COW PROTECTION IN SANATAN DHARMA

COW PROTECTION IN SANATAN DHARMA ( HINDUISM) ~ the eternal code :  

Sanatan Dharma (सनातन धर्मं)  is a devine code of conduct established by the dearest lord. In it there are various Shrutis Smritis Dharma Shastras who glorify the devinity of cows & fruits of serving them. 

Cows (गऊ माता ), are a symbol of abundance & all sanctity of life on earth, that serves the beings like a mother without asking much in return. It is a part of Ancient traditions to avoid/ reject consumption of beef.  

Hinduism is based on the concept of omnipresence of the Divine, and the presence of a soul in all creatures, including bovines.  

Thus, by that definition, killing any animal would be a sin:  
one would be obstructing the natural cycle of birth and death of that creature, and the creature would have to be reborn in that same form because of its unnatural death. Historically, even Krishna, one of the most revered forms of the Divine (Avatar), tended cows. 


A Cow is said to be the abode of all the Gods. Every atom in cow’s body is abode of the 33 crore Gods. All the 14 mythical worlds exist in the limbs of cow.
