Gow Dattata (Cow Adoption for One Year) is one of the most meaningful and powerful sevas offered at Sreepeetham. In this sacred practice, devotees adopt a cow for an entire year, taking responsibility for her care, feeding, and protection. This seva reflects deep devotion, compassion, and gratitude toward Gomata, who is honored as a symbol of purity, strength, prosperity, and divine energy.
What Gow Dattata Includes
The one-year adoption program consists of:
1. Gow Grasam (Daily Feeding of the Cow)
The cow receives nutritious food, clean water, and regular medical care every day. Feeding Gomata brings blessings for health, peace, and emotional strength. It is said that offering food to a cow removes negative energies and attracts divine grace into the devotee’s home.
2. Monthly Gow Pooja
Every month, a special Gow Pooja is performed on behalf of the devotee. The cow is worshipped with turmeric, kumkum, garlands, and traditional rituals. This pooja removes planetary doshas, protects from obstacles, and brings prosperity and happiness to the family.
