We have talked in the past about the idea of having 2 fast days a month

where anyone aspiring to be a brahmana would only take prasada raised by

devotees. If you don't have anything, drink water. But no limit on what

could be taken if devotee raised. That would create some incentive to

facilitate the process, and create a premium market for devotees who are

producing.

I of course have abandoned all varieites of religiosity and taken up soccer

as my spiritual quest, so I am sure the small amount of land a soccer field

would take up would be compatibile with cow protection. A soccer field is

not much over an acre. We could ahve small sided teams and take up even less

area, like 7v7 instead of 11v11.

The team mascot.

 

It takes 4 classes of men to have a soccer match.

 

Referee = ksatriya

 

Coach = brahmana

 

Player = vaisya

 

Groundskeepers, ball manufacturers etc =sudra

My guru used to say, "Chant Hare Krsna and be happy" Humor IS business.
