Goshala

The Gaushala aims at protecting cows and providing them a shelter. The Gaushala further provides an opportunity for individuals to serve and devote their time to the sacred cow.

Bhagavat Geeta describes how Lord Krishna cared for the cows and calves every morning, by taking them to graze on the Govardhana hill. We should also try to serve the cows with similar attitude - by providing means for their food, shelter and medication. Even the gods pray to the cow. She contains the divinity of all the Gods. A pious day starts with her worship. She has prominence in various religious festivals. Sankranti and Deepavali are specially cow related festivals. Cow products are essential in different religious rituals. The gaushala also aims to cater to old, sick, abandoned cows and its progeny.
