Shankaracharya Swami Nischalananda Saraswati with Gau Mata at Govardhan Gaushala
Jagadguru Shankaracharya with Gau Mata — Go Seva in action

Why Do We Need Goshala?

In Vedic scriptures, the cow holds a position of utmost reverence. She is considered the abode of 33 crore deities. The protection of cows (Go Raksha) is one of the primary dharmic duties prescribed in Hindu scriptures.

The Shankaracharya himself was imprisoned in Tihar Jail for 52 days in 1966 for advocating cow protection as part of Dharma Samrat Karpatriji Maharaj's agitation. Go Seva remains central to the Math's mission.
