Help ISKCON's Govardhan Eco Village in caring for cows and other animals

In a world where animals are too often seen only as commodities to be bought and sold, Govardhan Eco Village stands as an exemplary exception. Our NGO partner is a sanctuary where cows, bulls, retired racehorses, and many other animals find not just shelter but a true home. At ISKCON's Govardhan Eco Village, every life is sacred and deserving of love, care, and respect. Here, animals are embraced instead of being seen as a burden. The dedicated and compassionate team truly believes they deserve a life of dignity too.

However, the NGO depends on public support to provide the best care to animals. Sustaining this refuge of compassion requires resources for food, housing, medical care, and the dedicated hands that make it all possible. 

Your support can help ensure that no animal under this roof ever experiences fear or deprivation. Donate generously. 

Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking.

A home where no animal is left behind

The cows here enjoy a life free from exploitation. Unburdened by the demands of milking cycles, they graze contentedly, forming close bonds with the caretakers who tend to their every need. Through this work, the NGO and its team strives to show the world that true service is not about what one takes from nature but what one gives back.

“At Govardhan Eco Village, we don’t ask how gaumata (cows) can benefit us. We ask how we can keep gaumata happy,” says Gaurang Das, renowned spiritual leader and ISKCON Governing Body member.

And it’s not just cows that this NGO serves. When a racehorse’s racing days are over, its value in the eyes of the industry vanishes, and they are painfully put out. Govardhan Eco Village has become a home for many of these majestic creatures who would have otherwise met a sad end. Here horses roam freely across lush pastures, a life without the constant abuse. With expert veterinary care, balanced nutrition, and gentle rehabilitation, each horse learns to trust again and to thrive in a peaceful environment.

Male calves born on dairy farms often face immediate culling or abandonment simply because they cannot produce milk. At Govardhan Eco Village, they welcome them with open arms. Instead of a cruel fate, these young bulls grow up surrounded by affection, safe from harm and provided with the highest quality feed and medical attention. As they mature, they become symbols of hope, reminding us that every living being has intrinsic worth.

Give the gift of life and love to those who cannot ask for it in words. Please donate today and help continue this vital mission.
