As per our Hindu scriptures, protecting cows (गो संरक्षण) has been a remedy for the following:

•  pitru dosha (पितृ दोषः – ancestral or paternal affliction). Pitru dosha is thought to arise when there is an imbalance in fulfilling duties towards ancestors, often believed to affect family harmony and prosperity.
  
• abhichara dosha (आभिचारिक दोषः / काला जादू / சூனியம் / மாந்திரீக வேலை – a dosha often associated with negative energies, curses, or black magic).
  
• Rahu Ketu / Sarpa dosha (राहु केतु / सर्प दोषः) – dosha caused by bad placement of Rahu or Ketu in the native’s horoscope or when the person is running not so beneficial.

Above issues can manifest as many difficulties in a person’s life in one or more aspects of life – family relationships, delayed childbirth, missed opportunities for growth, financial difficulties, and health issues – both mental and physical.

According to Hindu scriptures, cows are seen as sacred beings that embody purity, goodness, and divine protection. They are associated with various deities, including Lord Krishna, who is known as Gopala (protector of cows), and Kamadhenu, the divine cow that fulfills wishes. The belief is that caring for or protecting cows generates positive karma, which can counteract the negative effects caused by abhichara dosha, rahu ketu dosha, and remedying pitru dosha.

In texts such as the Garuda Purana and Skanda Purana, there are references to the sacredness of cows and their protective power against negative influences and pitru dosha related difficulties. The puranas mention that performing rituals like goseva (serving cows) or godaana (donating cows) can aid in purification and help individuals overcome difficulties, illnesses, and other issues associated with abhichara, rahu ketu dosha, and pitru dosha.
