Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 23

[Guest guest]

Milk is compared to nectar, which one can drink to become immortal. Of

course, simply drinking milk will not make one immortal, but it can increase

the duration of one's life. In modern civilization, men do not think milk to

be important, and therefore they do not live very long. Although in this age

men can live up to one hundred years, their duration of life is reduced

because they do not drink large quantities of milk. This is a sign of

Kali-yuga. In Kali-yuga, instead of drinking milk, people prefer to

slaughter an animal and eat its flesh. The Supreme Personality of Godhead,

in His instructions of Bhagavad-gita, advises go-raksya, which means cow

protection. The cow should be protected, milk should be drawn from the cows,

and this milk should be prepared in various ways. One should take ample

milk, and thus one can prolong one's life, develop his brain, execute

devotional service, and ultimately attain the favor of the Supreme

Personality of Godhead. As it is essential to get food grains and water by

digging the earth, it is also essential to give protection to the cows and

take nectarean milk from their milk bags.
