Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Hare Krsna dasi Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. With regard to ISKCON Law 507, I apologize for injecting an element of confusion into this whole search for the Minimum Cow Protection Standards. When I first responded to Sajjanasraya prabhu's request for the standards, I sent him a totally unrelated file. Then, in order to correct that, I sent the actual file from the GBC website. But, in the meantime, buried in a long string of e-mail messages, Chaya and Balabhadra had already sent the correct file, titled "Manual." So "Minimum Cow Protection Standards" and "Manual" are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that the GBC version has all the separate letter identifications for each category (e.g., a, b, c...aa, ab, ac... etc.) so that it could be used as a legal document. Also, the preface is very slightly different, but the standards are exactly the same. So I hope I haven't caused too much confusion in this. Again, my apologies to all. At least by now, everyone has several copies of the standards to discuss with their GBC! your servant, Hare Krsna dasi "COM: ISCOWP (Balabhadra Dasa & Chaya Dasi - USA)" wrote: > [Text 2341523 from COM] > > Hare Krsna dasi wrote: > > >[Text 2336284 from COM] > > > >Dear Sajjanasraya prabhu, > > > >Please accept my humble obeisances.
