Cow caring is an expensive and labour intensive operation. Back in the day it was easy. The cows would go out grazing in the morning after milking and return home in the evening nice and fed with bags full of milk again. Now days, due to zero grassing lands, unfortunately that is not possible. We have no land of our own either and therefore must buy everything from green grass and hey to medicines in the market.
Our daily expenses include feeding them, homing them, medications, transport, and the salary of a team of twelve sevaks.. We are an independent Gaushala with no umbrella institution that supports us. It runs on small donations made by individuals such as yourselves.
The history of Care For Cows Society began approximately in 1999 when Kurma Rupa Prabhu moved to a house in Madhuvana Colony that belonged to his friend, Acyuta Prabhu. One particular cow, that was called Tilak, used to beg from door to door in the neighbourhood and Kurma Rupa Prabhu would also give her whatever vegetable cuttings or old chapatis he had. It became a habit for Tilak to go to the house and get something to eat.
It all started with the one cow that showed up at His Grace Kurma Rupa Prabhu’s door hungry. He fed her and she came back the next day with another friend. Then they came back the next day with another two friends who then came back with another four and that was the beginning of Care For Cows on the streets of Vrindavan. This was way back in 1999. All these years later the legacy continues. Nandu Lal Joshi, following in the footsteps of his Guru continues to serve the cows, striving to please them and honour them as is required in our Sanatan Dharma
At some point, one neighbour who had a vacant plot nearby, offered to let Kurma Rupa use it so the cows could be better cared for. Kurma Rupa built a feeder and shed and started keeping the cows there. That went on for a couple of years.
Then Kurma Rupa Prabhu was allowed to use some land nearby, on Sunrakh road. By that time the “herd” had increased to 15 cows, so he planned to build a shed for 25. By the time the cowshed was complete, he had 25 cows. Other people showed interest, offered donations and assistance, and the project grew. Care For Cows was born.

I was beaten to look the continuous provider of lots of destitute cows in Shri Vrindavan Dham. This gaushala may be ideal inside the discipline of Gauseva.

Nurturing a cow is equivalent to a non secular ritual. I take into account myself very fortunate to serve mother cows and associate myself with

Cows are equivalent to our mothers for when the mothers milk has dried up the cow gives her milk unselfishly to noursih and strengthen us. How can one who has ever drunk cows milk justify the killing and eating of such a mother as the sacred cow. One should never even in one's mind do injury to a cow or ever think of harming cows as well as bulls. One should show all respect and compassion for cows and sincere reverence should be offered unto them all without reservation.
