Shree Shiv Gau Sadan
(Cow Shelter)

Service of Cow is Workship of God

Protecting & Serving Mother Cow

Divine Yoga Life – with the grace of almighty, help of locals, guidance of religious gurus also operate a Cow shelter / Gau Sadan in the name of “Shree Shiv Gau Sadan” few miles from Rishikesh. The cow shelter is a dream and initiative of our Yoga Guru Swami Sudhir – who is a visionary, having a vision of providing food, shelter and medicinal support to the cows and cattle that are deserted, hurt or have been in an accident.

We take care of abandoned, injured and rescued cows, bulls and calves by providing nutritious food, clean water, medical attention, and lifetime accommodation. Here all the cows are given proper shelter and food. We provide all the facilities that adhere to welfare of cows which includes proper feed.

We sustain purely on donations. Please help us by donating to feed the cows, to meet our medical expenses etc.

OUR MISSION

Cows are known to be the most beloved companions of the Lord Krishna, our forefathers adopted protecting and serving cows as an integral part of our culture and tradition. Bringing back the tradition of cow protection is our mission. We rescue more cows from streets, slaughter houses, bring ailing cows that are abandoned and treat them and also keep them with us for rest of their life and serve them.

All these cows are fed, sheltered, and looked after by our Swami ji & locals of Gausewaks who work round the clock.

Not a Dairy.. But a Home

We take care of abandoned, injured and slaughterhouse-rescued cows, bulls, and calves ; by providing nutritious food, clean water, medical attention, and lifetime accommodation. So we strictly make sure that milk is for calves.

Helping Abandoned cows

Many old and wounded cows are left out in the streets when they are dry. They are left to forage in garbage heaps and most often end up eating plastic. We rescue such cows and provide them a dignified safe life.

We are a NGO / Charity

We are a non-profir organization and a yoga school. It is an endevuor of our Yoga teacher Swami Sudhir to serve the mother Cow. We are helped by yoga students, well wishers, volunteers and locals to maintain this shelter.

Help us serve the cows more better

make a donation

We do not ask for money, we ask for your support, that support can be in the form of supplies, food, medicines, donations and time. Your support will be appreciated by us, by the cows and by the almighty god himself.

We have always been fortunate to receive donations and support from our well-wishers but the need is ever-increasing. More and more injured cows are left stranded on the roads with no one to care for them. We want to help each one of them. Our dream is to give the best facilities to these injured animals and for that, we  need your support.
