cow protection

    0.07 sec.

cow protection

In Hinduism, the special protection and respect accorded to cows and bulls. Hindus believe that it is wrong to kill or harm any animal, since all living things are part of the same atman (universal spirit). Cattle are seen as the givers of plenty, since they provide milk and work in the fields to make agriculture possible. They are honoured in the same way as parents might be.
