My Dear Spiritual Son,

 

Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada who has

compassion all the fallen souls of this material world and is their greatest

well wisher by giving them pure Krsna Consciousness. Thankyou for your

letter which I have read carefully. My comments are given below.

Generally on such occasions the cows are bathed, dressed up nicely,

decorated and sumptuously fed. Sometimes they are fed with chapatis and gur

(molasses).

 

 

We have seen this practical go-seva rather then go-puja.

 

Your well wisher always,
