I tend to agree with Hare Krishna Devi. This sounds to me like Govardhan Puja

Syndrome: when everyone come down to the Goshalla and worships the cow for a

day. The question is: what about the other 364 days of the year? What about

when the festival is over. Yes, some will give money - but where is the man

power, where is the planning and thinking and commitment that is needed to make

 

Srila Prabhupada's plan a reality? Who would not give to a cow? - but who will

give to the maintainer of the cow - or give even a portion of themself or their

 

time to that aspect of the mission?

Hmm... The problem is that there is a sentiment for cows, but very

little for Krsna's cowherds. People don't really see the connection

between protecting cows and supporting cowherds.

 

I'm sorry to say that I don't think there is any way that "cowherds can

be easily supported in the future."

 

That word "easily" is the chief stumbling block. Cow protection is a

sacrifice. It's usually not too easy -- unless you already have lots of

land or lot of money.

So, Hrimati Prabhu, how many teamsters are there? What are their names?

Who is their spiritual master? -- certainly he deserves some credit for

inspiring his disciples to work the bullocks!

 

your servant,
