"God blesses those who take care of cows" Rig Veda

Passing on cow worship from one generation to the next
This is the first time in the history of North America that grandparents are teaching their grandchildren how to honor mother cow. Ahimsa Goshala is working to bring respect for cows into the mainstream of human values in the modern world.
How you can help
There are opportunities to perform seva for Go Mata in a number of ways such as building barns, installing fencing, clearing land for pastures, purchasing winter hay, contributing to vet care, cleaning, milking, worshiping, and training. The salient point is that the cow is a sacred animal and that anything we do for her will benefit us and our families, both now and in the future. Cow worship is a win-win affair.
Pooja, Havan and Cow Visits
Please contact us a few days before your trip. We will facilitate your goshala experience. We are happy when we receive a phone call or an email from someone asking if they can come to feed and worship the cow. We are honored to be in a position to offer such a service.
For special occasions, we offer puja to Go Mata. Also on certain festival days such as Gopastami, and upon special request from a donor or visitor we conduct puja and havan.
Winter times hours for goshala 10 am to 4:30 pm

What to Bring for Cow:
- fresh produce, ideally organic
- apples cup in half, cows can choke on whole apple
- carrots, beets, cabbage
- no coloring and additives.
- no bread, cooked or fried foods
- pure gur/jaggery with no additives
DO NOT FEED COWS GUR. We will feed them another day. So many people bring gur to feed cows. Too much gur in one day is dangerous for cows.
No dough, bread or cooked food
We are requesting guests: Never enter cow area unsupervised. Do not open cows gates and let them out. Do not litter (it attracts bear to the area).
