The Spiritual Significance of a Goshala in San Diego | Hanuman Temple
In Sanatana Dharma, the cow is revered as Gomatha — the universal mother who nourishes humanity selflessly. A Goshala is not merely a shelter for cows; it is a sacred space where compassion, dharma, and spiritual service unite.
At Hanuman Temple Goshala in San Diego, California, this ancient Vedic tradition continues on American soil, preserving the divine heritage of sacred GYR (Gir) cows for the benefit of the community.
Why Is the Cow Considered Sacred?
Scriptures describe that 33 crore Devatas reside within Gomatha. The divine cow Kamadhenu and her daughter Nandini are revered in Vedic tradition as embodiments of abundance and spiritual grace.
Serving cows through Go-Seva is believed to:
- Bring peace and harmony to families
- Remove obstacles and negativity
- Promote prosperity and spiritual merit
- Strengthen connection to Sanatana Dharma
