Established Year
I am Govinda Das, Founder & Managing Trustee of Govinda’s Gaushala (Govinda’s Charitable Trust). Formerly an Instrumentation and Control Engineer with over 20 years of experience, my heart was drawn to the teachings of the Vedic scriptures through my journey with ISKCON, especially the sacred importance of Cow Protection.
With the blessings of Supreme Lord Sri Govinda and the merciful guidance of our Gurus, Govinda’s Gaushala began in Ambothi Village, Annur Taluk, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, in November 2018. What started with a few cows and calves has now grown into a loving shelter for over 50+ cows, bulls, and calves.
Our Vision
Cow Protection is Earth Protection
"Cow is our Mother and Bull is our Father." As declared in the scriptures:
“ātma-mātā guroḥ patnī brāhmaṇī rāja-patnikā dhenur dhātrī tathā pṛthvī saptaitā mātaraḥ smṛtāḥ” – Cāṇakya Paṇḍita.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu explained: “We drink the milk of the cow, therefore she is our mother. The bull produces grains, therefore he is our father.”
Govinda’s Gaushala was established with a divine mission — to serve non-milking, aged, and abandoned Desi Cows and Bulls until their natural end, with dignity and love.
We aim to rescue rare Indian breeds, educate farmers on sustainable cow care, and promote Vedic values rooted in compassion and gratitude.
Our Vision
We aim to stop cow and bull slaughter by educating owners and offering alternatives to selling non-milking animals for meat.
