The Vital Role of Cows in Agriculture and Surbhi Ashram’s Commitment to Organic Fodder

Cows have always played an indispensable role in agriculture, not only as revered animals in spiritual practices but also as key contributors to sustainable farming. Traditionally, cows have been considered the backbone of rural agricultural life. Their dung is used as a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil with nutrients and improving crop yields. Cow urine is also known for its medicinal properties and is used in various organic farming practices to promote plant growth. Furthermore, cows provide natural power for ploughing fields, reducing the reliance on harmful mechanized equipment.

At Surbhi Ashram, we recognize and honour the immense contribution that cows make to both agriculture and the environment. Beyond their revered spiritual status, our beloved Gaumata play a vital role in maintaining the balance of nature. With a deep commitment to their well-being, we ensure that the cows at the ashram are given the utmost care, especially when it comes to their diet.

To promote a healthy and happy Gauvansh, Surbhi Ashram grows organic green fodder right here on our premises. By cultivating our own nutritious, pesticide-free fodder, we are able to provide the cows with fresh and wholesome food that supports their overall health. This organic approach not only nourishes the cows but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability and ecological balance.

Our in-house green fodder is grown using natural farming techniques, ensuring that the cows receive the highest quality of nutrition without any harmful chemicals or additives. This holistic approach to caring for Gaumata helps ensure that they live long, healthy lives, and continue to play their invaluable role in sustaining the agricultural practices that are so important to us.

At Surbhi Ashram, we are proud to integrate traditional agricultural wisdom with modern practices, ensuring that our cows thrive in an environment that nurtures both their physical and spiritual well-being.

Request for Support to Expand Farming Land for Fodder Cultivation

As we look toward the future, one of the most pressing concerns for sustainable farming and livestock care is the growing shortage of quality fodder crops. At Surbhi Ashram, we are committed to providing the best care for our beloved Gaumata, ensuring that they have access to fresh, organic fodder year-round. However, the increasing demand for land to cultivate such fodder presents a challenge we must address now to secure the well-being of our cows in the coming years.

To meet this demand, we are seeking the support of generous donors to help us acquire more farming land in the surrounding region. With additional land, we can expand our efforts to grow nutritious, pesticide-free fodder, ensuring that our cows receive the highest quality of food while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

The rising scarcity of fodder crops, exacerbated by climate change and population growth, requires us to take proactive steps to secure a reliable and abundant food source for our animals. By purchasing more land for fodder cultivation, we can future-proof our commitment to healthy, happy Gaumata and contribute to the broader goal of food security and sustainable farming.

We humbly request your support in funding the purchase of additional farming land. With your generous contributions, we can continue to provide for our cows in the most sustainable and compassionate way possible. Together, we can ensure a bright future for Gauvansh, our community, and the environment. Thank you for your consideration and support.
