Rasa Dhenu Daan

First of all,the area is purified by coating it with cow-dung after which a black deer-skin is spread on it

alongwith 'kusha grass'.Two pots-one large and the other a small one are placed side by side.These

pots are filled with sugarcane juice and symbolize 'Rasa-Dhenu' and the calf.Four sugarcanes

symbolizing the four legs of 'Rasa-Dhenu' are fixed at four corners.After that,one small silver piece is

placed at the base of each of the sugarcanes symbolizing hoofs.Rasa-Dhenu is then adorned with

colourful cloths and flowers.Again,four small pots filled with sesame seeds are kept at the four corners

near Rasa-Dhenu.After the worship is accomplished,Rasa-Dhenu is donated to a brahmin.A person

who donates Rasa-Dhenu is liberated from all his sins and all his ancestors as well as the generations

to come attain to the Heaven.

Gud-Dhenu Daan

As it is amply clear by the name,in this ritual some jaggery is taken and given the shape of a cow and a

calf.The land is purified by coating it with cow-dung.After that,a black deer-skin is spread on that

purified area.Some kusha grass are then spread on the dear-skin and covered with a piece of

cloth.Now,both the idols of cow and it's calf are worshipped with appropriate rituals after which they are

donated to brahmins.A devotee should also should also donate shoes,umbrella and if possible,a gold

ring to brahmins.Donating a Gud-Dhenu enables a man to attain to such divine world where sages and

hermits dwell.By doing thus,he also liberates his ancestors and the future generations.
