About Goshala

As ordained by and with the Divine Blessings of Kanchi Mahaswamigal , Govindan Goshala has been established and is located at Gudalur Village, near Madurantakam . Madurantakam is where the famous “Aeri Kaththa Ramar” temple is situated. The distance from Chennai is about 80 kms on the Chennai- Trichy Highway(NH 45)

Govindan Goshala is an attempt to recreate the interest in cows and help people involve themselves in Goseva.

An area of 65 acres has been acquired for the Goshala. From a small beginning of 10 cows in 2004, the Goshala now has about 100 cows and bulls and about 100 calves almost all of them born in our Goshala over the last 8 years. All the cows are of native Chengleput breed and most of them were bought from farmers before being sold for slaughter. Necessary infrastructure like water wells, sheds etc have been developed. About 2500 trees have been planted and water conservation measures like check dams have been built. About 30 acres are to be utilized for natural grazing and fodder will be grown in 30 acres so that green fodder is available throughout the year. The entire area will be under organic cultivation.
