The Haridas Cow Foundation draws attention to the value of the cow in human society, and to the increasing mistreatment of this creature so crucial to human well-being. In the West cows are factory-farmed for slaughter in cruel conditions, and in India, while cows and bulls are not usually butchered, they are more and more left to fend for themselves in urban garbage sites. The Foundation mainly supports the Haridas Shastri Goshala in Vrindavan, founded by Haridas Shastri, well known in this holy place as a renunciate and scholar, to set an example of how this most valuable creature should be cared for. The team, under Ajay Jani, are all inspired by his example and dedicated to his legacy. I myself spend time every year in the goshala, and can vouch for the dedication and integrity of the managers and caretakers. The participants and associates of the Foundation are all successful professionals in their own right, whose only motive is love of and service to the cow. I can attest that all donations are channeled exclusively to the care of these creatures.

I had the great luck of visiting Sri Haridas Niwas several times in Vrindavan Dham. The cows there are kept in excellent shape, and I don’t think I have ever seen cleaner cows and go-shala. I live in a city in the West where there are no opportunities for go-seva, but when I learned about the Foundation I became inspired to participate.

I am grateful to be able to support the protection and care of the sacred cow through the Haridas Cow Protection Foundation. Originally I donated by wiring funds directly to India. Being able to donate through an entity here in the United States is very helpful and convenient.
