'Gavarchanaprayogah' - Book Introduction

There is no wealth in the world comparable to godhana (wealth of cows). Cows provide happiness to all living beings in every way, just like a mother. There is none superior to them in the three worlds. This mother, bestowing causeless grace, embodies the four-legged form of dharma and is always and everywhere accessible. To worship such a magnificent, miraculous, and universally available goddess is the foremost sacred duty of every human being. For years, the sentiment persisted that for the scripturally ordained worship of Gomata (Mother Cow), there should emerge an authentic ritual manual equipped with the diverse cow-related rituals found in the Vedas and other shastras, which would act as a shield in protecting the complete Sanatana Dharma and the nation.

In this sequence, this well-organised treatise titled 'Gavarchanaprayogah', crafted through the noble resolve of Pandit Shri Gangadhar Pathak, who is thoroughly proficient in the Vedas and shastras, will render immense contribution to the rise of the nation alongside the preservation and enhancement of cows. The morning remembrance of Surabhi (the divine cow), detailed cow-worship, the outer-circle worship (avaranapuja) of the cow, the garland of gems comprising the 109 names of the cow, the method of chanting the Surabhi mantra, the method of havan (fire ritual), the scriptural discussion of Gonavaratra, diverse soulful Shri Surabhi stotras, and an arati endowed with graceful verses are the distinct features of this book.

For this very purpose, this 'Gavarchanaprayogah' is of supreme utility for various ritualistic methodologies concerning the great goddess Gomata. The authenticity of this treatise shall itself be established in the hands of enlightened cow-devotees. Jai Gomata.. Jai Gopal
