Barbaric treatment of cows in India

[Guest guest]

<<But since it is the Age of Quarrel and HYPOCRISY it is not surprising that

so-called non-devotees will do more to curtail demoniac activity, than the

"I am perfect, powerful and happy, so much success I have today..."-type of

"devotee".

 

For all it is worth, thank you for this sharp analysis !! It is simply

true...there ARE people 'out-there' (or to speak in my terms: outhere) who

DO have a heart and perform great sacrifices... insted of speaking from

ivory towers, we should seek cooperation with ALL people who do care. Many

people have something to contribute to turn the tide of Kali. We are none

less or more...

 

<<It will mean that those who are ksatriyas will become like death

personified to those who heartlessly abuse innocent animals. and are totally

intolerant of cruelty.

 

Powerful words of inspiration... where's such a great soul on this planet ?

I guess we small souls will have to put our heads together and put aside

differences. This could help a long way to reduce the bloodshed and enliven

peoples concioussness. It is never too late !!

 

<<We should not just flatter them to win their support and enhance our

prestige, but we should put on pressure through our enormous following in

India, that this is intolerable.

 

This is not just jelly belly stuff... there's lives at stake here !

Has prabhupada ever spoken pleasingly when talking about such serious

matters ? Do great souls ever speak pleasingly ? No, they decry 'injustice'

BOLDLY for the welfare of all. Their live is a lonely & rocky road ! Great

souls offer everything and usually loose it aswell... we should follow in

their footsteps according to our capacities. But, don't expect to be liked

and supported, cause that means you would already have lost the battle from

the very start !

 

<<Such as educating the people of India with books like "Dung is Gold Mine"

which show them that they lose out terribly even in a material sense

 

Yes, all varnas go hand in hand, and will help to turn the tide of Kali.

Don't let yourself be held back by fear. Do your duty and have faith!

 

<< We can take it as an opportunity to replace their

sentimentality-to-cow-protection-but-real-faith-in-aping-the-west, with

real-faith-in-cow-protection-and-disregard-for-the-west. We can through

pressure on the government and people of India, that it is in their best

interest to stop this malpractice

 

In the intrest of all of us actually. If cow abuse becomes the norm in

India, there won't be much turning back and hell will break loose. It will

be a big loss to the world and the preaching... This is indeed a wonderful

opportunity & challenge for Iskcon. I hope it will be taken up whole

heartedly...

 

<<Personally, if we don't give a damn,

 

Then who will ????
