Stand with Krsna

[Guest guest]

<<We had similar experiences with caulilowers. It seems trying to compete

with the agribusiness industry is just not possible for small farmers what

to speak of organic ox-powered producers, unless you hock the prices right

up- but then you need the market for high-priced ethical produce.

 

It is not impossible. You have to know where to find your people. It will

only work on a local & small scale, but it can provide some income. It will

take a business mind, faith, determination and creativity. I've seen good

examples...

 

<<Best thing is if devotees cut down the endeavour (save time for chanting

etc.) and grow their own needs, and as much as possible show how cow

protection is simple and stress-free life.

 

Yes, but how realistic is it to live without monetary income in this society

? And where will you get your money from, if you spent all the time growing

your own things and chanting (lets say sadhana in general). You'd need some

business or extra job... No ?

 

< there is cow dung gas or just plain cow dung, both free if you are

prepared to collect it.

 

True, but will you get all the energy you need from cow-patties only ? I'm

just looking at a bunch of considerations that come with a colder climate.

Tropic climate is whole other story.

Dung digester will help a lot, but how will you get one if you don't have

money to get one together ?

 

<<To be on this conference might be a bit tough though. I wonder if we can

design a bullock-powered internet computer?

 

Not a bad idea if the computer is used to serve the cows' intrest again...

Then their efforts are a worthwile investement.

 

<< Or maybe ride a horse once a week to the nearest one?

 

Yeah, and spent a full day catching up with all the e-mail, and be late back

for milking. I think it will imply sacrificing such comforts if you choose

for a simple life. especially one where you have no monetary income...

I wonder if it will work...
