PM Modi’s adorable pictures of spending time with the newborn cow, are winning the internet, with several netizens gushing over the Prime Minister’s loving affection for the calf.
Hinduism regards the cow as a sacred animal. In Hinduism, the cow is considered a sacred animal and symbolises wealth, strength, and motherly love. It is believed to be the earthly representative of the divine and nourishing Mother Goddess, who represents fertility and bountifulness. Their milk is believed to have a purifying effect on human bodies.
PM Modi has never been apologetic about his cultural and religious moorings, evidenced by his participation in Hindu rituals across the country. From participating in Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya to various age-old traditions in hallowed temples in Tamil Nadu, PM Modi has displayed he is as religious as an able administrator. Moreover, PM Modi has always been fond of cows, also referred to as gaumata by practising Hindus. Earlier this year, on the occasion of Makar Sankranti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi fed and cared for some cows at his official residence at Lok Kalyan Marg. The pictures had gone viral then wherein PM Modi was seen surrounded by many cows.
