Gopashtami 2024 At Shaalvi Organics

Hello everyone, hope you all are enjoying the winters with your favourite hobbies and food. Welcome to our very first blog post, where we will take you to 9th November 2024, when we celebrated Gopashtami at Shaalvi Organics Farm. There couldn't have been a better subject to start these blogs with, than this one!

A little story on why is Gopashtami Celebrated:

On this day, - the 8th lunar day of kartik month, lord shri krishna went to herd the cows for the first time. Earlier, he used to herd the calves with his brother and friends, however on this day, as he turns 13, he is instructed by Shri Nand Maharaj to herd the cows. Hence, this day is today celebrated by worshipping the cows and their bond with Shri Krishna.

And for us, at Shaalvi, our philosophy is based on the building a better world for cows, that's why this is the most special day for us. At our farm, we have 200+ beautiful, healthy and happy Gir Cows, who get free space to roam and graze.

At Shaalvi Organics

The chief guests were: Shri YagyaDev(a renowned yagya mentor at Patanjali) and his team. His knowledge on yog, wellness, and yagya is truly enlightening.

The day started with Gau-poojan - where the maharaj ji performed a short pooja with one of our cows, and our founders, Mr and Mrs Agarwal. This pooja was followed by a special treat session where all the cows were fed the healthy sweet 'kutti', (some guests even got finger-licked cleansing :P)

This moment left everyone laughing and joyed with love that our cows displayed.

After this, Shri Yagya dev and his team started preparing for the Gopashtami Yagna.

The Yagna symbolizes commitment, peace, and faith toward positivity in life. Taking the goal as betterment of Cows and the sustainable initiatives at farm, we started the Yagna with all the team members' and guests' presence.

Shri Yagya dev shared positive stories about the impact of yagna on the health and respiratory improvements in the body.

Organic Lunch

After the successful and peaceful yagna, the guests were invited to the 100% organic lunch having the simple and authentic dishes. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food sitting under the dense greens of the farm.

This was followed by the facilitation of the Yagya team and all the guests with a little token of love, and our Organic Gift Hamper.

Once again everyone visited and thanked the Gir Cows for their invaluable contribution to keep the nature brimming with love and nutrition.

At Shaalvi Organics, we have always lived a cow-centric lifestyle which started in the year 1998, with only 1 Gir Cow. It took decades to understand the wonders Gir Cows bring to the human lifestyle, and to be finally able to expand it, in order to empower the state of cows in this country whilst also encouraging organic, sustainable lifestyle.

Such festivals bring like-minded people together to celebrate the giver of the nutrition!
