Protecting Cows is Protecting Sanatan Dharma : Swami Bhupendra Giri

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.
