The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) held its 3rd National Cow Protection Conference in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, bringing together leaders, practitioners, and experts from across India to strengthen collaboration, training, and a long-term vision in the area of go-seva. The conference, themed “Integrating Every Farm with Every Goshala in an Abundant Ecosystem,” marked an important step toward building a cohesive and sustainable model for cow protection within ISKCON.
The event grew out of an extensive nationwide effort led by the ISKCON Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture in India, which has been systematically visiting goshalas across the country. “What began as roughly 60 mapped ISKCON goshala projects in India has now grown to nearly 100, stretching from Assam to Kerala,” Kalakanta Das, the ISKCON Minister of Cow Protection and Agriculture, shared. These regular visits provide training, assessment, and recommendations to improve standards of care and management.
The entire event was sponsored by the ISKCON Kathwada farm team, and it received complete backing from leadership at every level—from the GBC to the highest managerial positions within the Indian Yatra, including zonal representatives—all of whom were present, significantly enhancing the gathering’s credibility and importance.
