Our cows are amazing moo creatures. They are unmatchable in terms of cuteness and grace. It’s a known fact that cows share a great rapport with human beings. Much like humans and different creatures on the planet, cows are sensitive and playful by nature. They understand the sentiments of others and don’t hesitate to express themselves when they come across someone whom they find friendly and reliable. The active status of cow hugging therapy (also known as cow cuddling therapy) represents the feeling of companionship between cows and human beings.
Have you ever heard about cow hugging therapy (also known as cow cuddling therapy)? Well, in one of the previous blogs, we covered the same, and through this write-up, we will throw light on different aspects of ‘Cuddle a Cow Therapy’ in India.
Cow hugging therapy refers to a new wellness trend in which people visit Gaushala or cow cuddling centers to cuddle cows, love and pamper them, meditate with them, rub them from the back towards the neck and play with them. Doctors, as well as mental health experts from different parts of the world, have quoted Cow Cuddling Therapy as a therapeutic exercise, and it must be practised for better outcomes on the health front. In the last few years, this wellness trend has emerged as a rapidly rising revolution in countries such as the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States.
In India, mother cows have been worshipped and received love & respect since time immemorial. However, a major chunk of the Indian population has forgotten their roots and values associated with the religious and spiritual importance of mother cows. People have become more concerned about Sanatana Hindu Dharma Practices in recent years. Thus, they started connecting once again with the Gau culture.
The pages of history are inscribed with love and affection between Lord Shri Krishna and cows. There was a time when Lord Shri Krishna was regarded as a humble and sincere cowherd. The way he used to express passionate love for cows roaming in his village was a true example of a cowherd-cows unshakeable bond for the current generation and the upcoming generation. Lord Krishna used to play the musical flute and produce pleasing music to pull the cows’ attention. He used to mention the name of cows and calves on the soothing and loving notes of the flute itself. The cow has also been consistently associated with most worshipped deities, encompassing Lord Shiva (whose steed is Nandi, a bull), Lord Shri Krishna (a cowherd since childhood), and goddesses in general (As most of the cows carry maternal attributes).
As per the principles of Sanatana Dharma, cows should be provided with regular baths, must be taken to the temples, and need to be decorated with turmeric, vermilion, and flowers. Let’s hope that this generation will keep alive the sacred feelings for mother cows and preserve them for the next generation.
Cow hugging therapy has turned out to be advantageous for millions of folks worldwide. Hardly there were stories about this trend in India. However, people in our country used to spend time with cows and hug them during the phase when the term cow cuddling was not introduced. You must be aware of their good health and well-being. Now, this generation is taking an interest in this therapy, all thanks to folks residing in rural areas of the Netherlands who turn out to be re-originators for this therapy. Still, our Indian heart knows that we are the real originators behind the cow hugging trend. The point was that this term was not discovered during those days.
