Our story

A Journey of Faith, Services and Gau Mata Seva

Pujya Shri Shri 1008 Gau Seva Maharaj Ji.
Maharaj Ji deeply believed that serving Gau Mata is the highest form of service to all creation. He often said, “Gau Mata is not just an animal, she is our mother who nourishes us selflessly.”
Witnessing the suffering of abandoned and injured cows, Maharaj Ji started this trust with a mission to provide shelter, food, medical care and love to every cow in need.
His vision continues to guide us in every step we take toward a better and compassionate world.

Serving Gau Mata is serving God. Their happiness is our prosperity.

β€” Pujya Shri Shri 1008 Gau Seva Maharaj Ji

Since the establishment of Shri Godham Mahatirth Pathmeda, countless cows rescued from slaughterhouses by devoted Gau Bhakts, along with injured, helpless, abandoned, and drought-affected cattle, have been provided shelter, food, protection, and care.

Through its network of Go-Sevashrams and Ved-Lakshana Go-Gram Seva Samitis established and operated across Western Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab, Shri Godham Mahatirth Pathmeda has continued its mission of protecting and serving Gauvansh.

The journey began in 1993 with just 24 cattle, including 8 Gomatas. Over the years, the number of cattle receiving care grew significantly:

1993: 24 cattle, including 8 Gomatas

1999: 90,000 cattle

2001: 1,76,000 cattle

2002: 2,15,000 cattle

2003: 2,84,000 cattle

2004: Following abundant rainfall and improved agricultural conditions, 1,54,000 healthy, milk-producing and agriculture-useful cattle were distributed free of cost among Gopalak farmers. The remaining 1,30,000 cattle continued to receive care in Gaushalas.

2005: A further 33,000 healthy cattle were distributed free of cost among Gopalak farmers. Subsequently, 97,000 elderly, sick, disabled, injured, weak, and dependent cattle remained under care.

2009: 72,000 cattle

2010: 2,00,000 cattle

2011: 1,25,000 cattle

2012: 1,22,000 cattle

2013: 1,27,000 cattle

2015: 1,24,000 cattle

2016: 1,27,000 cattle

2017: 1,22,000 cattle

The Mission Today – 2026

In 2026, approximately 73,500 cattle are under the direct care and management of Shri Godham Mahatirth Pathmeda.

In addition, nearly 84,000 cattle are being cared for in various Go-Sevashrams operated with the support of Shri Godham Pathmeda’s dedicated workers and the inspiration of revered saints.

Together, more than 1,57,000 helpless, abandoned, and Ved-Lakshana cattle are receiving shelter, nourishment, protection, and compassionate care through Gaushalas and Ved-Lakshana Go-Gram Seva Samitis operating with the guidance and support of Shri Godham Pathmeda.

Beyond its own network, Shri Godham Pathmeda has also inspired the formation of the Rajasthan Goseva Samiti. Through this initiative, continuous efforts have been made to provide support, guidance, protection, assistance, and encouragement to hundreds of Gaushalas and lakhs of Gopalak farmers across Rajasthan, whenever and wherever required.

From 24 cattle in 1993 to more than 1,57,000 today β€” this is a journey built on compassion, commitment, and an unwavering resolve to protect and serve Gau Mata.
