Cow is a very important animal. One Hindu goddess, Bhoomi (भुमि), is usually shown in the form of a cow. She represents the Earth.
In the Vedas, the oldest of the Hindu scriptures, the cow is associated with Aditi, the mother of all the gods.
Every body part of a cow symbolizes some venerable aspect as detailed below:
• Legs symbolize four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana),
• Teats symbolize four puruṣārthas (human pursuits) namely Dharma (righteousness), Artha (material wealth), Kama(desire) and Moksha (freedom).
• Horns symbolize the Gods,
• Face symbolizes the Sun and Moon,
• Shoulders symbolize Agni devatā, the god of fire.
Garuda Purana, Upanishads, Jyothisha Shastra, Brahmanda Purana and many scriptures have stressed on the many benefits of GoSeva (Serving the Cow). The cow is considered the most holy animal as it has all the 365 Gods, 9 Grahas, 12 Rashis & 27 Nakshatras residing in it. Even Lord Sri Krishna has described GoSeva in great detail in Brindavana. Scriptures also mention that Go Daana (donating a cow) is equivalent to performing an Ashwamedha Yagna.
We all celebrate our birthdays and anniversaries in a grand way by inviting many guests but are not sure how many of these guests will actually bless you. Most of the times these guests will discuss how bad the food at your party was. Instead by doing GoSeva on these special days in your life you avail many benefits and your prayers read God directly and you receive divine blessings.
It is proven that Cow’s Urine & Cowdung has steroids and antibodies. People in olden days already knew this fact and have used this extensively to maintain health, keep their homes free of pests and this was also used as a great fertilizer.
Go Seva is best when done in the morning during Sunrise. However it may be done before Sunset as well.
Weakness in Nerves, Dementia, Epilepsy, Schizophrenia, Skin Diseases, Migraine, Intestines & Excretory Systems related diseases are cured by GoSeva. Poverty, Debts, court cases, police cases, business issues, family issues, etc are also resolved when doing GoSeva.
By feeding the cows, bathing the cows, cleaning the Goshala, brushing the coats of the cows all Dasha Maha Paapas of ones previous birth like killing parents, insulting a guru or his family, beating and killing of a cow by any member of your family are all resolved. Most of the people don’t know their family deity. By doing GoSeva your prayers will reach not only your family God but 365 Gods, 9 Grahas, 12 Rashis & 27 Nakshatras that reside inside a cow.
The Garuda Purana indicates that after death a cow needs to be donated on Vaikunta Samaradhana (11th Day after death). There are 16 cities that one has to pass on the way to Yama’s abode. They are Yamya, Souri, Nagendra, Gandharva, Shailagama, Krouncha, Krura, Vichitra, Vahvapada, Duhkada, Nankranda, Sutapta, Roudra, Payovarshana, Shitadhya & Vahubhiti. In between the cities named Vichitra & Vahvapada, the river Vaitarani which is a terrible river made of blood and guarded by fierce flesh eating birds has to be crossed. By donating a cow a boat will be provided to safely cross this river.
In case a person has no children or if there is any uncertainty if Go Daana will be done by family members a person can donate a cow during his/her lifetime itself. There is no need for family members to do any ceremonies.
The method specified in the scriptures is the Cowherd (Go Paalaka) should hold the tip of the cows tail and the person making the donation will need to keep a thulasi leaf on the hand holding the tail and pour a Udharani of water on the thulasi leaf.
Go Daana Seva starting from Rs 50000/-Creating a comfortable cowshed where cows can live where they are protected and taken care of. With the increasing number of calves being born in the Goshala and cows being donated (Go Daana) we are in urgent need of funds for extending the existing Goshala. We seek funds from philantropists for this.
We are also considering having a well-equipped clinic for cows with a full time vet to take care of sick cows that have been abandoned by their owners. We are also considering purchasing an ambulance to carry sick cows to our clinic.
Go Gruha Nirmana Seva starting from Rs 500/-Feeding a cow as prescribed by the vet 3 times is one of the Go Sevas. It is recommended that you personally feed a cow with fruits & fodder. However if one cannot do Go Bhojana in person the expense incurred to feed a cow may be paid to the Go Paalaka. Childless couples desirous of having a child may feed a cow and its calf or just the calf as well.
Go Bhojana Seva starting from Rs 150/-(1 Day Meals per Cow )Most of the people don’t know their family deity. By doing GoSeva your prayers will reach not only your family God but 365 Gods, 9 Grahas, 12 Rashis & 27 Nakshatras that reside inside a cow.
Making a Sankalpa (Strong Determination) and informing a cow of your troubles and problems during Go Pooja and feeding the cow with a wheat, jaggery and ghee mixture is equal to praying to God.
Go Pooja Seva starting from Rs 1000/-Bathing, Cleaning the cowshed, Removing Cowdung and maintaining hygiene, Brushing their coats, Caring for them and taking them for grazing under supervision are some of the Go Paalana Sevas.
Go Paalana Seva starting from Rs 500/-Cremation of a dead cow according to sanatana dharma methodology is considered the best form of seva.

The Goshala at Datta Dhaama has been established for the benefit of those people who would like to spend a day at this ashram and enjoy its serene surroundings and also do GoSeva. Also people find it difficult to find Goshalas in the city and most Goshala do not permit outsiders from entering.
We are also considering having a well equipped clinic for cows with a full time vet to take care of sick cows that have been abandoned by their owners. We are also considering purchasing an ambulance to carry sick cows to our clinic.
