Gau Rashak: A Day of Gau Seva at Mansa Devi Gaushala

Visiting Mansa Devi Gaushala is like stepping into a different world—a world where peace, compassion, and devotion coexist beautifully. Around 5,000 cows live here, cared for with immense love and attention. During our recent visit, we had the opportunity to witness Gau Seva firsthand, to connect with the caretakers, and to understand the dedication it takes to run such a sanctuary.

First Impressions: Walking Into a World of Care

The moment we entered the gaushala, the calmness was palpable. The gentle lowing of cows, the soft rustling of straw, and the sight of caretakers moving calmly between the animals created a serene atmosphere. Every cow seemed to have its own personality, and each one received individual attention—from feeding to grooming to checking their health. It was evident that this was not just a shelter; it was a home built on respect and love.

Feeding the Cows: A Lesson in Devotion

We joined the caretakers in feeding the cows. Watching them chop and distribute chara (fodder) with care was inspiring. One person, in particular, caught our attention—a man who has spent more than five years dedicating his life to Gau Seva. He had suffered a severe injury when his finger was caught in the chopping machine, yet as he continued to feed the cows, his smile spoke of pure contentment and devotion. It was a humbling reminder that true service is not measured by comfort but by love and commitment.

We also learned how the cows are fed. Each cow receives fodder according to its age, health, and nutritional needs. The caretakers explained the importance of a balanced diet, including dry fodder, green grass, and supplementary grains. It was clear that every detail mattered—they were not just feeding animals; they were nurturing lives with attention and care.

Daily Care and Compassion

Beyond feeding, we saw the daily routines of milking, cleaning, and health checks. The cows were handled gently during milking, ensuring minimal stress. The shelters were spotless, and each cow had a comfortable space to rest. Medical attention was readily available, and volunteers constantly monitored their health.

It became evident that Gau Seva is more than a duty; it’s a way of life. The caretakers’ devotion radiates through every action. They work tirelessly, often sacrificing their own comfort, motivated purely by love for the animals. It’s a rare glimpse into a world where service is an expression of gratitude and respect.

Real Stories That Inspire

Among the many stories we encountered, one man stood out profoundly. While chopping chara (fodder), he tragically lost a finger, yet he continues his work with a smile that radiates pure joy and contentment.

His story embodies the essence of Gau Seva—selfless service, unwavering devotion, and resilience in the face of hardship. Despite his personal pain, he dedicates his life to caring for cows with love and compassion, ensuring that every animal lives with dignity.

People like him are the heart and soul of initiatives like Gau Rashak, inspiring others to serve with empathy and commitment. His life reminds us that true service is measured not by comfort or ease, but by the love and dedication we put into caring for others—both humans and animals alike.
