Gau Seva - A Heritage Of Healing

“Where cows roam freely, peace and healing flow naturally.”

Rigveda (c. 1500–1200 BCE)

Reference to cows as Aghnya (अघ्न्या): Meaning “not to be killed”, indicating cows were seen as sacred and central to life and health. Cows were associated with health, purity, and nourishment. Cow milk and ghee were offered in yajnas (sacrificial rituals) believed to cleanse and heal the environment and the self.

Manusmriti & Dharmashastras

Cows are seen as Kamadhenu – the divine wish-fulfilling being, Integral to both ecological balance and human wellness.

At Shree Krupa Farm Gaushala, we honour an ancient Indian tradition where healing begins in the presence of cows. Known as Gau Chikitsa, this practice blends Ayurveda, Vedic wisdom, and emotional wellness—all centered around the sacred Indian cow. Therapeutic, spiritual, and medicinal benefits of cows, especially the indigenous Indian breeds, are well-documented in Vedic scriptures, Ayurvedic texts, and spiritual literature that mention or allude to cow therapy, also known as Gau Chikitsa or Gau Seva Chikitsa. For over 5,000 years, Indian scriptures have revered cows as nurturers of physical, mental, and spiritual health
