Why Do the Vedas Say the Cow is Aghanya (Never to be Killed)?

Why is the cow considered sacred in Hinduism? Why is it a sin to kill the cow? The ultra-rare answer given by 3 rishis, which you will not find anywhere else!

Points covered in this video:

  • Why is the cow placed on such a high pedestal of sacredness? Why not other animals like the buffalo, sheep, or dog?
  • What benefit accrues to a person who considers the cow as sacred?
  • The answer lies in understanding the 3 GUNAS (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas), which are the ultra-subtle particles that make up our mind.
  • The GUNA particles cause the variations in temperament in people and in animals. The presence of GUNA particles makes some people good and some evil.
  • Why did the Vedic rishis see the cow in their meditation? What spiritual truth did such a vision convey?
