The fifth day of Kartik Shukla Pratipada and Yama Panchak, or Tihar, is being celebrated today by worshipping cows and eating delicious food.
The practice of worshipping cows as sacred has been going on since ancient Vedic times. The milk given by cows is as nutritious as the milk given by their mothers, so cows are respected as Gaumata. Modern science has also proven the importance of cows as the tusks of local breeds of cows absorb energy from the sun and moon and give strength to humans through milk, wheat and dung.
There is a religious belief that if cows are worshipped and sweet dishes are eaten on these days, the purity obtained from cows will always be achieved. Although there is a tradition of worshipping cows on the day of Kartik Krishna Aunsi in some parts of Nepal and some communities, theology expert Prof. Toyaraj Nepal informed that there is a classical belief that cows should be worshipped at the end of Aunsi and the beginning of Pratipada.
In every act performed by followers of Vedic Sanatan Hinduism, there is a method of donating cows. In recent times, in the absence of cows, people recite a vow by keeping money in their pockets.
Cows are also respected as the mother cow. Cows are respected as the national animal. Today, on the day of Shrawan Shukla Purnima, if the Raksha Bandhan tied on the right hand is tied to the tail of a cow, then after death, the cow will cross the Baitarani River to go to heaven.
