Go Savitri Stotram with Lyrics
The Go Savitri Stotram in praise of Cows whom we revere as Divine beings walking on earth... This is also called Go Savitri Mantram
If we chant this stotram and then smear our bodies with the dust from the places where the hooves of the cow were placed, then we would attain the punyam of having a bath in all the theerthas anywhere, and we would be relieved of all sins.
This Go Savitri Mantram is presented as rendered by Bheeshmacharya to Dharmaputra or Yudhistira during a discussion between the two.
It is said to be part of Mahabhartham...
