Our Gausadan

Since 2013

Saving Cows & Providing Shelter

Our History

Dakshin Vrindavan started when a bull calf of 6 months was saved from being sold off to butchers. The team comprises of volunteers who find time from their day jobs to run the Gausadan. From that frail bull in 2013 we have grown to be a Gausadan that now holds 314 cows, bulls, and calves.

Till now we are functioning in a rental facility and We plan to build permanent home for the cows on a land we have chosen for the same. Land has been purchased and shed construction is in progress

Our Mission

Cows are known to be the most beloved companions of the Lord Krishna, the cowherd or Go-Pala. Following him, our forefathers adopted protecting and serving cows as an integral part of our culture and tradition. However, the corrupting influence of Kaliyuga has blemished these traditions and rendered cows and bulls, destitute and hapless. Bringing back the tradition of cow protection is our mission.

FAQ

Have more questions?

Are cows bred in Dakshin Vrindavan ?

Ours is a Gausadan, we prefer to rescue more cows from slaughter than given increasing mouths to feed inside the gaushala by breeding. There are many cows who need to be saved from slaughter.

Do you milk the cows?

No, since we don’t breed, there is no question of milk. But we do admit pregnant cows, in which case, we never milk the cows and the calf gets the entire share of mother’s milk. To feed rescued young calves, we often buy milk from market.

Do you send out cows or hand over to someone else?

We don’t send the cows or bulls outside. Any cow or bull who gets admitted to Dakshin Vridnavan is never sent outside, we promise them lifetime accommodation and protection and we keep our promise.

Can we visit the Gausadan?

You are most welcome to visit the Gausadan anyday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.. We are open on holydays and Sundays as well. We would be more than happy to host you and introduce our cows and bull to you and your family.

How do you save cows from slaughterhouses?

The modus operandi have been to buy the cows who are on route to slaughter. Mostly old cows, young bulls, and the cows with less milk production are sent to slaughter. We purchase them through our “save a cow” program and bring them to Dakshin Vrindavan to provide them a home.
