IMPORTANCE OF “COW” IN REGVEDIC SOCIETY
1-The cow seems to be the most important form of wealth.
2-Most wars were fought for cows.
3-The term for war in Rig Veda is Gavishthi or search for cows.
4-Duhitri is a word for daughter, which literally means one who milks cows.
5-The term Aghanya, or not to be killed has been used for cow. This indicated cow’s economic importance.
6-Primarily a military leader, the King fought for cows and not for territories
7-Guests were called Goghana, which indicates that beef was offered to them.
8-The gift made to priests usually consisted of cows and women slaves and never of land.
"Goghana" if you know sanskrit means: Go-cow and ghana - ghee. Only keralites who are uncivilized can interpret that it is cow meat and also openely dare to say it as a Rig vedic statement. Please do not propogate wrong things if you do not know things.
ReplyDeletecorrect sir.thanks
DeleteInterestingly , Kerala is the highest educated state. To suggest that ''Keralites' don't know what they are talking about is laughable. It is a historical fact that Go-ghana means a guest who is fed on beef. Only after the Buddhist declaration of 'ahinsa paramo dharm' did the brahmans of India came to their senses and started propagating the 'cow as mother' dictum in self-defense, another laughable thing, by the way.
DeleteThen how does the meaning of the word aghana = not to kill fit in?
DeleteDon't be blind.
I agree with some name fully. Keralites are not uncivilized. All the indices shows to the contrary. Only a blind person can make comments like the one posted by Bharat.

Interestingly Kerala is the highest educated state of India. Bharat Chandra's accusation of them not knowing what they are talking about is thus, laughable. Anyway, it is a fact that go-ghana refers to a guest who was fed on beef. Only after Buddhist declaration of 'Ahinsa paramo dharm' did the Brahmans amend their own and started propagating cow as 'mother', another thing which is laughable.
