( The word Bhratrivyaghni is a very important Vedic attribute of the cows. It is of great a relevance to modern society. Keeping and serving cows, enjoying the bounties of good productive cows, gives a cool temperament to people. Society is more tolerant and inclusive. Brother does not fight with brother. Neighbor does not fight with neighbors. More intolerance is observed in societies which do not have tradition to live on Cow's milk

Cows are provided with comfortable water beds to sit and lie down. These water beds are found to increase milk production by nearly 10%. Quiet clean environments with, soothing music makes cows happy. Cows give better milk yield. Affectionate care is provided for highly productive cows. More green pasture feeding of dairy cows is being practiced. Specially Alkalized water is made available to the cows. Water fountains are fitted for each cow so that she can take drink of water, whenever she wants. It should come as no surprise that our Vedas suggest the same strategies for keeping good happy cows to get their blessings.

They may be beef eater . But they eat beef of very well kept, healthy well fed, well looked after cows. Beef cows are not meant to be high milk providers. In India we only pay lip service to cows. We allow our cows to suffer great agony, and starvation. We allow our cows to eat filth on road side. Our cows should be looked after well, given good feed, kept clean and happy. Cows will give their blessings to us in the form of plenty of milk and organic agriculture produce. It will provide our society with the temperament, strength and prosperity to be world leaders. The aura of our society will be so powerful that no individual will dare to slaughter a cow. Killing a cow will have the same consequences as killing of one's own mother.)
