Time seems to move differently when surrounded by divinity. The air feels enlightening when you are in the vicinity of purity. Engulfed in holiness, divinity and purity, creating an aura of self-less service is the Radha Surabhi Gaushala.

The air here carries the vibrations of bhajans, the land is soaked with the teachings of Radha-Krishna. But the biggest and even the simplest form of deviation to Lord Krishna is gau seva (cow service and care).

Among all forms of service in Sanatan Dharma, feeding cows is considered especially divine. At Radha Surabhi Gaushala Vrindavan, this simple act is elevated to a spiritual offering — one that connects the soul of the giver to the heart of the Lord.

Whether you’re a spiritual seeker, a devotee, or someone simply drawn to the cause of animal welfare, feeding cows is one of the most accessible and fulfilling ways to connect with the divine.

Cow Seva is no different from Bhakti

Hindu culture since time immemorial has put great emphasis on gau seva. Saints, priests, pandits have always considered gau seva to be equal to bhakti to the Almighty.

In the bhakti tradition, seva (selfless service) is not separate from worship. In fact, it is worship in its most pure form. Scriptures like the Padma Purana and Skanda Purana state that one who serves cows with love acquires the merit of performing thousands of yajnas.

Seva not only strengthens connection with the Lord, it also purifies the heart. It softens ego, dissolves restlessness, and draws the soul closer to Radha-Krishna. It teaches patience, presence, and compassion, qualities essential for any spiritual journey.

And the beauty is, anyone can do it.

Whether you're a monk in the Himalayas or a corporate employee in a city, whether you're young or old, the act of feeding cows remains a path open to all. You can contribute to feeding cows (gau seva) even from your home by donating for cows in Vrindavan.

Why Feeding Cows is More Than Just Charity

In our Vedic tradition as well as in the teachings of Sanatan Dharma, the cow is honored as Gau Mata. The sacred mother who nourishes all selflessly. The Vedas proclaim, “Sarva Deva Mayi Gauḥ,” all deities reside in the body of the cow. Lord Krishna, the eternal cowherd, spent His youth amidst cows, calling them by name, feeding them tenderly, and playing His flute to calm their hearts. What is then to feed a cow; if not to participate in His lila.

Scriptures describe that wherever cows are respected and cared for, Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) resides. By feeding cows, we invite peace, prosperity, and spiritual elevation into our lives.

In today’s modern world, where hearts seek meaning beyond material pleasures, the act of offering green grass or a handful of grains to a cow becomes deeply meditative. It draws one into the present moment, into a state of stillness and reverence. It’s no surprise that ancient yogis often began their sadhana by serving the cow. So why can’t you start your day, week or month by connecting with a cow anywhere? You can connect with the divine world in this fast-paced modern world by being kind to a cow or even providing two rotis to a cow you encounter.

At Radha Surabhi Gaushala Vrindavan, each meal given to a cow is offered with love, mantras, and gratitude. It’s not just feeding — it’s worship in action.

A Place of Protection and Reverence

In a world where cruelty and neglect have become all too common. Animal cruelty is not a new term. Cow protection stands as a statement of spiritual responsibility. At Radha Surabhi Gaushala Vrindavan, cows who were once mistreated or abandoned now walk freely under the sky, unafraid, loved, and safe.

This isn’t just care. It's the restoration of dharma. The rightful place of the cow in a culture that once worshipped her as the mother of civilization.

Protecting cows isn’t a social cause. It is a sacred duty, a return to values that honour life, interconnectedness, and divine presence in all beings.

A Spiritual Offering That Gives Back

At the best Gaushala in Radhakund, we believe in two-way seva. The cow is served, but she also gives back. When you feed a cow, you don’t just nourish her body; you nourish your own soul.

  • Many of our donors report:

  • Greater peace of mind

  • Connecting with the divine powers

  • Increased spiritual awareness

  • A sense of purpose in spiritual life

In fact, the Puranas say that feeding cows helps eliminate sins and brings the blessings of Lord Krishna and Radha Rani, especially when done in Vrindavan.

Final Reflections

Feeding a cow is not just an act of kindness. It is a conversation with the Divine. In her eyes, you see purity. In her presence, you find innocence & grounding. You build a connection with her all the while building a connection with the Almighty.

At Radha Surabhi Gaushala in Radhakund, this sacred connection is alive every day. It's not merely a center for cow care. It is a sanctuary for souls seeking purity, simplicity, and spiritual depth. Give a little love, a little food, and a little care; and watch how it returns to you a hundredfold, wrapped in divine blessings.

If your heart is stirred by these words, take a moment to pause… breathe… and offer a prayer to Gau Mata. In that prayer lies the seed of bhakti and the beginning of a journey that leads straight to the heart of holiness
