Sri Sri Raghaveshwara Bharati Mahaswamiji emphasized the need to take care of indigenous cows through the participation of public and private entities. He praised the efforts of Shri Dinesh Shahra- Founder, DSF, for his commitment to sustainable living and preserving Sanatan Vedic culture through Gau Shaki and other cultural initiatives.

Cultural folk music and dance program were also arranged during the event to promote indigenous tribal heritage.

Shri Dinesh Shahra said, “We are delighted to have played a role in instituting the Goupala Gourava Awards, which is to encourage cow preservation and rural employment. Gau Seva is an integral aspect of our Sanatan heritage and culture. With better care of indigenous cow breeds, we can get multiple benefits like alternative fuel sources, healthier nourishment and soil enrichment, thereby helping India become Atmanirbhar (Self Sufficient). DSF is committed to promoting Gau Seva and other elements of Sanatan culture among the masses, especially the youth of this country”.

Shri Dinesh Shahra has authored a book called Sanatan Leela, which talks about the keys to manifesting our true potential using Sanatan wisdom. The book was unveiled by Param Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji – President and Spiritual Head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, on the banks of the holy Ganga in Rishikesh.

The Dinesh Shahra Foundation (DSF) was founded out of gratitude for all the knowledge capital Dinesh Shahra has gained over the last 50 years. The foundation is built to ‘Give Back’ to the entities responsible for the material and spiritual development of the society. Spirituality, sustainability, education, and women and child health, are the core causes of DSF.
