They’ve Served Gaumatas For Over 16 Years, Now This Gaushala Needs Your Help To Save Them

Project

“We’ve seen more and more gaumatas becoming a part of our family over the years. Calves that have been brought to us injured and sick have recovered and stayed with us. We’ve watched them grow and we’ve taken care of them like our own. Every cow deserves this kind of love.” - Ramalakshmi, Managing Trustee, Shri Etteluthu Perumal Trust.

In 2004, Shri Etteluthu Perumal Trust started taking in injured and abandoned cows in Tamil Nadu. It was a humble beginning, but today they have grown to a family of nearly 1000 cows at their gaushala. Shri Etteluthu Perumal Trust was started with the principles of divinity, devotion, and service, and it’s these same values that stayed when they started the gaushala too. They aim to give every single cow a life of dignity.

Over The Last 16 Years, They’ve Overcome Many Challenges To Serve Gaumatas

Situated near the Thamirabarani river of Tirunelveli District in South Tamil Nadu, the gaushala is now home to nearly 1000 abandoned and injured cattle whose every need is taken care of here. They’ve continued their service for over 16 years, but none of this has been without its challenges.

“At the heart of our gaushala stands a sacred deity, Lord Diety, symbolizing the spiritual foundation of this place. Since 2006, we’ve been striving to build a proper shelter for the gaumatas, but limited resources and financial constraints have made progress slow and difficult. While we’ve managed to construct the ground floor, it remains incomplete. It’s only through the kindness of compassionate donors that we’ve been able to continue caring for our cows and keep this service alive.”

“The area that we currently have can only comfortably house around 300-400 cows. But there are so many more that depend on us.”

They Now Need Your Support To Continue Their Selfless Work

Shri Etteluthu Perumal Trust’s work has always been about the betterment of others. Whether it’s their daily annadanam for hungry souls and devotees or their selfless service towards the gaumatas, they leave no stone unturned.

“There’s nothing we haven’t seen - cows so badly injured that they couldn’t even move for years, we’ve seen them abandoned, we’ve seen sickly cows being left to fend for themselves… but we’re proud to say that they have all found a home here with us. But we can’t continue serving them without your support.”

Shri Etteluthu Perumal Trust now needs your support to get construction materials so that they can complete building their shelter and take care of their 1000 cows and take in more that are in need of help. They also need fodder and medicines for injured and abandoned cows.

Your contribution will truly save the lives of these voiceless animals.
