Saranagati cows have been receiving many guests that want to feed them.  If you want to bring food for the cows, only ORGANIC fruits/vegetables and natural will be accepted, but  gur/jaggery is NOT accepted at Ahimsa Goshala

guidelines

Perishable food, cooked foods, and jaggery with preservatives & food colouring will be thrown away.   We do not feed  cows grains, dough, or cooked food of any kind. 

Cows have individual health and dietary needs which need to be managed carefully.   Please join our mission to protect cows. 

Vedic Eco Village is seeking people to participate in the building of the eco village and farm. Goshala, campground, outdoor kitchen & solar shower facilities are under construction.  Burned trees from our forest are milled for ecovillage building materials. 

Our traditional Vedic mud-stoves (chulha) used for cooking and heating are available in multiple locations. We have successfully implemented these sparkless chulha stoves, combining rocket mass heater technology and traditional Vedic cooking methods.  These stoves are essential for safely cooking with fire in the summertime, as we are in a characteristically dry and high fire risk area.

Future Development Plans

As in the original Vrindavan, cows play a central role in the lives of the Brajavasis, similarly, we plan to focus all the activities within our Vedic Eco Village around cows and agriculture.

The cows in Saranagati would benefit from a heated winter barn.  We are building a new goshala to host cows during cold days.  The Goshala will be the first structure built in the VeV village square. Goshala project page

Human prosperity flourishes by natural gifts and not by gigantic industrial enterprises. The gigantic industrial enterprises are products of a godless civilization, and they cause the destruction of the noble aims of human life. The more we go on increasing such troublesome industries to squeeze out the vital energy of the human being, the more there will be unrest and dissatisfaction of the people in general.  Srimad Bhagavatam 1.8.40

Saranagati, in its truest sense, signifies complete surrender to God, particularly Krishna.

Devotional service means to accept favorable and reject unfavorable. This is called śaraṇāgati. Surrender means to accept favorable things, how I can make progress towards Kṛṣṇa,
