This Aja Ekadashi help 2000+ old, Injured, and Abandoned Cows – All Sins Will Be Destroyed

Donate on Aja Ekadashi 2025

Aja Ekadashi holds a very special place in Hindu tradition. It is celebrated on the Ekadashi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. On this day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu with deep faith and devotion. It is believed that fasting and donating on Aja Ekadashi not only destroys all sins but also blesses the devotee with happiness, peace, and prosperity.

In Sanatan Dharma, Ekadashi is considered the most sacred among fasting days, and Aja Ekadashi is especially important because of its connection with divine blessings and salvation. As per scriptures, this day is also perfect for performing acts of charity.

Doon Animal Welfare, a dedicated organization in Dehradun, cares for more than 2000 cows—most of them old, injured, abandoned, or rescued from life-threatening situations. On this auspicious Aja Ekadashi, you can be part of this noble work by offering Gau Seva (service to cows) and making a meaningful donation for their food, shelter, and medical care.

1. Importance of Aja Ekadashi

Aja Ekadashi is considered to have the power to erase sins and grant the fruits of the Ashwamedha Yagya, one of the most sacred rituals in Vedic tradition. As described in ancient texts, when Lord Krishna narrated the significance of this day to Yudhishthira, He said, “By observing a fast and making donations on Aja Ekadashi with proper rituals, a person can be freed from all sins and attain salvation.”

The fast is observed with purity of mind and body. Devotees wake up early, take a holy bath, worship Lord Vishnu, and offer tulsi leaves, flowers, incense, and sweets. Charity on this day carries immense spiritual value and is believed to bring blessings not only in this life but also after death.

2. Why Donation Matters on This Day

Donation (daan) has been an important practice in Sanatan Dharma for thousands of years. The scriptures explain that charity done at the right time, to the right recipient, and with a pure heart brings the highest rewards. The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita states:

“Yat daanam iti yat daanam deeyate’nupakaarine
Deshe kaale cha paatre cha taddaanam saatvikam smritam”

This means that giving to a deserving person or animal at the right place and time, without expecting anything in return, is considered pure charity (saatvik daan).

On Aja Ekadashi, donating for the service of cows is considered highly virtuous. Cows are revered as symbols of motherhood, nourishment, and compassion. Protecting them is seen as protecting Dharma itself.

3. Why Serve Cows on Aja Ekadashi

Cows are gentle beings that give us milk, dung for farming, and contribute to our culture in countless ways. Sadly, many cows are abandoned when they grow old or get injured. Doon Animal Welfare works tirelessly to rescue such cows, treat their injuries, and provide them with a safe and loving shelter.

It is also believed that on Aja Ekadashi, feeding a cow with jaggery roti (gud roti) removes negativity from the home and brings happiness to the family. This simple act of kindness is said to invite peace, harmony, and divine blessings into one’s life.

By donating on Aja Ekadashi, you can ensure that these helpless animals receive:

• Nutritious green fodder and grains for proper nourishment.
• Medical treatment for wounds, fractures, and diseases.
• Shelter and care in a clean and safe environment.
• Love and dignity in the final years of their lives.
