About this ceremony

Sacred Mantra

ॐ

“Om Gloum Gaam Gaumaatre Namah · Sarva Devamayi Gauh”

What it feels like

To bathe and garland the gentle cow, to feed her by hand and circle her with a lamp — the Gau Puja is tenderness as worship. In her calm eyes the tradition beholds all the devatas, and in serving her, a quiet and lasting merit.
