Hare Krishna Prabhuji,
PAMHO
I do not want to miss an opportunity to glorify mother Cow. I have been lucky serving ISKCON Project from past 8years. Just 5-6 years ago, when our Pune New Temple Project started, there were many marathons for fund raising; even I extended my seva neglecting my health.. Late nights, irregular eating times, not drinking water throughout the day, as a result I slowly started getting skin infections. It first developed on back of my neck.

Question: Incase if we follow all instructions as per Vedic scriptures (for e.g. about Ghruta, our eating habits, sleeping habits etc) we will not be able to preach because of time constraint. Srila Prabhupada had said that ours is a preaching movement. Prabhupada could have comfortably stayed in vrindavan living his life according to scriptures, but he sacrificed his life just to preach. I would like to know your suggestions in general for devotees as of now?

I received this article written by Devinder Sharma via an email sent by a friend. I thought it was some thing worth reading.
Holy Cows — Acclaimed abroad, despised at home
A couple of days back, newspaper in Punjab reported that an American company — World Wide Sires Ltd — is planning to provide high-quality semen to dairy farmers. Some days back, I had heard that the Kerala Minister for Animal Husbandry was thinking of importing some improved cattle breeds from Denmark for cross-breeding with the local cows.
I find this shocking. Read the rest of this entry »
Hare Krsna!
In our Vedic culture, cows are very sacred and are given respect tremendously. Divine kamadhenu cow appeared during churning of ocean.
In Vedas, the glories of cows are profusely mentioned. The main purpose of Vedas are not only to offer sacrifices to worship supreme lord but also to his representatives .The whole world is maintained and nourished by sacrifices. All the ingredients of sacrifice come from holy cow. Again, in absence of sacrificial offerings etc cow’s milk is one of the most important ingredients. Even the performer of sacrifice during the initiation drinks panchgavya. Read the rest of this entry »
