Come towards Yoga, Nature and Cows. The foundations of Indian Culture and
Civilization is the self realization and devotion to God accomplished through self-
knowledge, self transcendence and self-less service. For the first time, it is the
Indian sages themselves through the help of Vedic knowledge – disclosed the non-
difference between individual and Absolute soul, the spiritual unity of entire beings of
the universe, and the nature of Absolute cause of the entire creation which is full of
Truth, Good and Beauty. They taught the humanity to look towards every creatures
and the nature with spiritual eyes and to respect them. It has always been the
outlook of Vedic sages that the humanity should make use of the Nature and its
products in non-violent way respecting the laws of the nature. It is for this reason
there is in Indian Culture a great respect to Yoga, Nature and the Cows. For the
sake of God realization there is a great need of the development of the health of
human body. For which Yoga is of paramount importance. Even in Naturopathy too
similar is the course. It is through Yoga only there is physical, bodily and practical
development of human beings. However, along with this there indeed is the need of
Naturopathy. And cow too falls in the same sequence. One can get immensely
benefited through various cow-products. It is for this very great reason there in
Indian culture is the respect to cows. This can very much be comprehended from the
description of cows as having divine nature, as the abode of all the gods and
goddesses and as the highly respectable holy mother of the Lord Krishna – the
devotee loving reciter of Gita and preceptor of the entire world. From every view
point mother-cow is holy and worth worshiping and worthy to be served. Even the
God too takes several incarnations in the form of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna with a
view to foster and serve the cows. Cow has been highly honored by each and every
religion, race and sect of the world. Cow-service is very much essential for the
upliftment of entire mankind. God loves them who serve the cow. Our Swami
Kuvalayanandaji was a great devotee of cow. Swamiji established Kaivalyadhama
Ashrama (1924) for the growth of peace and health in the world. Various projects
that are run in Kaivalyadhama till date are Scientific Research, Philosophico-Literary
Research, Naturopathy department, College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis, Yoga
Gurukul, Kaivalya Vidya Niketan, department of Ayurvedic treatment, Annapurna
Bhavana, Ayurvedic Garden, Yoga Mimamsa Research Journal, Central Library of
Research equipped with modern facilities, Publication Department and a Goshala.
The Goshala project is on since the very establishment of Kaivalyadhama. Presently
there are 30 cows. For the proper living arrangement of the cows there is a huge
Gaubhavana – house of cows. For the sake of proper service and care of cows an
expert has been appointed. Presently with a view to construct an ideal Goshala
wherein cows of best Indian breed could be served, the work of renovation is in
progress. In this regard a multi-dimensional project is ready comprising such
amenities and facilities as Veterinary Hospital, maternity house for cows, house for
oxygen, house of cows yielding milk, house of off springs of cows, residential
accommodation for those who serve cows, management centre, house for fodder
production and maintenance. It is has been endeavour that this project be
materialized in its ideal form. In this regard your suggestions and co-operation are
highly solicited.
