She has to renew the visa every year. Fondly called Sudevi Mataji, she started her cowshed known as &China wholesale metric nuts Surbhai Gauseva Niketan’.Bruning purchased books on cows and learnt Hindi.”Today, I have 1,200 cows and calves. Blind and badly injured cows needing attention are kept in a separate enclosure. Its the money of my parents that I have put into this gaushala,” she said.”I came as a tourist and understood that to progress in life, you need a guru.

Once a cow reaches her 3,300 sq yard gaushala, she would take full care of the animals by providing food and medicine.”I saw that people of late abandon their cows when they grow old and stop giving milk,” she said.Bruning has divided her place in such a manner that cows, needing special care, are kept at one place
