I learned from Sadhguru talks that: In India, cows are considered a manifestation of the Mother Goddess and a sacred animal that provides life-sustaining milk, considered the divine or holy offering. Cows are believed to represent the earth and its bountiful resources. They are a symbol of wealth, strength, motherly love, and selfless giving. The veneration of cows is deeply rooted in the history of ancient India. I have much respect for India's culture.
