Kamdhenu Gaushala was begun in 1997 by His Divine Grace Param Pujya Shri Maharaj Ji with just ten milking cows. Today, it shelters over 250 cows, bulls and calves — protected, nourished, and revered as sacred companions of humanity.
Beginnings & Growth
Kamdhenu Gaushala was personally begun by His Divine Grace Anant Shri Vibhushit Shri Maharaj Ji in 1997 with ten milking Cows, but nowadays it has grown more than 250 Cows, Bulls and Calves. Their number is growing every year. Small baby calves will soon grow into bulls and mothers, and their needs will also increase. As they grow and produce more milk for the benefit of human consumers, it is important to provide them more nourishment and care. Secondly, this project aims to educate more devotees and the people in general on the importance of Go-Seva. Our "mothers" have been taking care of us for so many years; this is now the right time to return that kindness.
Why Cow Protection?
"Maharaj shri says that just like physically apes are our ancestors similarly in terms of soul development cows are our immediate ancestors. Cows have been said to be the limbs of sacrifice. They represent sacrifice itself. It is from the cows that the means have flowed of the sustenance of all the worlds. They yield Soma (nectar) in the form of milk. Cows are auspicious and sacred, grantor of every wish and givers of life. Of all kinds of gifts, the gift of cows is applauded as the highest. Cows are the foremost of all things. Themselves sacred, they are the best of cleansers and sanctifiers. People should cherish cows for obtaining prosperity and even peace.Cows are said to represent the highest energy both in this world and the world that is above.Cows constitute the great source of blessing unto all. (Swastayana is a ceremony of propitiation, productive of blessing and destructive of misery of every kind). Cows are the source of eternal growth." If we observe other animals we will find that they are always in a state of fear and self preservation. However strangely enough you won’t find this behavior in a cow. In today’s materialistic world where every aspect of life boils down to a zero sum relationship, cows have lost their position which they had occupied in the yesteryears of Indian cultural heritage. If we want the situation to reverse then we will have to prove the benefit of cows in society from a scientific viewpoint keeping an eye on the profit-loss relationship as an indication of current mindset.
The Science of Panchagavya
Cow’s milk is a complete food in itself and the antibodies found in its milk enhances the immune system. Today when 70% of diseases have their basis in high cholesterol levels, it has been proven that cow milk fat has HDL cholesterol which is beneficial and reduces the bad cholesterol levels in the body. Secondly the excretory products of cows like dung and urine act as naturally producing manure, pesticides and insecticides which are required by all plants and crops. Chemicals that are used today for crop cultivation are causing major health problems as well as diminish soil quality whereas a cow’s excretory product not only improves crop productivity but acts as organic pesticides as well. Cow dung is also used as fuel in the form of biogas as an alternative energy source to petroleum products. Another major usage of cow urine has been found in treating diseases like of mental and physical disorders and many more.
