Support Gau Seva on the Auspicious Occasion of Janmashtami

Gau Seva on Janmashtami

Janmashtami is not just a festival, it is a sacred day filled with love, devotion, and celebration of the birth of Lord Krishna — the divine protector of cows, lovingly known as Gopal and Govind. This year, celebrate Janmashtami 2025 with a higher purpose by offering your service and compassion to the very beings Lord Krishna loved the most — the sacred cows (Gaumata).

At Krishna Dham Gaushala in Dehradun, we believe that true devotion to Krishna comes through the service of cows. Gau Seva is not just a tradition; it is a spiritual path that connects your soul to the Supreme Lord.

1. Why Gau Seva Matters on Janmashtami

Cows have always held a sacred place in Indian culture. They are symbols of love, motherhood, abundance, and purity. Our holy scriptures declare that all deities reside within the body of a cow. Serving them is equal to serving all gods.

As per the Skanda Purana:

“Lord Mādhava always resides among the cows. By worshiping and serving the cows, one worships all the demigods and the Supreme Lord Himself.”

On this holy day of Krishna Janmashtami, doing charity and Gau Seva is highly auspicious. It is said to bring peace, happiness, and divine blessings to the family.

1. The Harsh Reality Behind Milk and Leather

Although Lord Krishna loved cows and protected them throughout His life, today, cows across India face suffering that would deeply sadden Him. Many cows are used for commercial dairy purposes. They are often injected with harmful drugs like oxytocin to increase milk production, causing them unbearable pain, similar to that experienced during labor.

The separation of a cow from her calf — sometimes just days after birth — is a trauma no mother should experience. The male calves are either abandoned or sent to slaughter, while the females are forced to live the same painful cycle as their mothers.

This Janmashtami, let’s change that reality — with your help.

2. Krishna Dham Gaushala – A Shelter of Love and Protection

Krishna Dham Gaushala in Dehradun is a sanctuary that has been protecting and caring for cows for over 10 years. With two dedicated branches, we serve more than 2,000 cows every single day. These include injured, abandoned, old, and handicapped cows that were once left to die on roads or in fields.

Here’s what we do every day at Krishna Dham Gaushala:

• Provide clean, safe, and shaded shelters for the cows
• Serve fresh and nutritious fodder and clean drinking water
• Offer timely veterinary care and round-the-clock medical support
• Rescue cows injured in accidents or abandoned on streets
• Uphold the sacred mission of Gau Raksha and Gau Seva

Every cow here is treated with love and dignity. Our team cares for each cow like a family member, ensuring they live in peace and comfort.

3. How You Can Serve Lord Krishna on Janmashtami 2025
