Pujyasri Gurudeva has stated that Cows should be protected by all.  The happiness and comfort of the nation depends on the protection offered to cows.  Vedas and Agamas talk about cows in an exalted manner, considering the cow to be very sacred and to be revered as one’s own mother.  Furthermore, according to the vedas, there are special places of abode of divinities in its body which helps in protecting humans.

मा॒ता रु॒द्राणां॑ दुहि॒ता वसू॑नां॒ स्वसा॑दि॒त्याना॑म॒मृत॑स्य॒ नाभिः॑ । 

प्र नु वो॑चं चिकि॒तुषे॒ जना॑य॒ मा गामना॑गा॒मदि॑तिं वधिष्ट ॥ ऋग्वेद 8.101.15

There are many references like a separate sukta in Atharva veda in Kanda 4 Sukta 21 talking exclusively about the above mentioned aspects of the cow. 

आ गावो॑ अग्मन्नु॒त भ॒द्रम॑क्र॒न्त्सीद॑न्तु गो॒ष्ठे र॒णय॑न्त्व॒स्मे । प्र॒जाव॑तीः पुरु॒रूपा॑ इ॒ह स्यु॒रिन्द्रा॑य पू॒र्वीरु॒षसो॒ दुहा॑नाः ॥ १॥ 

Sivasakthi Ashramam also houses a goshala with four cows and three calfs as part of Gosamrakshanam
