ISKCON Goshala - Animal shelter in Mayapur - Nadia, India

The ISKCON Goshala is a sanctuary of compassion. The dedication to the well-being of the cows is inspiring. It's not just a goshala; it's a place that fosters respect and love for these gentle creatures.

Love the spot. There is great facilities for cow - krishna There is various types of cows and there size is so so big Also they have there seperate names which are so cute . We can tough them, they never scare from us and very cooperative for a one touch. We can also feed them a cow cake type which can be bought in the counter. Veru very great place The Goshala at Govardhan Ecovillage was started in 2003. Beginning with only 9 cows & bulls, the number today has increased to 104 and is expected to reach 150 in next few years. One of the unique features at the Govardhan Ecovillage Goshala is the personal attention and care given, with separate special zones allocated for Bulls, Cows, Calves and milking Cows. Pregnant Cows are offered special diet and care to ensure proper health of the Cow and the calf. Old cows and bulls are given special care. Cows at Govardhan Ecovillage are treated as one of the family members and all due care is given to them. The health status of each and every cow is noted on a daily basis and is logged for long term monitoring. To ensure proper medical care a veterinary doctor visits the Goshala regularly and is locally available in case of all emergency situations. Primary treatments are done with homeopathy and herbal medicines. Apart from providing clean hygienic surroundings, fresh water and ventilation, great care is taken with regards to their diet. Proper nutrition is provided in the form of kadbakutti, corn flour, tuar and wheat bran. Lucerne grass, Yeshwant grass, Paragrass grown at our own farmland provides very good nutrition for our Cows. With 7 people serving the Cows round the clock, it is ensured that all timely requirements are taken care off. Govardhan Ecovillage Goshala provides excellent facilities for Cows and bulls, setting world-class standards in Cow care with rope free zones, fresh water, special calf care and many other practical considerations. Traditionally cows are treated as one of the family members and due care is given to them. As for their diet green fodder like corn & millet is being grown in abundant quantity.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Mayapur ISKCON Goshala recently and it was a truly wonderful experience. The goshala is home to over 500 cows and bulls, all of which are well-cared for and loved. The staff is very knowledgeable about cows and their care, and they are always happy to answer any questions that visitors may have. I was particularly impressed by the goshala's commitment to sustainability. The cows are fed on organic grass and hay, and their manure is used to fertilize the fields where the grass is grown. This creates a closed-loop system that is beneficial for both the cows and the environment. I would highly recommend a visit to the Mayapur ISKCON Goshala to anyone who is interested in learning more about cows and their importance to Hinduism. It is also a great place to simply relax and enjoy the company of these gentle creatures.

Big space for this GoShala situated in Mayapur Iskon area. We went there by Auto for Rs.20/- per person of one side fare. There was so many cows. I have never seen earlier so many cows in one place. The place is well maintained and clean. Well managed.

Just like the temples in Mayapur, Gasala is also a beautiful place to visit. In Goshala the main attraction is the cows and bulls / . Gosala is 6-8 min walk from main temple. In mayapur so many temples are Only this place you can find how the cows are treated as god. The cows are so much bigger. Goshala is always taking care of the cows and bulls. The interesting thing is that there cow's and bulls have different different names. You can buy food in Goshala for the cows and bulls. Cow vahicle is also a new experience they serve for you. 10 rupees per person then you experience 10-15min through the vehicle the outside areas of the temple and many things. Infront of Ghoshala they sell kheer (kssiir), sweet curd, lassi, ghi ghi. But I like Kheer very much. For sure, (( Don't make the mistake of buying ghee for home )).

Love spending time with Gomata but didn't find any small calf there to feed this time. Got to see some powerful giants there too.

Your soul will be rejoiced as you will find yourself in front of Gomata. The cows and the Bulls are huge here and are kept in such a great condition that you will be overwhelmed seeing the huge horns and giant figures. The quality products are all dairy made and also the gomutro and dung is also used in many products. The place itself is such a big place and so peaceful that you can relax your soul.
