Challenging service opportunity available - Minister of Cow Protection in

ISKCON

 

Dear Devotees,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to His Divine Grace Srila

Prabhupada.

 

A society devoid of cow protection and brahminical culture is not under the

direct protection of the Lord, just as the prisoners in the jails are not

under the protection of the king but under the protection of a severe agent

of the king. Without cow protection and cultivation of the brahminical

qualities in human society, at least for a section of the members of

society, no human civilization can prosper at any length.

 

Srila Prabhupada SB 1.14.34 Purport

 

An important and responsible service opportunity for those devotees who

understand how and why our society should protect cows. It is your chance to

change the history and please Srila Prabhupada by enthusiastic preaching and

uphold the dharma by emphasizing cow protection. Apply Today!

 

Requirements: Must be an ISKCON member in good standing. Experienced in cow

protection, farming and with strong desire to help our movement. Stable

devotional practice. Ability for teamwork, accountability, and

enthusiasm. References are helpful.

 

Please submit your application to GBC Secretariat before May 1st 2005
