Than again, the employment the Ghoshes have are...Gardeners and Cowherds at

the ISKCON temple. ;-)

they do not own really any good land for cultivation. Their Village is

situated practically in the middle of the path of the Ganges. Their main

"trade" is selling watered down milk.

My Ghosh does not know how to read and write, but oh... does he know about

different grasses and how to catch a cow or bull...

As far as I understood, Srila Prabhupada liked the devotees to be self

sufficient.

He himself was only equipped with his books that he wrote himself and the

message of Krishna.

Even as a householder he tried to make his own medicines etc.

Even though the cowherds may seem to do a "low class" occupation, but if it

was not for them, than who else will take care of the mother cows? Without

that good milk what are the Brahmins going to drink?

looking at the picture as a whole and of course being practical, that is

what Srila Prabhupada wanted.

Everyone that has a modern occupation in the karmic society can still do

cow protection by supporting the hard-working cow herds so they can take

care of the matajis (cows) and the pitajis (bulls and oxen). This is the

only way this ideal idea that Srila Prabhupada has given us, can continue

nicely.

Not like in Mexico, that the cows have to suffer, because someone thinks

that he has to go to a different Guru or join the "Gopi bhava

club"...anyway, I don't want to get into that. If you do not start

shoveling cow dung what is the meaning of Gopi anyway...;-)

 

Do not feel bad Balabhadra Prabhu, you are doing a great job. your outside

job is taking care of your families and your cows. I think that is

important. You have such a nice family, all engaged in cow protection.

 

Hoping this will meet you in the very best of health by the grace of

Krishna.

 

Your humble servant,

Hrimati dasi
