Vasu Baras / Govatsa Dwadashi
Diwali
starts with the worship of cows.
The
first day of Diwali, Vasu Baras is dedicated to the worship of Cows.
Cows
are worshiped by every Hindu as God and we consider them to be at the top of
living organisms in terms of the existence of God. This day is also known as
Govatsa Dwadashi or Vasubaras or Nandini Vrat.
This
festival is majorly observed by people of Maharashtra.
It is
believed that when Gods and demons were churning the ocean(Amrut manthan) for nectar, a cow
called Kamadhenu emerged out of the ocean.
This
Divine Cow, which lives in heaven, was presented to the seven Sages(Saptarshi) by the
Gods, and in course of time came into the possession of Sage Vasishta.
It
has the capacity to fulfill all grants and desires of its owner.
It is
believed that on the day of Vasu Baras, there is an emission of
Chaitanya-filled frequencies(positive vibes) from the cow in the form of Vishnu. Therefore,
those worshiping cows can absorb these frequencies emitted by Vishnu through
His cow manifestation.
Kamadhenu
denotes purity, fertility, sacrifice and motherly nature which adds to the
sustenance of human life.
The
cow is the ultimate Goddess of followers of Sanatan Dharma(Hinduism) and is considered to
impart powerful blessings.
If
worshiped, respected and loved, She has the capacity to grant all wishes and
desires of the owner.
Greetings
to you on the occasion of Vasu Baras.
May
the divine cow fulfil all your wishes.
