“Kalpa vruKsha swaroopayai,
Sarvesham sathatham pare,
Ksheeradayai, dhanadayai, Budhidayai namo nama”
We do not say that all divinities reside in humans, but we do say that cow is the refuge of all auspiciousness and they all are embodied in the mother cow. The cow is our Universal Mother; she benefits us with her blessings and bi-products, expecting nothing from us, but grass and gain. Saving cows is saving the nation and the world.
The backbone of human welfare, the cow, the mother of all creatures is the representative of divine and natural beneficence.Though she appears like an animal, traditionally she is treated as one of the family members, and due care is given to her as she nurtures and looks after everyone, regardless of religion, society, caste, or creed, we revered with a motherly status & often called “Gau Mata”. Lord Krishna said “Humans need cows more than cows need humans. Cows need to be protected for humans to survive.” it’s even more relevant today.
In Bhagwad Gita describes how Lord Krishna cared for the cows and calves 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.
Gaushala is referred to as a shelter for cows. It is created with the intention of providing ideal living conditions to domesticated cows where they can thrive. It also works as a rehabilitation centre for injured or sick cows.
There are over 8000 gaushalas in India. Many of these gaushalas are run as charity institutions and do not provide the ideal conditions for living of cattle. The ratio of cows versus the available land is often too close which does not provide enough space for every cow and does not have proper grazing areas. There are many other challenges like untrained staff, shortage of veterinary doctors, shortage of fodder, insufficient water, poor drainage system and lack of management.
The SSGS Gaushala project is created with the aim of creating ‘home’ for cows even for other street animals as well, with the right environment, ample care, proper management and administration.
It is high time for all of us to come together to protect and preserve this essentially sacred breed of cattle to save our glorious culture and nation's iconic identity. We aim to provide shelter to stray cattle, improve the health of infirm, unproductive, diseased, and abandoned cattle that would have been mercilessly killed otherwise. As we protect the purity of breeds, educate the people, make use of energy sources, create jobs, the system of running gaushalas will automatically thrive.
Our mission is to care for stray, abandoned cows, and orphaned calves. We provide them hay, flour, fresh grass, clean water, medical attention and a place where they can recuperate from injuries and stay peacefully.
Gaushala literally means the home for cows and is meant to rescue, shelter, protect, feed, treat and rehabilitate weak, sick, injured, handicapped and abandoned homeless cattle.
This objective of the SSGS Gaushala Project is directed towards the Gautama or cows which will inhibit our gaushala and bring the dreams to reality. As much as we benefit from them, we also need to provide them freedom to live in a comfortable and safe environment and respect their life. Our staff will be trained to properly look after the cows and their comfort.
We focus to provide the following Six freedoms to the cows in our gaushalas:
