At Ekurga aimed to educate the public on the cultural, spiritual, and environmental importance of cow protection and rearing in Indian society. The cow, often regarded as a symbol of divinity, holds a sacred place in Indian tradition, not only due to its spiritual association but also because of its immense contribution to health, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. The cow provides essential resources like milk, dung, and urine, which are used in traditional medicine, organic farming, and purification rituals.
The session emphasized the cow’s role in promoting a balanced ecosystem. Scriptures and ancient texts were cited, explaining that all deities are believed to reside within the cow, and it is referred to as ‘Kamdhenu’—the fulfiller of all desires. The attendees were also enlightened about Lord Krishna’s reverence for cows and how cow rearing contributes to environmental preservation. The sacred elements derived from cows, such as ghee, urine, and dung, were discussed for their scientific benefits—ranging from disinfecting environments to enhancing soil fertility and even purifying the air.
A significant crowd of 278 citizens from nearby villages attended the programme, showcasing the growing public interest in ethical cow care and its benefits. The camp was well-received and helped foster a deeper sense of respect and responsibility among the local community toward protecting and nurturing cows, in alignment with India’s cultural and ecological heritage.
