Our Mission

Service to cows is a service is to God. The cow is considered to be one of the holy animals in our Indian culture. Cow, Gitta and Gayatri are most respected in the Hindu culture.

Respect for animal life has been a central theme in Hindu life, most ultimately came to see the cow as a sacred animal to be esteemed, "If someone were to ask me what the most important outward manifestation of Hinduism was, I would suggest that it was the idea of cow protection," Mahatma Gandhi, India's legendary nonviolent leader, once wrote.

Although Hindus follow no single set of rules, reverence for cows can be found throughout the religion's major texts. Some trace the cow's sacred status back to Lord Krishna, one of the faith's most important figures. He is said to have appeared 5,000 years ago as a cowherd, and is often described as Bala-Gopala, "the child who protects the cows." Another of Krishna's holy names, Govinda, means "one who brings satisfaction to the cows." Other scriptures identify the cow as the "mother" of all civilization, its milk nurturing the population.

At present there is a full service provided to the cows in our Panjrapod, these numbers are increasing on a daily basics. Many of these cows are left abandoned on the streets, these cows have no home, many eat what they can find on the street, and in result of this many cows need medical care, if not treated in time they could die.
