Divine Cow Shelter - Gau Sadan
Welcome to the home of holy cows..
With the grace of almighty, help of locals, guidance of religious gurus we also operate a Cow shelter / Gau Sadan in the name of “Divine Gau Sadan” few miles from Rishikesh. The cow shelter is a dream and initiative of our Yoga Guru Swami Sudhir – who is a visionary, having a vision of providing food, shelter and medicinal support to the cows and cattle that are deserted, hurt or have been in an accident.
Mission & Vision of Divine Cow Shelter
A home for Abandoned Cows
Divine Cow shelter is a home for the abandoned and left away cows and other animals in the street. Here they live with dignity. In Hindu religion cows are equal to Maa (Mother) that’s why we call them Gau Maa or Mother Cow.
Treating the wounded Cows
Many old and wounded cows are left out in the streets when they are dry. They are left to forage in garbage heaps and most often end up eating plastic. We rescue such cows and provide them a dignified safe life.
Serving and feeding the Cows
Divine Cow Shelter is a place where the Cows and other animals are given the best care and fed with green grasses, fruits and medicines. We are helped with donations by people who come here to help us serve the cows.

We take care of abandoned, injured and rescued cows, bulls and calves by providing nutritious food, clean water, medical attention, and lifetime accommodation. Here all the cows are given proper shelter and food. We provide all the facilities that adhere to welfare of cows which includes proper feed.
Cows are known to be the most beloved companions of the Lord Krishna, our forefathers adopted protecting and serving cows as an integral part of our culture and tradition. Bringing back the tradition of cow protection is our mission.
