Why cow is a symbol for sacrefice?
The cow is a mother to mankind whom we should love, respect and protect.
(i) Her milk sustains the life of many species, including humans.
(ii)Her dung provides fuel and bricks for millions of rural families across the Asian countries.
(iii)Her urine is medicine for the sick.
(iv)When she dies her skin provides us warmth and protection through clothing.
(v) The cow symbolizes the dharma itself. It is said to have stood steadily upon the earth with its four feet during the Satyayuga (world's first age of truth), upon three feet during the Tretayuga (the second stage of less than perfection), upon two feet during the Dwaparayuga (the third stage of dwindling and disappearing perfection) and only on one leg during Kaliyuga (the fourth and current age of decadence).
