URGENT REQUEST!
Winter is a hard time to survive if you're one of our 46 cows or bullocks who have been hit especially hard by the intense frosts the likes of which have not been seen in this region in a very long time. New Gokula Farm is spending over $350 per week on lucerne feed for our cows and bullocks to help see them through the harsh winter months. We are requesting everyone to try and contribute any donation big or small to gain Krishna's blessings by performing this extremely important Go-seva. You may contribute directly to this cause via our paypal system or in person if you are visiting the farm. Thank you for your support of New Gokula Farm and our cow protection program which Srila Prabhupada stressed was the essence of human civilzation!
