Gopal Krishna Goshala
A Sanctuary of Compassion and Devotion
“Protecting the cow means protecting the heart of dharma.”
— Srila Prabhupada
Home to over 450+ cows, bulls, and calves, our Goshala is not just a shelter, but a spiritual sanctuary, where each cow is revered as **Gomata** the universal mother, and each bull as **Nandini-putra**, the protector of dharma.
Cows are sacred in Vedic culture and are considered “Gomata”, the mother who nourishes humanity with her milk. At ISKCON Gaushala Farm, we lovingly serve and protect cows, calves, and bulls, ensuring they receive natural food, clean shelter, and lifelong care.
