A COMMENT

NO ONE CAN ARGUE THE FACT THAT WHAT IS RECOMENDED BY THE GREAT SOULES IS

GOOD, BUT MY COMMENT IS;

WE NEED TO CONCIDER WHAT IS RECOMENDED AND WHAT IS GOOD FOR US IN A

PERTICULAR TIME AND PLACE

 

IF WE ARE TAKING THE MILK OF COWS THAT ARE BEING ABUSED WE MUST IN MY

OPINION TAKE THE KARMA AS WELL

 

WE ARE SEEING OLDER DEVOTIES IN ISKCON GETTING HEART PROBLEMS ETC AT AN

EARLEY AGE AND WITH THE EXHISTENCE OF Mad Cow Disease etc ONE HAS TO

CONCIDER WHAT IS ATCUALY RECOMENDED, LOOK AT THE SITUATION IN HAND AND ACT

APROPREATLY FOR OUR SPIRITUAL AND PHISICAL WELL-BEING

 

GAURA

 

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
