In the sacred village of Radha Kund, nestled near the holy town of Vrindavan, lies a serene and spiritually charged haven — the Radha Surabhi Gaushala. Renowned as the best Gaushala in Radhakund, this shelter is not just a home for cows, but a living embodiment of dharma, devotion, and duty. Every day here is a reflection of deep-rooted Indian values where cow protection is not just a responsibility, but a joy shared with devotees, donors, and volunteers from all walks of life.
The Philosophy Behind Radha Surabhi Gaushala
In Vedic tradition, Gau Seva (cow service) is considered one of the most sacred forms of devotion. Our scriptures regard cows as Kamdhenu — the divine wish-fulfilling being. Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, the ancient culture of nurturing cows often gets neglected.
Radha Surabhi Gaushala was established to revive this very consciousness. It was built keeping in mind where cow seva is not only easy, manageable and deeply enriching but also deeply fulfilling. Our mission is rooted in transparent management, ethical and medical treatment, and heartfelt service towards cows, particularly those abandoned, injured, or aged.
From Donations to Daily Duties: How It All Connects
Many people wish to contribute to cow protection but hesitate, wondering: "Where does my money go?" or "Can I make a real difference?" At
Radha Surabhi Gaushala, we believe transparency builds trust, and trust builds lifelong support.
Here’s how your donation for cow seva directly transforms lives:
1. Feeding and Nutrition
A healthy cow is a happy cow. Donations collected through the website are used to provide:
● Fresh fodder (Hara Chara, Bhussa, Khal)
● Medicines, vaccines and first aid care
● Drinking water systems
● Special diet for weak, sick, or pregnant cows
2. Shelter and Hygiene
At Radha Surabhi Gaushala, every cow, calf, and bull receive compassionate, personalized care depending on their condition.
● Downer cows are taken care of by providing them weather appropriate bedding to lie on
● Handicapped and lame cows are cared for in a special section which currently holds around 400 such animals.
● Blind cows, often left helpless on streets, are kept in a quiet, dedicated area where our caregivers assist them with feeding, movement, and comfort.
● For cows with contagious illnesses like FMD, we’ve created isolated enclosures to ensure they receive proper treatment while protecting the rest of the herd.
3. Veterinary Care
The heart of our mission lies in rescue and recovery. At Radha Surabhi Gaushala, we take in the sick, injured, abandoned, and even those at risk of slaughter giving them a new life.
● Our ambulance vans operate daily, rescuing cows, calves, and bulls from harsh conditions, accidents, or illegal transport trucks.
● Upon arrival, each animal undergoes a complete medical assessment. A skilled veterinary team provides on-the-spot treatment, and our 20-member wound care team cleans, dresses, and monitors each injury with devotion.
● We offer regular vaccinations, Ayurvedic treatments, and custom care routines to support full recovery.
4. Rescue and Rehabilitation
Radha Surabhi Gaushala is not just a shelter—it’s a sanctuary for those who have nowhere else to go.
● We routinely take in abandoned cows, accident victims, and orphaned calves, especially those rescued from slaughter-bound trucks.
● Motherless calves are lovingly bottle-fed, or gently adopted by nurturing cows in our care. Their growth is closely monitored, ensuring they receive the nutrition and emotional warmth necessary from all-around growth.
● Once recovered and healthy, some cows are transferred to larger partner Gaushalas like Barsana’s Mataji Gaushala, where they continue to live happily. This frees up space at Radha Surabhi for more critical rescue cases.
Transparency Builds Trust: Keeping Donors Connected
At Radha Surabhi Gaushala, we believe donors are more than supporters—they are partners in seva. The donations received are used in all the areas related to cow welfare be it food, infrastructure and even first aid services. We prioritize open communication and accountability with our donors:
● We offer clear expense tracking upon request, so donors can be satisfied about the use of their funds.
● We encourage donors to visit us and engage with the cows to see the daily activities of the gaushala. They are more than welcome to visit the Kirtan Hall and feel the chanting create a positive atmosphere around them.
When you donate for cows, you’re not just contributing—you’re becoming part of a compassionate mission rooted in truth, trust, and transformation.
