KrishnaPriya Gaushala
Gaushala, originating from the Sanskrit words "Gau" meaning cow and "Shala" signifying a sheltered place, combines to form a term that translates to a protective haven for cows, oxen, and calves. It serves as a dedicated abode where abandoned or stray cows receive essential care, assistance, and a focus on their health to ensure they thrive in a disease-free environment.
The methodology emphasizes a widespread aspiration in India to put an end to cow slaughter. Cows are regarded as sacred abodes of the 33 crore types of Gods, and serving them is seen as a means of serving these divine entities. The term "Gau" holds four profound meanings: Jnaana (knowledge), Gaman (progress), Praapti (reception), and Moksha (liberation). A cow, embodying these meanings, serves as a comprehensive source for all four aspects.
“Serving, worshipping cows and taking care of cows is our Dharma, then our own protection is guaranteed”, Krishna said.
This ignited a profound passion within Pujya Shri Pt. Amitbhai Jani, leading to the establishment of the Shree Shivoham Charitable Trust.
On 19th November, 1947, Government of India appointed a ‘Cattle Preservation and Development Committee’ who studied how agencies like Gaushalas, Cattle Protection Societies, and Salvage Centres could be utilized for preserving cattle wealth and promoting its development.
Shree Shivoham Charitable Trust, a non-profit organization, stands as one of the largest shelters for indigenous cows, established under the visionary guidance of Pujya Shri Pt. Amitbhai Jani. Dedicated to safeguarding, nourishing, and providing shelter for ailing, starving, destitute, and stray Desi Cows & Bulls, the majority of which have been either abandoned by their owners or rescued from the clutches of butchers.
Most of these Gauvansh are non-milking cows, rescued from difficult circumstances and brought to our Gaushala. Committed volunteers work ceaselessly, offering them continuous food, shelter, and care. Through the collaborative endeavors of Jani Dada and his dedicated volunteers, this Gaushala refrains from exploiting cows for milk and instead distributes it freely to saints, tapaswis, Gausewaks, and Ashrams.
This initiative, stemming from the vision of a single young individual, Jani Dada, who dreamed of protecting cows, has not only elevated the status of the cow dynasty but has also strengthened Indians' reverence for Gaumata ji. This led to the formulation of five crucial resolutions for subsequent initiatives.:
KrishnaPriya Gaushala
