Hey guys,
I came across this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samadhi
quote:
The whole vicinity lay bare before me. My ordinary frontal vision was now changed to a vast spherical sight, simultaneously all perceptive. Through the back of my head I saw men strolling far down Rai Ghat Road, and noticed also a white cow who was leisurely approaching. When she reached the space in front of the open ashram gate, I observed her with my two physical eyes. As she passed by, behind the brick wall, I saw her clearly still.
You see I knew it..........
I saw this cow she's beautiful..........really white and nice
what really is the significance of this animal.........I assumed it was brahma............at first
Namaste

Hi Neesha
I'm not a scholar on white cows, or much else for that matter. I do think I know the signifigance of Paramhansa Yogananda's seeing of a white cow in the passage you offered from "Autobiography of a Yogi". I believe he was sharing a description of a still state of being, or a samadhic experience. Funny though, cows have been coming up today. Over on a Zen forum there is a discussion about a half of a cow in an artistic display somewhere. I'm not involved in that discussion so couldn't tell you more.
Peace, Alan |

| I've seen no cow, but have experience alterations in vision. Extreme 3d is the only way to describe it. |

| You say "she's beautiful". Being a mother cow perhaps she is a symbol of Divine Mother, creator/provider, pouring out her life-nourishing milk to feed and sustain her children. |

Hi thanks for sharing your view.......but I do not agree with you
I know what I saw and it was not one cow it was a herd of cattle.....with the white one at the front just like in the pictures and it was very real (well to me only ...that day)
A few months after I constantly smelled cow dung and now with Hare Krishna "devotees" people they are surrounded with the same scent..... |
