Last Call - Global Excellence Award 2004 nominations

[Guest guest]

This is very sad that there is no mention of cow protection or agriculture.

 

It is hard to believe -- and not.

 

This has to be corrected. Doesn't the ministry for cow protection have any

authority, or have they created this position simply to pacify us -- lull us

into complacency?

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.
