Girivalam Kit GauSeva Initiative
Every Arunachala Girivalam Kit purchased serves two sacred purposes: supporting pilgrims and protecting GauMata (sacred cows).
🕉️ Our Sacred Motive
Arunachala is not just a sacred hill—it is Lord Shiva himself in the form of Agni (fire), radiating consciousness and grace. Pilgrims from around the world undertake the 14km Girivalam (circumambulation) to receive the divine blessings of Lord Arunachala.
During our own Girivalam journeys, we witnessed two profound realities:
- Pilgrims struggled without basic essentials like water bottles, maps, and guidance for the sacred 18-shrine circuit around Arunachala.
- Sacred cows across India desperately need support. We witnessed GauMata in Tirupati and other holy places struggling for basic nutrition and care.
We asked ourselves: "How can we serve both the devotees and GauMata simultaneously?"
✨ The Solution: A Zero-Profit Seva Model
We created affordable Girivalam Kits (₹50 each) containing everything a pilgrim needs. Instead of taking any profit, we committed to directing 100% of the savings to GauShalas protecting sacred cows. All operational costs—website, packaging, delivery, support—are borne entirely by Temples.bio as our dharmic duty.
🌱 Starting Small, Growing Strong: Currently, with limited sales, we're contributing to nutritious food for cows at a trusted Gaushala in Tirupati. As more devotees join this mission and kit sales grow, we plan to expand support to multiple GauShalas, covering medical care, shelter, and rescuing more cows near Arunachala and other sacred sites.

Gaushala in Tirupati
Currently, we're supporting a trusted Gaushala located near the sacred Tirumala temple in Tirupati. This dedicated facility shelters cows and provides them with daily nutritious meals. While our contribution is modest at this stage, every rupee helps feed GauMata in this holy town visited by millions of devotees annually.
🌱 Growing Together: As Girivalam Kit sales increase, we're committed to expanding our support to include GauShalas near Arunachala and other sacred sites. Your purchase helps us build a larger network of cow protection seva.

Join This Sacred Mission
Every Girivalam Kit you purchase serves both spiritual seekers and sacred cows. It's not just a product—it's a seva (selfless service) that honors dharma.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my money actually reaches the cows?
We publish detailed monthly reports with financial breakdowns. You can also visit the Gaushala in person during your Arunachala trip to see the impact. We encourage transparency and welcome questions.
Can I donate directly to GauSeva without buying a kit?
Absolutely! We have a direct donation option where 100% of your contribution goes to the Gaushala. Visit our donation page to contribute.
Why don't you take any profit?
Temples.bio was founded as a seva initiative, not a business. Our mission is to preserve and promote Hindu dharma. Taking profit from sacred cow protection would contradict our core values. We're privileged to serve.
Why Tirupati? I thought this was for Arunachala cows?
We're starting small with modest funds. Currently, we support a reliable Gaushala in Tirupati where every rupee makes an immediate impact. As more devotees join and kit sales grow, we'll expand to GauShalas near Arunachala and other pilgrimage sites. It's about sustainable, transparent growth.
Can I volunteer at the Gaushala?
Yes! The Gaushala welcomes volunteers. Contact us at support@temples.bio and we'll coordinate with the team to arrange your visit.
