Kathmandu. Kartik Shukla Pratipada and Yamapanchak i.e. the fifth day of Tihar is being celebrated today by worshiping cows and eating sweet food. Worshiping cows as sacred is a practice since Vedic Sanatan times. Cows are respected as cow mothers because the milk given by cows is as nutritious as the milk given by their mothers.
Modern science has also proved that cow is important because the energy of the local breed of cow is given by milk, wheat and cow dung to give energy to people. It is a religious belief that if cows are worshiped and given sweet food on these days, the purity obtained from cows will always be obtained. In some parts of Nepal and some communities, there is a tradition of cow worship on the day of Kartik Krishna Aunsi, but there is a classical belief that cows should be worshiped at the end of Aunsi and at the beginning of Pratipada, according to theologian Prof. Toyraj Nepal.
Vedic Sanatan Hindus have a method of offering cows in every action. In the recent times, the resolution is read as the lack of cows by putting money in the absence of cows. Cows are also respected as cow mothers. The cow is respected as the national animal. There is also a religious belief that if the Rakshabandhan tied on the right hand is tied to the cow's tail after worshiping the cow today, on the day of the full moon of the seventh month, the cow will cross the river Vaitarani to go to heaven after death.
