This Shradh transforms the lives of Gaumata in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand

Pitr Paksha is a time when we honor and remember our ancestors with deep reverence. This sacred period is marked by rituals and acts of devotion intended to bring peace to the souls of our forefathers. Among these rituals, serving cows holds a special significance, deeply rooted in our religious and cultural traditions. Cows hold a special place in our spiritual and cultural practices. Serving them not only brings us spiritual merit but also benefits society and the environment. During Pitr Paksha, we are launching a special donation initiative to support the care and well-being of cows.

Shraddh: A Time to Extend Compassion and Care As we observe Shraddh, a period dedicated to honoring our ancestors and reflecting on our duties, it’s a meaningful opportunity to extend our compassion to all living beings, especially animals who are often neglected or mistreated.

This Pitru Paksha consider making a meaningful donation to support the care and welfare of cows. By contributing to this noble cause, you not only aid in providing for these gentle creatures but also invite blessings of happiness and prosperity into your life. Your generosity during this auspicious period can help ensure that cows, who play a vital role in our lives and culture, receive the nourishment and care they deserve. Join us in making a difference and experience the joy and fulfilment that comes from giving back.

In Hinduism, cows are revered as sacred and are often regarded as embodiments of nurturing and benevolence. During Pitr Paksha, the act of serving cows is believed to bring immense spiritual and material benefits. It is believed that by caring for cows during this time:

• We earn the blessings of our ancestors: According to tradition, our forefathers visit the Earth in the form of animals and birds to partake in the offerings made during Pitr Paksha. By serving cows, we fulfill this sacred duty and earn their blessings.
• We cleanse ourselves of past sins: The act of donating or caring for cows during Pitr Paksha is believed to absolve us of sins accumulated over lifetimes and secure divine blessings. • We bring prosperity to our homes: Offering green fodder and other essentials to cows during this period is said to remove hardships and bring lasting happiness and prosperity to the household.

During this sacred Pitr Paksha period, let us all come together to honor our ancestors by serving cows. Your donations and support will play a crucial role in the success of this initiative. Serving cows will not only bring personal fulfillment but also contribute positively to our community.
