Hare Krishna!

Dear Sri Vallabha Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

Just now I had written a detailed report to you. Before I could save the

letter, the power went out.

Hare Krishna, ....that is village life for you in India...

 

Please let me know where Tirunelveli is.

 

The main food for a cow is fresh green grass. It depends of the region your

parents farm is in, what grass will grow best in which season.

How much of the 95 acres are for cultivation?

 

Cow protection means to Protect all your cows throughout their life. This

also includes the male offspring.

Cows are for producing milk and bullocks are for producing food grains.

 

Here in Mayapur we are also making different kinds of medicines of cow

urine. it is said that the cow urine of the deshi cows in India are best for

this purpose.

 

TRANSLATION

 

While herding the very beautiful bulls, the Lord, who was the reservoir of

all opulence and fortune, used to blow His flute, and thus He enlivened

His faithful followers, the cowherd boys.

 

PURPORT

 

As He grew to six and seven years old, the Lord was given charge of looking

after the cows and bulls in the grazing grounds. He was the son of a

well-to-do landholder who owned hundreds and thousands of cows, and

according to Vedic economics, one is considered to be a rich man by the

strength of his store of grains and cows. With only these two things, cows

and grain, humanity can solve its eating problem. Human society needs only

sufficient grain and sufficient cows to solve its economic problems. All

other things but these two are artificial necessities created by man to

kill his valuable life at the human level and waste his time in things

which are not needed. Lord Krsna, as the teacher of human society,

personally showed by His acts that the mercantile community, or the

vaisyas, should herd cows and bulls and thus give protection to the

valuable animals. According to smrti regulation, the cow is the mother and

the bull the father of the human being. The cow is the mother because just

as one sucks the breast of one's mother, human society takes cow's milk.

Similarly, the bull is the father of human society because the father

earns for the children just as the bull tills the ground to produce food

grains. Human society will kill its spirit of life by killing the father

and the mother. It is mentioned herein that the beautiful cows and bulls

were of various checkered colors -- red, black, green, yellow, ash, etc.

And because of their colors and healthy smiling features, the atmosphere

was enlivening. SB 3.2.29

 

....more soon.

 

Hope this meets you well
