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.

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.

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.
