About Surabhi Gir Goshala

Surabhi Gomaata Seva Trust® was founded in May 2023 by Sri Govind Kirtana Dasa (S. Govindappa) and Sri Venulola Dasa (Venkatesh Mudgal) with the divine desire to share transcendental knowledge and help society advance spiritually by practicing the Vedic way of life. The Trust began humbly with two Gir cows – Kumkum and Saraswati. With divine blessings, it has now grown into a serene spiritual centre featuring:

  • A Goshala (capacity: 35 cows)
  • Parama Karuna Sri Nitai Gouranga Temple
  • A Kitchen serving up to 200 people daily
  • A Party Hall for 100 people
  • Open Dining for 200 guests
