Gau Seva

Mother Cow, Mother of All

In Sanatan tradition the cow is called Gau Mata. She gives like a mother and asks for nothing, and her gifts reach every home: milk, curd, ghee, and even the fuel and manure that keep a village alive.

To serve her is an old and simple prayer. A handful of fodder, a bowl of clean water or a gentle hand on her back is gau seva.

At our gaushala every cow is family: the old, the sick, the abandoned and the newborn alike.
