Lord Shri Krishna himself took the form of a Gopala, devotedly serving the cows. Just as we worship God, our faith also teaches us to revere and protect cows. The cow is a symbol of reverence, deserving of our utmost respect. Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji has always made the mission that cow slaughter should never occur on this sacred land, for as long as the cow is protected, Sanatan Dharma will endure. Through the noble principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, Pujya Swamiji has inspired the spread of Sanatan Dharma worldwide. Sanatan means to uphold the truth. Those who walk the path of truth are true Sanatanis. These profound words were shared by Bhupendergiri Swamiji – Haridwar.

Under the divine guidance of the revered spiritual leader, Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, the Go Goa Goshal event was held as part of the Goa Spiritual Festival 2025, organized by Shri Datt Padmanabh Peeth and Satguru Foundation. The event took place at Shri Kshetra Tapobhoomi Gurupith Goshal, where Pujya Swamiji shared his blessings and wisdom.

One Temple, One Goshal: A Sacred Resolve by Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya
While Goa has made significant strides in nurturing, protecting, and preserving cows, there is still much more to be done. To further the cause of cow protection, Pujya Swamiji urges every Goan to adopt the vision of One Temple, One Goshal. The cow, the protector of all, not only safeguards our well-being but also shares in the grief of our troubles. She is our mother. Just as kings in ancient times chose to protect and serve the cow, even offering their lives for her well-being, the cow holds a sacred place in the heart of our culture. The connection with the cow, the motherland, and all that is sacred must be preserved. This powerful message was delivered by Shri Datt Padmanabh Peeth, Peethadhishwar Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji.

The “Go Goa Goshala” program brought together representatives from various goshalas across Goa on one platform, fostering collaboration for the noble cause of cow protection. During the event, donors who contributed to the “Go Daan” (cow donation) campaign were honored with blessings and recognition from the revered saints.

Nature provides relaxation to humans and helps calm their minds, and thus, humans should reside in the presence of nature. We learn many things from nature, including its unnoticed contribution to our well-being. Trees provide us with life-giving oxygen and abundant rainfall, which nourishes us. However, there is only one species, humans, that causes harm to nature. Other creatures coexist and thrive in harmony with nature, but we have constructed factories, homes, and shops on the fertile land instead of cultivating fields or gardens. As a result, we have lost touch with nature, which affects not only us but also others who depend on it. Now It is crucial for us to restore this balance. It is not about refraining from building factories, homes, or shops, but about being aware of and connected to nature, which we have neglected for past few decades. Society has become highly detached from nature” addressed His Holiness, Padma Shri awardee Swami Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji , the Head of Shree Datta Padmanabh Peeth. Satguru Foundation and Sadguru Youth Federation jointly organized the program “Vrukshavalli Amha Soyari” for environmental conservation and protection, during which P Swamiji addressed the audience.

Furthermore, Swamiji stated that all our festivals and celebrations are inherently connected to nature. Nature preservation is the preservation of our Sanatan culture. We must put an end to activities that harm nature. It is this nature that improves our well-being. Trees, wool, rain—these elements enhance our strength to such an extent that they prolong our lives. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the balance between nature and human life.

During this program, short plays were performed by the youth based on the theme of environmental conservation and protection, all the participants took an oath to protect the environment, receiving a badge as a token.

The event was graced by the presence of Adv. Brahmi deviji , President, Satguru Foundation, Shrinet Kotwale, Additional District Magistrate of South Goa, and Mahesh Gadekar Police Inspector, among others. The event was hosted by ShriRaj shelar.

Satguru Foundation believes in the philosophy of staying connected with Nature to enjoy the ecstasy of life.  Grow green concept was brought in limelight and an initiative was taken to plant as many trees possible by every volunteer and spread greenery. The task was not only limited to planting the trees but a responsibility was taken to take care till they attain maturity. Trees play vital role in ecological balance. Right from providing Oxygen to purifying air, from aiding in water cycle to holding the soil to prevent soil erosion, from providing food to shelter, trees have served mankind in enormous ways. The lessons of being a GIVER and provider can be well learnt from trees and this is the reason the more we stay in connection with trees the more we shall grow spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Grow Green, a beautiful idea to allow the youth to reconnect with our cultural roots wherein trees are considered sacred, worshiped and protected. The importance and significance of different plants, be it medicinal, ornamental, commercial was learnt by understanding the avid biodiversity we are blessed with. Knowledge of our rich heritage is very important for us to rise as global leaders.
