More than 18,000 cows are protected from slaughter; Mata Ji Gaushala

World's largest Cow Shelter - Cow Protection and Shelter (Maan Mandir Seva Sansthan Trust)

"Prosperity looks for a place where cows walks fearlessly". Mother cow is so sacred that all demi gods choose to refuge in one or the other part of Its body. Krishna Himself worships and serves her. When Krishna was in braj, all the brajvasis used to keep, worship and serve the cows. Because of this service, streams of milk, yogurt, butter and butter milk (Chhachh) used to flow out of every home and every body used to be prosperous.

Present situation is totally opposite of it. Few have that respect for cows any more because of degrading cultural values, lose of respect for Braj tradition and poor financial situation. Even Goshala owners find it hard to run such institutions. Since there is limited area for cows to graze, cows are going hungry and no milk is being produced. The cow owners are therefore forced to let them go for free or sell their cows to butchers for the skin. Essentially, a cow is being sold for 2,000 rupees to a butcher, who in return sells the cows skin for 10,000 rupees.

Restoring the Hills for pasture and building Gaushalas will feed the cows, a reason not to kill them for food. Healthier cows will enable cow based economy. Taking on this unfortunate situation, Maan Mandir Sewa Sansthan has started Mata Ji Gaushala with a vision of bringing the glory and majesty of mother cow back to its original form as it used to be in Krishna's time. By the grace of Shriji, the Mataji Gaushala Project is becoming a very impressive project. The Gaushala is not only taking care of sick, abandoned cows, but is also helping the environment, and striving to provide many resources to the surrounding community. Currently there are six sheds which house 72 cows each. The seventh one is under construction. Other projects under construction include offices for the veterinarian, an animal hospital, apartments for the cow herders and visitors, a lab to process cow urine, access roads, and the purchasing of two heavy duty vehicles for the transportation of cows.

A cow manure gas plant has been constructed. This plant utilizes cow manure and converts it into gas which can be used for cooking by the local community. The excess cow manure is also being utilized to create compost soil which is four times more fertile than regular soil. This soil will is given to the local farmers to use on their land.

You are dear to Shri Krishna.

After exploiting the cows for its milk and depriving the calf of its mother's milk most farmers pretend to sell the cows off.... Who do you think buys your old cattle? It is sad that on one side you call it mother, kamadhenu and other terms, yet you sell them off to be slaughtered. Hypocrisy at its best.

Thanks for your comment.

We don't sale cows. We save cows.

By the way I'll let u know one special thing that we don't even take milk from cows. With selfishness you can't do service.

130 are only milking cows out of 12,700 now. All are abondoned sick or handicapt. We are trying to save them from bad hands and trying our best to serve all the cows.

I used to eat meat until i saw with my own eyes the pain they go through...Especially lamb...I had a terrible experience when i was a child. I was playing with a cute little lamb that my grandma had in her backyard, little did i know, it was going to be that night's feast...I saw how it was killed. Most traumatizing thing ever. never ate meat after that.

[TheseBoringDays]

I used to eat meat until almost a year ago, I was unblindfolded by society's view of cows as walking milk machines and big macs, and then I realized cows have just as much feelings as a cat or a dog. Same goes for pigs and chickens- not so sure about fish, but I also refuse to eat them, just in case.

I highly thank whoever had the sympathy and empathy to create this shelter.
