Cow/Ag Reports Due

[Guest guest]

Dear Prabhus,

 

PAMHO. AGTSP.

 

Due to cow abuse and neglect in the past and present at ISKCON cow

protection facilities, Law 507 was passed by the GBC body last year.

According to this ISKCON Law (507) the GBC are required to file reports

about their respective ISKCON farms on a quarterly basis. This is the first

part of the "check and balance system" for cow protection centers set up by

the Minimum Cow Protection Standards passed last year (law 507).

 

Report forms and copies of the Standards have been sent to all respective

GBC. This is a reminder, humbling requesting that these reports be sent in

for the protection of ISKCON's cows to iscowp (AT) ovnet (DOT) com. If anyone requires

these and/or needs more information please contact cow (AT) bbt (DOT) se or

iscowp (AT) ovnet (DOT) com.

At this date the Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture has not received

reports

due June 30, 1999 and October 30, 1999 from the following ISKCON communities

(GBCs are listed in parentheses):

Dear Janesvara Prabhu,

 

PAMHO. AGTSP.

Since we submitted the listing of ISKCON Farms (Nov. 2) not current with

Minimum Cow Protection Standard's GBC report forms we have received requests

for said forms from Gunagrahi das Goswami, Bhakti Raghava Swami, Rohini Suta

Prabhu, and Malati Prabhu. Those forms are being sent by e-mail today.

Bhakti-tirtha Swami has just sent his signed report today by post for Gita

Nagari and we have received the e-mail copy today. Otherwise there has been

no reports from the GBC coming to this ministry.

 

> Is there something MORE important than protecting the cows?

 

We have submitted proposals to the ISKCON Foundation and the GBC (Mayapur

meetings 2000) for a modest budget so a ministry representative can travel

to inspect ISKCON Farms and we can prepare literature for the education of

all devotees in reference to the philosophical and practical application of

cow protection within our movement. The word of mouth which we are

receiving is that there is no money for this ministry's service.

 

Your servant,

Balabhadra das

ISKCON Minister of Cow Protection and Agriculture
