In ‘Sri Venkatachala Mahathyam’ Lord Brahma became a cow, Lord Siva became a
calf and Sri Lakshmi become a Yadava maid and both the cow and calf were sold to
Chola king by Sri Lakshmi in a bid to provide milk to meditating Srinivasa in
Venkatachalam. There also he protected the cow from the curse of its herdsman.
The Lord did it, we do it. Sri Venkateswara Gosamrakshana Trust is established
for protecting the cow and emphasizing the spiritual importance of the cow apart
from its economic aspect.

Tirupati with all the facilities for maintaining the bovine population. Cow is
the greatest blessing of human race, lands grow rich, homes flourish and
civilization advances where the Cow is kept and cared for. The Trust also aims
at improving the living conditions of cows outside Goshala by providing
technical inputs to the general public.
