Kamdhenu Is believed to be the
heavenly cow which gives nectar like milk. It is said that gods drink it and
always remain in a state of self-satisfaction, happiness and abundance. The
specialty of Kamdhenu is that the desire of a person approaching it is
instantly fulfilled. Like Kalpa-vriksha, (heavenly tree) Kamdhenu, too,
fulfills the desires of those who approach it with pragya and devotion.
Kamdhenu is another name of Gayatri.
Devata means a person who possesses divine nature. If a person having divine
nature worships this great power, he drinks spiritual milk from the breasts of
the Divine Mother. He is saved from all botherations. The basic nature and
characteristics of the individual soul is happiness. Its main attributes is to
remain bathed in eternal bliss. No sooner does it get rid of ignorance induced
pain and suffering it regains its original nature. Gods in heaven always remain
happy. Man can also remain happy in the same manner on this earth if causes of
his suffering are remove. Kamdhenu Gayatri removes all the sufferings of her
devotees.
Deliverance from Suffering of Three
Kinds:
The causes of all suffering are (a)
ignorance, (b) infirmity and (c) inadequacy. A person becomes happy to the
extent he is able to remove these causes of suffering from within him.
The outlook of a person about the
world gets vitiated on account of ignorance. Being ignorant of his true
identity he gets entangled in a false sense of identity with the transient
phenomena and becomes unhappy. The feelings of selfishness, self-indulgence,
greed, ego, narrow-mindedness and anger deflect a man from his duty. He
abandons far-sightedness, hankers after money, materials, false name and
fame-which are all transient and chimerical. Thus he strays away more and more
from his true self which is the spark of the Divine. This separation from the
source is the original sin. Sin automatically results in suffering. On account
of ignorance he is unable to understand the basic purpose of his life in this
world. Consequently, his hopes, cravings and imaginations know no end. On
account of such a perverted outlook normal ups and downs of life make him
laugh, cry and weep Death of a relative, differences in the tastes and
temperament of colleagues, ups and down and fluctuation in circumstances are
all natural but the ignorant man insists that what he wants much always happen
and he should never be required to face adverse circumstances. When this does
not happen as per his fancies and events unfold contrary to his wishes, he weeps
and cries. Thus, ignorance leads to innumerable sufferings.
