Cow Protection

ISKCON Nellore has a plan to start a goshala in the near future. Already a Cow and its Calf are presently taken care of in the Temple and are serving the Lordships Sri Sri Radha Shyamsundar. We would like to start a Goshala which, apart from taking care of cows and calves, should also create awareness among people regarding the importance of Cow Protection.

Bhagavad-Gita on Cow Protection

In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna Says:

krsi-go-raksya vaijyam
vaisya-karma svabhava-jam"

"The duty of the mercantile community is agriculture and cow protection."
According to Vedas the Cow has a special position within the human society; She has the  status of our mother. No society can boast of civilization without proper protection of cows.

So Donors interested to donate cows or to donate for the maintenance of these cows are most welcomed.
