Donate a Blanket — Warmth & Compassion for Our Cows

 As the cold season approaches, many of the cows at Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti — often rescued from starvation, abandonment, or poor health — risk suffering from the biting cold. At our Gaushala, we shelter hundreds (sometimes thousands) of such cows, ensuring they get food, medical care and refuge.  But beyond food and medicine, warmth is a basic need — especially in chilly winters, when older, injured or weak cows find it hard to survive the cold nights. That’s why we request your help: donate blankets to spread warmth, comfort and a sense of home to these gentle beings. 🌟 Why Blanket Donation Matters Health & Survival: Blankets protect cows from cold, reducing risk of illness, hypothermia or stress for those already weak or injured. Comfort & Dignity: Every cow deserves care and dignity — a blanket brings a sense of comfort and compassion, beyond just food and shelter. Your Compassion, Their Security: Your small act of kindness — just a blanket — goes a ...

Planting Hope: How Your Donation for Plantation Makes a Difference

 In a world where environmental challenges are growing by the day, planting trees is more than just an act of kindness — it’s a responsibility. At Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti, our plantation initiative is deeply intertwined with our mission of sowing life, healing the planet, and nurturing a future for all beings. Why Plant Trees with Us? A Breath of Fresh Air: Trees are nature’s lungs. They absorb harmful carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Through our plantation drives, every sapling you help plant contributes to mitigating climate change and making our air cleaner.  Ecological Balance: Trees don’t just beautify landscapes. They bring ecological balance: they provide shade, reduce the heat in surrounding areas, and help regulate soil moisture.  Sustainable Communities: The plantations we do (Neem, Pipal, Bel, Banyan, etc.) are not just for the environment. These trees are part of a living ecosystem that supports wildlife, birds, and local communities.  Lon...

Sant Seva: Selfless Service for Saints at Shri Raghav Gaudham

 At the heart of Shri Raghav Gaudham lies the noble practice of Sant Seva — a form of selfless service dedicated to serving sadhus, saints, and wandering mendicants. This seva is not only a humanitarian act but also a deeply spiritual discipline, rooted in surrender, humility, and devotion. What Is Sant Seva? Seva means “service,” but in the Indian spiritual tradition, it transcends mere volunteering. According to Shri Raghav Gaudham: “Seva is a great equalizer. Through seva we learn to put our opinions and ideas aside as we learn to submit to others.”  When we serve without ego or expectation, we humble ourselves and cultivate surrender — learning to let go of pride and arrogance. That is the true benefit of seva.  How Does Sant Seva Work at Shri Raghav Gaudham Here are some of the key ways in which Shri Raghav Gaudham carries out Sant Seva: Annadan (Food Service): Every day, the ashram offers free meals to over 300 people. The food is prepared in the ashram bhojanalaya ...

Donate for Cows: Why Your Support Matters

 In a world where many animals suffer in silence, cows hold a deeply sacred place in our culture and our spirit. At Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti, we believe that serving cows is not just an act of charity — it is a sacred duty, a seva (selfless service), and a way to preserve dharma. Who We Are Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti was founded to protect and care for destitute, injured, and elderly cows. What began in 2012 with just 21 troubled mother cows has blossomed into a sanctuary for over 1,000 cows today.  Our gaushala (cow shelter) operates around the clock, ensuring that every cow gets the care, medical attention, and love she deserves.  Beyond cows, we also run humanitarian efforts — feeding sadhus (saints), pilgrims, and passersby at our ashram on the Kamadgiri Parikrama route.   We even feed birds and monkeys daily, because for us, every living being deserves compassion.  Shriraghav Gaudham Why Donate to Cow Care?

Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti: A Sacred Place of Service and Compassion

In a world where many animals are often neglected, the Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti stands as a shining example of compassion and selfless service. Established with the noble aim of protecting and caring for cows, this ashram has grown into one of the most significant cow shelters in the region, thanks to the tireless efforts of Shri Raghav Ji. The Humble Beginnings The journey of Shri Raghav Govardhan Gaushala Samiti began in 2012.

These mother cows, often abandoned or mistreated, found a safe and loving home here. The care they received—both physical and emotional—led to significant improvements in their health.
