Bhoomi Daan Puja

Land donation is the non decaying donation for social cause (Revered Pandit Avdhesh Sharma). There is a great importance of land donation for social cause for wandering and grazing in holy tradition in universal Hindu culture. In ved (Hindu scripture) it is called non decaying secreed (punya). The donation which is never completed, destroyed is called akshay. The mother earth is immortal so the land is never destroyed completed or declined so land donation is called non-decaying donation.

In the traditional civilization of Indian management the area of a village or town was divided into equal two parts when it was founded the half of the land area was used for residence, industries, market, agriculture and other use and remaining half of the land area was left for grass land for society called gochar. The place of gomata was considered the highest place in both states of people and Gods. The more king of men and Gods or public go in the shelter or nearer to the cow he will become a greater man or God or an incarnation. In our ancestors there were so many Gods, rishi (hermits) emperors and incarnation who were great cow devotees. They were our ancestors. We are the descendant of those great men live in this nation. So first of all we should be save the grass land or the cows to keep the holy universal gopalan culture alive.



From time immemorial, in India, the Vedic tradition has encouraged an Agrarian based civilization. Cows have always played a pivotal role in the Vedic Agrarian society. The Cow is revered as the most sacred animal to Hindus, a fact that is evidenced by the dedication of several hymns and rituals, reverentially addressing it as GOMATHA (divine mother cow) in all the sacred scriptures including Vedas and Puranas. Gomatha is a symbolic representation of 33 crore Gods who are said to hold positions in various parts of a cows body. As a representation of the divine, all auspicious ceremonies and rituals involve the Cow and its produce. Everything from, milk, butter, ghee, curd, cheese, even the cows dung and urine are considered very sacred in Hindu Vedic tradition.

Gau Daan Puja

The concept of daan
The word “Daan” refers to gifting. Daan is intricately woven with the Hindu tradition and is performed with utmost devotion and belief to attain different goals, which may vary from person to person and context. The concept of daan is comparable to Newton’s third law, “To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. Similarly, there is a saying that “what goes around, comes around” indicating the more one gives, the more it comes back to one. It is projected that gau daan is the biggest daan among all daans. It is believed that gau daan along with daan of gold, silver, emeralds, milk, food grains and land is known as mahadaan.

Way of daan
There is a belief that instead of inviting a needy person to one’s house for offering a daan, going to his house and performing the daan will earn the donor more rich dividends. It is said that the person doing daan should face the east while doing the daan and the person receiving the daan should face the north so as to increases the life span of both the persons. Generally, daan is performed on auspicious days and even time as designated by the astrologer.

Gau Daan
The Sanskrit word ‘Go’ has various meanings like ‘source of food’, ‘symbol of life’ and ‘senses’. The term ‘daan’ means ‘gift’. The expression ‘Gau Daan’ therefore means ‘the gift of a cow’. Gau Daan’, or the gifting of a cow to a Brahmin, is an ancient ritual of our ancestors with its deep roots in philosophy. Since ancient times cows have been donated by kings and other people to Brahmins and others. It is believed that at least one cow must be donated in one man’s lifetime. Generally, gou daan involves gifting a milking cow along with the calf. They are worshipped through puja using all sacred things and flowers and fruits during before the ritual of the daan and then gifted to the Brahmins along with other items at the end of the puja.

Benefits of gau daan
The benefits of gou daan are simply endless. It is believed that there is no other donation in this world comparable to the donation of a cow. Gau daan helps in making a person pure and leads him to attain the highest state of eternal bliss. It is said that donating grains, water, clothes, etc. or offering a cow as a gift to a needy person known to turn enemies into friends. This daan also provides one a peaceful life after death. As per the Hindu beliefs, the Universe is one and anything that one gift to the Universe will ultimately return back to him or her and that is exactly defined as the purpose behind doing daan.
