Mr. Thomas,
I agree with you that your opinion can be twisted and turned out of shape by anyone who is bent on doing it. You are a Christian first and a fellow human only next. Your honest and well meaning endeavor to correct the psyche of a Hindu will not be tolerated. Why, even the opinion of a Hindu like me can also be twisted out of context. That is the present state of affairs. Belief, especially religious belief, is wet clay in the hands of the believer. He or she is free to shape it anyway it pleases him/her.
Every religion propagates Ahimsa. Buddhism and Jainism go a step ahead and advocate Ahimsa towards animals and Plant life too. Has anyone taken these teachings seriously? I do not think so. These days religion is a tool in the hands of people. They use it in any way benefits them. Cow is a sacred symbol for a Hindu. Since cow is sacred, by natural corollary, whatever comes out of Cow is sacred too and good for consumption. If any one questions or frowns upon it, then that is a sacrilege.
When I was a child I was taught God protects the interests of the devout. What I now find is 180 degree deviation from this belief. It is the devout who are out to protect the name of the God. They are willing to maim and even kill to uphold the name of their God.
I am confused whether to laugh it off or bemoan the way we behave.
H. Padmanabhan Iyer.

Subject: [www.keralites.net] THe Cow, why do we deem it as holy
"Cow is just an animal like a hen or goat... then why is it revered and why one should not kill and eat it?"
Cow is also an animal, but... a cow has many specialities that no other animal (not even human beings) has in this world.
This is the reason that Hindus consider cow as 'mother' after their own mother, and pray to the cow with respect calling it "go-matha".
These are some truths about go-matha.
If a cow eats something poisonous by mistake, and we drink its milk, will we fall ill? To find out, one cow was regularly fed a particular quantity of a poison every day.
After 24 hours, its blood, urine, dung and milk were tested in a lab to check where the poison could be found. In this way, the tests were done not for 1 or 2 days, but continuously for 90 days in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi. The researcher did not find any trace of poison in milk, blood, urine or dung of that cow.
Then where did this poison fed for 90 days go? Just like Lord Shiva held poison in his throat, the go-matha hid the entire poison in her throat. This is a special quality that no other animal has.
This is the only creature that inhales oxygen and also exhales oxygen.
Cow milk has the quality of countering poison.
There are diseases that medical science has not yet understood; urine of Go-matha has the power to cure them.
If cow-ghee and rice are cooked together, two powerful gases called ethylene-oxide, propylene-oxide are released. Propylene-oxide is the best gas used for creating artificial rain.
Cow-urine is the world's best killer of microbes
With medicines made using cow dung and cow urine, stomach-related ailments can be cured.
We can save ourselves from radio-waves by plastering the home floors and area outside home with cow-dung.
Cow-dung has the power to destroy the microbes causing cholera.
If 10 grams of cow-ghee is put in fire (yagnya), 1 ton of oxygen is generated.
