Cow Cuddling : Healing Therapy

We offer our patrons the benefits of the gentle and healing therapy of Cow Cuddling. Scientific research says that cuddling and hugging a cow helps cure depression in humans by stimulating touch receptors that release oxytocin, the social bonding hormone that reduces stress and anxiety. The therapeutic concept creates a wonderful bond between you and your cow. With their gentle movements, low heart rates and warm bodies, the experience of hugging is a blissful experience.

This meditative concept was introduced in the farmlands of Netherlands. It has been brought to Dakshin Kannada by the initiative of our visionary founder, G. Ramakrishna Achar, a keen animal lover.

Animals, especially cows understands all our feelings and gives us emotional support. According to a survey report from the U.S. department of health and human services pet therapy is the best way to cure depression, stress, anxiety, grief and loss.

Gau Pooja

In ancient Hindu mythology, a historical event known as Samudra Manthana took place, which involved great mystic power of Devas and Asuras to attain Amruta, the nectar of immortality. The churning of the ocean produced 14 Ratnas or mystical gems, that held its own unique powers.
One such gem was the mother of cows, the wish-granting goddess – Kamadhenu. In the Vedas, it is said that Goddess Kamadhenu represents the cosmos and beholds all gods and holy beings residing within. The Kamadhenu gem was given to the sages by Brahma, to perform yajnas with her ghee and provide nutrition to the beings.
Till today, her holy presence is praised by humans, showing devotion in the form of Gau pooja or the worship of the cows. Worship of Goddess Kamadhenu can bless us by wiping out bad karma, bestowing wealth and prosperity, resolving ancestral sins and fills it with positive energy removing any negative forces present.
Whithout Gomutra and Gomaya our devata karyas do not start and Maa Laxmi resides in Gomaya and Maa Ganga resides in Gomutra.
King Dilipa of Ikshwaku vamsha was childless. On vasishta maharshi’s advice he started to serve and worshipping the Nanadini and blessed with a child. Gou matha also helped Maharshi Vasishta in building up an army to fight a battle against Vishwamitra who wanted to take away Kamadhenu. As cow helps to remove poverty by giving health, wealth, comfort and positivity; and has the capacity to fulfill the desires, our ancestors used to perform puja as a symbol of gratitude.
Gou cuddling, Meditation: This is the era of tension, depression and stress!! Yes, the younger generation is living with electronic gadgets and has no connection with the nature and their selves and they feel as they are alone in the world.

But when we start to live with the nature and animals we feel happy and the life becomes happy. Animals, especially cow understands all our feelings and gives us emotional support.
