Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Very interesting. It looks like they are probably both overcrowded, but it's noteworthy that the Vrndavan program features many photos of "bulls" as well as cows. Only one is called an "ox." I'm hoping that some of the so-called "bulls" are actually oxen -- otherwise we'll quickly have a bad problem of overcrowding. Both could tell us a little more about their programs. Both have their pluses and minuses. Anyway, but at least the Vrndavan people get the point that they should be protecting oxen also. Thanks for calling this to our attention. ys hkdd Mark Middle Mountain wrote: >Note the contrast with this operation and the one we have been discussing. > > http://www.dipika.org/2004/04/30/23_care_for_cows_vrndavan/index.html > >----------------------- >To from this mailing list, send an email to: >Cow-Owner (AT) pamho (DOT) net > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hari Bol I have known Kurma Rupa Prabhu for many years. When I go to Vrindavan it is a" must do" to visit his compound and his cows/bulls/oxen. His program is first class and he is hands on in all aspects of the program. If he has no helper for the day he does everything himself with no burden of thought that he is working so hard. He is also giving morning Srimad Bhagawatam class and evening Bhagavad Gita class to the cows/bulls/oxen. Kurma Rupa Prabhu is a gentleman and scholor and a dedicated cow herd. Milk is not the concern. Care for the cows is the focus.His hands are rough and cracked from the menial labor he performs in serving the cows. His smile is big and warm. His heart is full of compassion for the cows. His actions in serving the cows is gentle and kind. Top of the line program. Thousands of prostrated obeisences at his lotus feet.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 They are the complete opposite. they started by protecting unwanted animals and only peripherally do milking - "Noma Petroff" <npetroff (AT) bowdoin (DOT) edu> "Cow (Protection and related issues)" <Cow (AT) pamho (DOT) net> Friday, April 23, 2004 1:31 PM Re: Care for Cows in Vrindavan > Very interesting.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Okay, you both have convinced me -- I'm impressed! Now if only someone would point out the difference to the devotee on Chakra who seems to think Mother Cow is so superior to the efforts of any of Srila Prabhupada's disciples... ys hkdd ISCOWP (Balabhadra Dasa & Chaya Dasi - USA) wrote: >Hari Bol > >I have known Kurma Rupa Prabhu for many years.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 A great article!!! My favorite parts: "I don't see many people protecting cows for the purpose of pleasing Krsna. Mostly they want to take service [milk] from the cow. " and "HKRL: You were mentioning that cow protection is vaisya activity... KRP: Brahminical also." -Gopal In a message dated 4/23/2004 11:14:09 AM Central Daylight Time, gourdmad (AT) ovnet (DOT) com writes: Note the contrast with this operation and the one we have been discussing. http://www.dipika.org/2004/04/30/23_care_for_cows_vrndavan/index.html ----------------------- To from this mailing list, send an email to: Cow-Owner (AT) pamho (DOT) net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
