In earlier days all most all houses had cows and hence Goseva was an essential part of life. In recent times, in view of the migration to cities, Goseva has not been possible though not forgotten. If this trend continues, there is a danger that Goseva may vanish from our list of duties and our future generations may not even know about this sacred duty. Most of our children may not have even seen a calf. In current times it is not possible to have a cow at home, especially in urban centres. It has therefore become imperative that we create and sustain the interest in Goseva among the people of this and future generations.

Therefore there is a need to establish Goshalaas where cows can be maintained in a good environment . This has to be a community effort rather than individual effort.

"It is very important to create awareness; and once it is done, the man power and money will automatically flow. It is a matter of taking initiative by a few people in this direction and the required resources will come on its own. However, the person who donates money should also participate physically and similarly the one who toils physically should also contribute in whatever manner possible monetarily also. This will ensure total involvement and instead of bifurcation as donor and laborer class they will all come under the aegis of children of “Go Maatha” as a member of the same family.

It is my earnest desire that all Hindus should join united in this effort as a family and also include others to become one big family in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation. “Matha Abhimanam” (respect towards religion) may be different in different religions. But all religions are for “Jeeva kaarunya” ( compassion towards the other living beings) and using this, all of us of various religions, must unite and shoulder this responsibility by giving a helping hand".

The only option is to do Goseva by taking part in activities to further the cause of cow protection. We must support Goshalaas , physically and monetarily, to the best of our abilities.

We must also create an economic value for the cow by supporting cow based food products and medicines so that automatically the interest of the cow is taken care of.

It is the economic value of the cow together with its innate divinity that gave cow the exalted status and made Goseva a way of life.

This will actually be the “Real goseva”

Goseva is a Pariharam for several Doshas . The story of Dileepan who did Goseva may be known to all.

Let us all unite for the cause of Gosevaa. There is strength in numbers and even more strength in unity. Together we can achieve this.

The time to act is now.
