Cow Sanctuary

The Plight

Land that belonged to these animals is now occupied with buildings from over development. The docile cows are injected with hormones, making them produce more milk than they should. And when their milk eventually runs dry, they are left on the streets to fend for themselves. Sadly, many are also taken illegally to slaughterhouses in nearby cities. 

Our Vision

• To raise funds to procure one acre of land

• To build shelters on this land suitable for the pure breed cows of Braj

• To provide them with an organic and loving haven, healthcare, food and clean drinking water 

• To provide pure cow milk to the temples of Vrindavan for free

• To employ local villagers 

“By donating land for the service of the cows, a person is freed from any sins he has committed to earn his livelihood.”
(Mahabharat)

“If one donates even a very small piece of land to a project, one receives the full benefit of donating all the land required.”
(Anushasan Parva, Mahabharat)

The Project

To serve the pure native cows of Vrindavan from the time of Shri Krishn, Ocean of Devotion is creating a spacious sanctuary in the heart of Braj. As Braj Animal Care (BAC) we are striving to provide a clean haven, healthy food and medical treatment for these cows, we will help provide them with the love, care and peace that they deserve.

Our aim is to design an environment equivalent of a pasture on a dry summer’s day. A clean environment is crucial for a cow’s well-being - the indoor space designed for cows will have a dry, cushioned surface with good grip. This will evade teat and leg injuries.
Rest is also very important for cows, especially during lactation. To avoid udder and teat contamination and maintain high standards of cleanliness for the cows, the space will have a degree of slope for urine and leaked milk to flow down.
