Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 This should give a practical example of how unimportant the leaders feel cow protection and agriculture/farming is. Also Bhubanesvara (of which he is GBC) sold all their non productive cows last year to the local villagers whowere inimical to the devotees. We wrote to Bhakti Svarupa Damodara about it and asked if we could meet with him about it while he was in the USA. We got a brief reply (no response to meeting to discuss) and that he would get back to us. It is now about 8, 9 months later and no word.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Alright, alright. I admit I was wrong. I said that cow protection is a low priority with the GBC, but now we see that it's not even on their list. It's not a priority at all. But then again, what does priority mean? I see that "Child Protection" is listed as number 2 priority -- however, Mayapur, the flag ship community of ISKCON, currently has a known child abuser (they themselves declared him a child abuser) running one of their gurukulas. So I guess that to be a high ranking priority doesn't mean much after all. So, actually, I guess we can cheer up -- we're not missing much by not being included on a list like this ;-) ys hkdd ISCOWP (Balabhadra Dasa & Chaya Dasi - USA) wrote: >This should give a practical example of how unimportant the leaders feel >cow protection and agriculture/farming is. > >Also Bhubanesvara (of which he is GBC) sold all their non productive cows >last year to the local villagers whowere inimical to the devotees.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 To tell the truth -- it is best that they do not attempt varnasrama. They are so completely ignorant of Srila Prabhupada's instructions on the matter that they are certain to make a complete botch of it. Instead of Prabhupada's instructions, they will institute the Hindu caste system, Taliban style. It would be a complete catastrophe. I can think of nothing worse for our hopes of spreading Krsna consciousness around the world. I'm just as happy that they have forgotten varnasrama. ys hkdd Iscowp wrote: >Actually there is no mention of varnasrama development or could cow >protection and varnasrama be one category? > >Visit us at: www.iscowp.org > > > > >>[Original Message] >>Noma Petroff <npetroff (AT) bowdoin (DOT) edu> >>Cc: Cow (Protection and related issues) <Cow (AT) pamho (DOT) net> >>1/25/2004 5:50:03 PM >>Re: FW: Last Call - Global Excellence Award 2004 nominations >> >>Alright, alright.
