The Gau-Teerth Project — establishing an Indian cattle-based way of life, one shrine at a time.
An initiative of K.B. Singh Foundation · Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh
गावो विश्वस्य मातरः
A sister concern of The Right Energy
The Right Energy and the Gau-Teerth Project are sister concerns — two expressions of a single conviction. Our work is the energy of a space; theirs is the energy of the land that feeds it. Right energy, positive energy, sacred energy: whether it moves through a home or through the soil of a village, it obeys the same law — what you tend with intention returns to you manifold.
The thread between them is a person. Shri Narendra Singh Parmar, who heads the K.B. Singh Foundation, is the mentor behind every company we run — The Right Energy among them. The Gau-Teerth Project is led by his Foundation, and every contribution described on this page reaches it directly. We stand beside the work as a sister concern, sharing its mentor, its values, and its belief that the well-being of any place begins with how it treats what sustains it.
Indian cattle are unique creatures in the world — beings whose bodily waste is itself held to be sacred. Since time immemorial, cow dung and cow urine have been used in every human ritual from birth to death on the soil of Bharat, as an integral part of Indian cultural tradition and Sanatan Dharma.
Because the Indian cow is revered as a Mother, and because cow slaughter is held to be a grave sin, farmers in almost every village guard their fields and merely drive the cattle away — from sowing right through to harvest. Even today no farmer resorts to slaughtering them, although flawed government policy has led cattle to be seen as an obstacle to the production of grain, fruit and vegetables.

IThe project
The Gau-Teerth Project
To honour the Sanatan belief that Goddess Lakshmi resides in cow dung and Goddess Ganga resides in cow urine, a nationwide initiative is establishing Gau-Teerths — cow shrines — across Bharat. Their purpose is the protection and conservation of Indian cattle, especially in the rural belts of the country and in the land bordering our forests.
To establish an Indian cattle-based way of life, our Foundation has been giving the Gau-Teerth concept a living form at Khajuraho — the world-famous heritage destination in Madhya Pradesh — where destitute cattle have been sheltered and cared for over the past four years. And because Bhairava is worshipped alongside the Mother in our dharma, indigenous dogs are reared here alongside the cattle.
IIWhat we do
Objectives & services
Food production, water conservation and the control of pollution are the foundations of a healthy human life. The project streamlines a way of living built on the dung and urine of Indian cattle, through three lines of work.
Pure worship materials
Selected women's self-help groups in the Gau-Teerth workshops prepare raw cow milk, curd, ghee, and pure puja and prasad materials made from cow dung and cow urine for temples.
Health protection centres
At selected Gau-Teerths, an arrangement for the protection of physical and mental health in accordance with the Indian Ayurvedic scriptures, suited to each stage of life.
