Our Gaushāla

अग्रतः सन्तु मे गावो गावो मे सन्तु पृष्ठतः।
गावो मे हृदये सन्तु गवां मध्ये वसाम्यहम्॥

Shri Brahmā in Skandapurāna says, “let there be cows before me, cows behind me, cows in my heart, I live with the cows”.

Needless to say, a brahmachari’s life is incomplete without serving cows. One attains immense punya and this punya then bestows viveka, by taking care of the cows.

Veda says ‘पयसि हीदं सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम्’, all this world is established on milk.

Adi shankaracharya, in his bhashya explains it thus:
“Prajapati created seven kinds of food and of them, he gave milk to the cows. How is this milk the base for everything? Because the whole world results from transformation of oblations of milk made during nitya agnihotram.”

OUR Gaushala

We have a thriving gaushāla at the gurukulam, currently has 25 govamsha-s: cows, calves, heifer, oxen, bulls.

Due to rapid commercialization of the dairy industry, the state of pure breed desi cows is extremely troubling. Faulty policies by government and quest for increased milk production has led to farmers adopting foreign breeds of cow or buffaloes, and thus the number of pure breed Indian cows has declined to the extent of being endangered in comparison to most breeds.

Thus, we made a committment to only have pure breed indian cows (bos indicus). All our cows belong to the following breeds:
Haryanvi
Tharparkar
Sahiwal
Rathi

Our Promise

We have a committment to follow the best practices to ensure good health of all our cows and their calves.

We never tie our cows with rope. Calves and heifers are fed mother’s milk for as long as the mother produces.

We have established a gosamvardhana kendra exclusively for breeding desi cows so that their quality and numbers improve.
