards.
This rangoli must and should be drawn outside cowsheds, similarly in near sacred rivers and ponds, also in front of God’s images and Tulasi brindavana.
Thus, Subhadra obtained hard rock from a hill and mixed it with pearls and corals and made powder of them and drew the rangoli.
Subhadra also offered turmeric, kumkuma and other offerings. Subhadra drew all rangolis due for five years in just one year.
Subhadra escaped the punishment of gods and they finally found an elephant calf that was sleeping with its head towards north. Lord Yama Deva’s soldiers took the skin from the back of the animal and made the drum.
Gau-Savitri Stotram: Gau-Savitri Stotram is taken from the great epic Mahabharata (Bhishma – Yudhishtira samvadam / discussion) – Stotram is given in three languages, that is, Sanskrit, Kannada and English.
