Protecting Cows, Preserving Dharma

Srinidheeswarar Temple Goshala (Sri Chandrasekara Kalpa tharu Goshala )

A Sanctuary of Compassion and Service
The Srinidheeswarar Temple Goshala is a sacred extension of the temple’s commitment to dharma, service, and the preservation of divine life forms. Rooted in the ancient belief that Go Seva (service to cows) brings purity, prosperity, and spiritual merit, the goshala provides a peaceful and nurturing home for cows that are aged, abandoned, or in need of care.

Our Mission

The goshala is dedicated to:

  • Protection and preservation of indigenous cow breeds
  • Providing a safe, disease-free, and stress-free environment

Lord Krishna in Goshala (Gopala Krishnar)

The presence of Lord Krishna in the Goshala (Cow Sanctuary) symbolizes love, compassion, and divine harmony between humans, animals, and nature. Krishna, who is lovingly remembered as Gopala and Govinda, spent much of His childhood among cows, caring for them with affection and playing His enchanting flute in their midst. A Goshala dedicated to Him becomes not just a shelter for cows but a sacred space filled with spiritual energy and peace. 
Divine Significance 
In the Goshala, Lord Krishna is revered as:

Gopala – the protector of cows 
Madhusudhana – the one who removes negativity
Govardhana Giridhari – the savior of devotees .

The presence of His deity or shrine within the Goshala brings a special sense of purity and devotion, reminding visitors of the deep bond Krishna shared with His beloved cows.
