Hindus and the Holy Cow



An ancient and complex religion with no single founding Hindu prophet or religious leader, there were numerous Hindu sects but Hinduism had no clearly delineated religious organization.

Hinduism was a family of myriad faiths that range from an absolute monistic triad, (Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu, the Preserver, and Shiva, the Destroyer) to a pluralistic Hindu theism (the Supreme Being manifests as many gods and goddesses).

The scriptures and Vedic hymns of the Hindus espouse many different viewpoints on Ultimate Reality but there are still many beliefs shared by all Hindus. One of them was their reverence for their Animal Totem, the Holy Cow which was depicted in temple statues.

The mentors and benefactors of ancient Hinduism were Pleiadian Star Teachers from the ancient Culture of Lemuria. The Pleiadian Shamans relocated to the Pleiades prior to the sinking of Lemuria.

Most of Hinduism oral traditions and storytelling arose from Pleiadian traditions and spiritual teachings. Many of the immortal. spiritually evolved goddesses and gods depicted as divinities in the Hindu Classics and the Vedas were human beings Pleiadian lineage.

The Lemurians who founded the Pure Land and Paradisiacal Garden on the continent of Lemuria were original Pleiadian Shaman Journeyers from the Stars.

They were also the founders of the Ancient Culture known as Mu by some because its sounds like the cow call of Moo. The cow/bull was the planetary Animal Totem for the benefactor mentors on Lemuria.

In the Hindu Vedas of India, the killing of the cow/bull was prohibited. It was recognized as a Sacred Animal Totem of the Hindus.

A gentle loving animal, the cow has unselfishly provided humanity with sustenance in the form of milk and milk products like cheese for millenium.

The majority of the people on this planet including the Hindus have the Cow/Bull as an Animal Totem. To harm one's Animal Totem by slaughtering it for food or any other reason whatsoever brings on great misfortune, according to the karmic cycles of cause and affect.

Many of the benefactor mentor Hindu deities were depicted as cows. For instance, Vac was a Hindu sacred cow progenitor goddess and guardian of the Vedic spoken word. She was mentioned as the original creator of the four Vedas.

Revered from about 1500 BCE until the present day, she was depicted in reliefs and sculptures either as a graceful woman attired in gold garments or as a cow. Vac Aditi was portrayed as Vac in ancient hymns as being the epitome of the quintessential soma sustenance of all truths and visions. Hindus believed that this immortal substance sparked Brahman Consiousness into full lotus blossom manifestation.

She was also known as the Hindu Vedic cow goddess Aditi, who was the immortal personification of solar radiance and a source of primordial creativity. She was the benefactor mentor of all the Vedic aspects of communications including hearing, speech, sight, and writing.

Mentioned in the Vedas and other Hinduism writings, she was portrayed in the guise of a cow guardian who cleared away obstacles and brought forth prosperity.
