KAPILA – The Goshala at Madyar Temple

Sri Parashakthi Temple at Madyar has been witnessing sustained development since its inception over the vast expanse of land. The latest addition is the holy abode of gomatha, i.e. “KAPILA”, the goshala. Located in the north-west corner of the temple, the goshala has come up in the placid surrounding, .capable of accommodating around 60 cows. The systematically developed complex has all the amenities required for careful nurturing of the cows, like fodder section, medical storage, disposal channels, feeding bays and storage room. Bio wastes are utilized for slurry preparation and are being pumped for irrigation purpose. A modern bio gas production unit has been set e cows on a regular basis. up here, catering to cooking requirements. Exclusive houses for the caretakers have also been constructed right adjacent to the goshala for round the clock monitoring of the cows. It is really a feast to watch the cows enjoying themselves in the company of calves here. Devotees visiting the goshala get a deep sense of satisfaction, as the cows are considered to be ‘kamadhenu’ and embodied with thirty three crores of devatha chaithanyas. Some of the devotees also volunteer themselves in the service of these holy cows.

The cajoling sound of ‘amba’, caressing of the calves by the cows with tender care, greeting the visitors curiously with eyes wide open and stretched neck – all these will lighten the heart of the devotees, who return with a sense of great satisfaction. When the experience gained here is analysed in the light of its applicability in our life, it leaves a profound impact on us in terms of satvik virtues.
