DHYAN FOUNDATION

CHENNAI:  Yoga does not mean mere personality development or improving one’s health. But it should radiate concern for all living beings leading to effective measures to contain negativism. This is what yoga guru Ashwini appears to demonstrate. His disciples or volunteers, drawn from various walks of life, helped him establish 30 goshalas across the country to take care of sick cattle and those rescued from the abattoirs. “We are being intimidated by those running slaughter houses and are facing 2,000 cases in various courts. But still our mission to protect cows and camels, abandoned dogs and monkeys, continues,” says Yogi Ashwini who was in the city on Sunday.

Each goshala accommodates 500 to 1,000 cows and the maximum number of 1,200 cows is being taken care of at the goshala in Hyderabad. In Krishnaganj (in West Bengal) the Dhyan ...

At the risk of making neighbours ‘unfriendly’ due to her cow compassion, Aparna feeds green fodder to around 20 stray cows in Gomti Nagar’s Vivek Khand area, around 8 pm, almost daily.

There is adequate arrangement for clean water as well. While neighbours object to Aparna’s gesture, nothing deters her. “I take the responsibility to clean the place after the cows are gone. I even lift the...
