Devotees at Sahyadri Sri Krishna Balarama Ksetra (SSKBK) celebrated GOPASTAMI today November 16, 2018 by performing Gopuja and offering sweets, flowers and bananas to the herd of 41 cows, calves and bulls.
Since the last few days cows have been allocated their own grazing area totally separate from the bulls. The entire campus at SSKBK is gradually being transformed into a cow centred grazing facility with separate and designated areas for the bulls and the cows. These newly designated areas will in fact become what was traditionally known as Gochar Bhumi, or dedicated grazing land for cows.
The decision to keep the cows within the SSKBK campus was taken upon hearing recent major thefts of cows from neighbouring villages. The cows are more peaceful and getting the maximum benefit of the sun as can be seen by the brilliance of their skin and overall better health.
For the first few days, the 18 adult bulls residing at SSKBK took some time to adjust to one another living in the same area. The very first day was mostly spent establishing the pecking order, who is senior, who is junior and who is the supremo.
The bulls remain in the field all day and all night free to roam as they please. There are plenty of trees for shade. They have ample space to roam with 24 hours access to fresh water.
