Why is the cow sacred to Hindu religion?
1. Cows provide for a great deal in Indian culture, where Hinduism originated. Milk provides for butter, which is very important in many Hindu rituals, especially so for rituals associated with Agni the deva of fire. One such ritual takes place at Hindu weddings. Thus much of what cows provide have deep spiritual significance, not just practical purpose.2. In some Hindu myths the earth, or mother earth if you will, is represented by the form of the cow. It is possible that the literal interpretation of this has had far reaching consequences, but even taken figuratively might lead to the position that cows are sacred.3. The influence of Buddhist vegetarianism in India may also have colored the views of cows in Hinduism.---Cows are sacred to Hindus because they respect all living beings and specially the ones that help them the most. Our mother gives us milk when we are born and cows gives us milk for rest of our lives so Hindus have respect for cows as much as you respect our parents. Hindus don't consider the cow sacred but consider it as their mothers (Gayoo Mata- mother cow). Hindus also respect mother earth, energy of the sun and every great person who did something for the community and mankind.
