ISCOWP This Week

April 23, 2000

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.

Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.6.12 Purport

More quotes from Srila Prabhupada on cow protection can be found in the
