Vision behind Go-Tirth

With an intention of conserving the native breeds of Indian cows, Swamiji decided to establish a Gaushala in 2005.

Manifold breeds were brought in at one place from across the nation. Several farmers were persuaded not to sell their ageing or injured cows and all of them were treated at Gau Shala. Neighboring villages too were urged not to send their cows to slaughterhouses.

Food Arrangements for Cows

Azola Grazing Field

In a view to provide fodder to the cows of Goshala, an innovative initiative was taken by the Swamiji. On the land stretch of over 30,000 sq ft, tanks measuring 6 X 10 ft were prepared with multiple layers of soil, cow dung, cow urine and water. Azolla seeds mixed here with these layers, soon grew into an aquatic floating fern and today, it has proved to be the best fodder source for cows with high nutritional values.
