Salutations to GOMATHA, the nourisher
of all lives.
The Shree Math has committed itself to the noble mission
of saving, caring and propagating native Indian breeds of
cattle. It is a matter of great concern that many of these
rare breeds like Malnad Gidda, Ongole, Gir, Javari, Rati,
Sahival, Krishnavalley, Vechur, Khilari, Amrithamahal, Kankrej,
Hallikar, Dangi etc., are on the verge of extinction. These
cows are procured from different parts of the country and
reared in the sylvan atmosphere of Hosanagara and other Goshalas set up by Shree Math.
‘Amruthadhara’, the unique cattle shed at Hosanagara,
houses the largest variety of native breed cattle in the
country and is a true Gokula of modern times. This eco-friendly
Goshala provides a lot of space for the cattle to move around
and fulfil their needs.On the same lines 'Amruthadhara'
goshalas has been set up in Kaggalipura,near
Bangalore,.Bajakudlu,near Perla,Kerala.

Today,
the milk of human kindness has drained from the hearts of
men and the cow is viewed just as a milking machine whose
final destination is the slaughter house The Shree Math has
taken many positive and practical steps to prevent cruelty
towards this universal mother. Mass awareness programmes on
the benefits of rearing and protecting native cows are arranged
in different parts of the country. The Shree Math endorses
the maximum utilization of cow dung and urine in industry
and households, thereby, motivating farmers to take care of
their cows till the end of their life spans.
A unit has been set up in Hosanagara which manufactures life
saving drugs, fertilizers, agarbathis, pesticides and other
products of daily use like tooth powder, soap and shampoo,
out of milk, ghee, cow dung and cow urine. These products
will be marketed through Seema parishath.
A research centre and a library for the collection and study
of books related to cattle rearing and breeding is being established.
To creat
wareness of importance of Indian Cow breed Math has conducted
so many campaigns and also constituted committees at taluque and district head
quaters to facilitate establishment of Goshalas, centers for
procuring Cow urine, cow dung and organizing awarness programmes.
