Gau Daan

Gau Daan Puja

"Gau Daan means the gift of a cow. The shastras hold it as the greatest of all charity. To give a cow is to give a home to all the gods. Tradition says the cow carries the soul across after death. She helps it cross the river Vaitarani to the next world. This daan washes away the heaviest of old sins. It clears negative karma and the fear of the unknown. It is also the remedy for Nadi Dosh in a match. The gift brings the grace of Lord Krishna upon the giver. Devotees perform it before marriage and on holy days. It is one of the surest paths to moksha."
