Gaushala

Gokuldham – A Sanctuary of Compassion, Ayurveda, and Tradition

In Hindu culture, the cow is venerated as a sacred symbol of life, abundance, and nurturing energy. Embracing this deep-rooted reverence, Nirvana Naturopathy Ayurveda Hospital & Retreat, has established Gokuldham: a thoughtfully designed Gaushala that serves as a haven for the protection, care, and celebration of these gentle beings.

Gokuldham is more than just a shelter; it is a sacred space reflecting values of kindness and service to the society. Built with compassion at its core, the Gaushala is spaciously constructed, allowing cows to move about freely. Each cow is provided with individual sprinkler bathing systems to ensure their hygiene and comfort.

Functioning as part of Nirvana’s broader mission, Gokuldham also serves as a rehabilitation centre for abandoned, ailing, or weak cows. Once they regain their health through dedicated care and nourishment, they are donated to deserving villagers who do not own a cow. This noble initiative supports Nirvana’s heartfelt mission: “Every House a Cow” — a vision to empower rural households with a sustainable source of nutrition and spiritual enrichment.

Adding to its deep-rooted social commitment, Gokuldham is equipped with a fully operational veterinary operation theatre, where injured or sick village cows and domestic animals are treated and operated on, free of charge,. A modern laboratory with state-of-the-art diagnostic machines is also in place to monitor the health of in-house cows and serve animals from surrounding villages, ensuring timely and accurate treatment.

Gokuldham is a testament to Nirvana’s commitment to animal welfare and sustainability. Caring for animals is seen as an act of dharma, a step toward inner purity, peaceful living and spiritual evolution.
