Importance of Gau Seva from the Scriptures

Whoever feeds the cow with grass and water every day derives the benefit equivalent performing Ashwamedha yajna. There is nothing to doubt about this …(Brhat Paraasara Smriti 5.26-27.)

The Gautamiya Tantra says, “One should gently scratch the body of a cow, offer her a mouthful of green grass and reverentially circumambulate her. If cows are maintained nicely and comfortably Lord Gopal will be pleased,”

“Offering respect to the cows will help the devotee to diminish the reactions to his past sinful activaties” – Skanda Purana
