Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Mark, Please accept my respects. Do you know Balabhadra Prabhu (Mr. Dove) and Mother Chaya of the International Society for Cow Protection? They have been working to set an example of the exact thing you are inquiring about. I am personal friends with them both and they are first class people who are working out of New Vrindaban. They are a tremendous resource for you to contact. If you need more information please let me know and I will get it to you. Hoping this finds you earnestly engaged in the service of Lord Krishna.

We are working in partnership with ISKCON and IVU (International Vegetarian Union) groups to formulate a commercially viable model of cow protection. The name we have given to this endeavour is Protection Farms - for the profitable lifetime protection of farm animals. Its nature is essentially secular to appeal to business investors and consumers alike from all walks of life. Mahatma Ghandi claimed that cow protection was the greatest gift that Hinduism can give to the world. Yet, although the percentage of vegetarians in countries like the UK has increased to 10%, there is still no system of farm animal protection in place in the developed countries. This is due to history and the fact that the new paradigms have yet to manifest themselves on the physical plane. It can not be good enough to just be vegetarian, one must also consume from and support a farming system that has at its heart the moral values that vegetarianism demands. To consume milk products form the same system that produces meat, involves the compromise of allowing slaughter within the food-providing process. Also, crops produced via intensive agriculture or organic agriculture relies on the petro-industrial framework, not on a simpler process using intermediate draft-powered technology. I enter this discussion forum in the hope that a debate on this issue can be engendered that will ultimately lead to the implimentation of this farming system - Protection Farms - throughout the world. Thus, along with the chanting of the names of the Lord in every town and village, so too will be heard the mooing of protected cows and other lifetime protected farm animals.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Thank you Mayasvara dasa, Yes, I know Bala and Chaya from ISCOWP, but they are not interested in a farming system for the profitable lifetime protection of farm animals, only in Prabhupada´s vision where profit is no a goal. I am on the cow conference, yet very frustrated as ISKCON devotees will do business with anything except cows. All Iskcon farms are loss making, yet a business approach that I have been putting forward has been rejected by them as it is a deviation of Prabhupada's instructions - as if selling Hong Kong paintings or running a farm in debt is not.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Mark, Please accept my respects. I am sorry to hear that Balabhadra was not receptive to your ideas. I think you have a good vision and you are probably 50 years ahead of your time... perhaps more. But you are certainly on the right track. I agree with your frustrations regarding ISKCON, but somehow, despite the prevailing immaturity, and in some cases incompetence, we are compelled to push ahead and do all we can to reconcile past ills and forge new standards for the benefit of all the lost conditioned souls. If I can be of any further service to you let me know. Hoping this finds you earnestly engaged in the service of Lord Krishna.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Dear Robert, It is very nice to hear an appreciative voice out there, and from the ISKCON perspective. If you are truly interested, I suggest you get on the cow conference through ISCOWP and help me push the agenda. Yes, I do seem to be ahead of my time, but Prabhupada was light years ahead. The conference is becoming receptive to my perspective, yet to change a paradigm always brings resistance. Therefore it needs those who can see the vision to expouse it to the source of the old paradigm. That is the cow conferencers like Bala, HKDD, Syam, etc. So, feel free to help.
