Puranic tradition praises Magha as a month when pilgrimage, river bathing, and charity yield multiplied merit. Magha Purnima is also associated with Ravidas Jayanti in many calendars, adding a devotional remembrance of humility and service.
Gau Seva on Magha Purnima extends the month's discipline into living compassion. Feeding cows after snan and puja is a prayer that purification not remain personal, but become nourishment for sacred beings. It is especially fitting for those offering annadaan, tila daan, or prayers for prosperity with restraint.
