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.

Why Cow Protection Matters
Lord Sri Krishna says: “I can be worshipped within the cows by offerings of grass and other suitable grains for their pleasure and health.” – Srimad Bhagavatam 11.11.43
Vedic scriptures and sages glorify the cow as a source of divine blessings, prosperity, and ultimate dharma. Cow seva is not just an act of charity — it's a sacred offering to the Supreme.
Support Cow Seva💡 Donations to Govinda’s Gaushala are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, Government of India.
"When no cows remain, the world becomes motherless." – Mahabharata, Anushashana Parva 145
"A devoted lady can fulfill all her desires through cow's mercy." – Mahabharata, Anushashana Parva 83.50-52
“Cow protection is the most important outward manifestation of Hinduism.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Testimonial
This is a Goshala run by a devotee of Krishna who has a heart for the cows and is dedicated to the protection & well being of the cows. I have personally visited the goshala . It's well maintained, clean and well fed and well looked after cows. It's the need of the hour to support such will run goshalas where the Cows are happy. As per the scriptures well being of the cows brings about peace and prosperity in the human society.
I have had the good fortune of knowing Sri Govinda Das prabhu (Guruprasath) for over 15 years. He has single mindedly dedicated his energy to building and running this Govinda’s Gaushala. Very good care has been given to all the cows. The world needs such initiatives based on dharmic welfare.
I know Govinda Das prabhu personally for a long time. He is doing wonderful work in the service of the Lord Krishna by running Govinda’s Gaushala in Annur, Coimbatore for the past 5 years. He rears Local and cross breed cows. Any assistance that could be provided to him in this noble deed is like providing service to the Lord himself... I wish him all success in this endeavour.

Cow protection has always been emphasized as an essential part of human civilization and spiritual culture. Srila Prabhupāda explained that without protecting cows and cultivating brahminical qualities, society cannot truly prosper. Inspired by this principle, HG Govinda Das has sacrificed a well-paying professional career to dedicate himself to caring for cows, calves, and bulls. His sincere service not only pleases the spiritual master but also brings joy to Bhagavan Sri Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupāda and to HG Govinda Das’s dedicated Go Seva.
