“It is heartbreaking to see how people treat these innocent animals once they become old and sick. We come across so many cases of cruelty that break our hearts each time we find them in such conditions. I distinctly remember one such incident when her owner did not feed a cow that had stopped producing milk. Forced by pangs of hunger, the cow wandered off to other’s farms. When the owners received complaints, they simply chained the poor cow to a post,” - Champalal Chaudhury, volunteer, Narayan Dham Gaushala. 

Champalal ji shares a painful anecdote where this chained cow was left hungry for days. She bellowed in pain and struggled to let herself free but no one paid any heed. Finally, when she was rescued and brought to Narayan Dham Gaushala in Jaipur, Rajasthan, her limb was severely wounded - the iron chain had made a deep gash. Skilled doctors amputated her leg and now she is living a healthy life in the loving care of Narayan Dham Gaushala. 

The gaushala that started with only 200 cows now houses 2000+ gaumatas in need of attention

Narayan Dham Gaushala started in 2008 and since then, they gave worked tirelessly to look after injured, sick and abandoned cows. At present, they’re home to 2000+ gaumatas and the dedicated staff of the gaushala work tirelessly to serve them day and night. 

“The same people who call the cow a mother, abandon her when she is sick. It is painful to see them suffer so much. We also take in many cows who were on their way to slaughterhouses and were rescued by authorities. The fear and trauma in their eyes is heartbreaking…” - Amit Sharma, Narayan Dham Gaushala. 

Amit explains that the operation costs of the gaushala shoots up to 20-30 lakhs per month and donations cover only a small part of that. While the entire team at the gaushala want to serve many more cows in need but the financial crunch is making things difficult.
