perform duties spontaneously without expecting rewards! The behavior
of trees, flower plants and the cows remind the Hindus to follow their
examples! I cannot think of any more valid reason treating cows as
sacred! The fundamental goal of ancient traditions, customs and beliefs
was to conserve the environment and hence the nature was considered
SACRED!
I'm sure all of this sounds quite "good" to Vaishnavas. However, this
Shaivite would like to pose the following questions:
1) In this case certainly the notion of sacredness cannot
preclude consumption of said sacred entity. Unless of course
Mr. Chandran would insist that man cannot eat trees or
plants which would simply disallow farming altogether.
2) Second Mr. Chandra says that it is all symbolic. If it is symbolic,
then why bother applying it to "real" cows ?
