Donate for Cow Feeding and Sick Cows Treatment

Because every life deserves care, comfort, and dignity Early in the morning, when the world is still asleep, a hungry cow searches for food on empty roads. Sometimes she is injured. Sometimes she is sick. Often, she is simply abandoned because she is old or no longer useful. She cannot ask for help —but she still hopes for it. At Shri Raghav Gaudham , we see this reality every single day. And we choose to act. Why Cows Need Our Help Across towns and villages, many cows are left without food, shelter, or medical care. Some are victims of road accidents. Others suffer from infections, weakness, or long-term illness. Without timely help, even a small wound or fever can become life-threatening. When these cows reach us, they are often: Extremely weak and underfed In pain from untreated injuries Suffering from infections or age-related illness Frightened and exhausted Your support allows us to give them a second chance at life.

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.

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.

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?
