Cow Protection in New Govardhan, Australia
Karunamayi dasi: The Cow Protection Program is always an exciting team to be a part of as there is always something happening. Recently we received a beautiful new member of the family, Vallabhi. Vallabhi is a 12-year-old, full Gir cow bought from the same farm as our beloved Aja the bull.
This gentle cow was generously sponsored by Ranganath dasa from Brisbane in celebration of his son Vamana dasa’s marriage to Hitashi devi. The cow was named after Braja Vallabhi dasi, Hitashi’s first cousin, who left her body in Vrindavana last year.
Vallabhi is settling in under the diligent care of Krishna Kirtan dasa who has created a close bond with her. And what is the most exciting part of this? Vallabhi is pregnant! Everyone is very excited to soon welcome another new member of our beloved cow family.
A big shout out goes to all the hard-working cowherds dedicating their time to protecting the cows. The cows have been attracting many new potential cowherds recently, which is very promising.
Currently we have Krishna Kirtan working the bullocks, Gita Govinda devi dasi caring for the old and retired cows, Tim, Malcolm, Mani Bhanda dasa and myself caring for the milkers.
We also welcome Dinanatha dasa from Perth onto the team during his holiday here with his family.
