According to Rupa Vilas' book The Seventh Goswami, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur kept a dog as a young man. So if do wind up in Hell, you'll be in good company. > Finally, are there any other animals or fowl (I dont want pigs), that > would be good to have on a varnasrama farm (apart from cows obviously)? If mice are a problem, either in the house or in the grain storage, etc, a cat will keep them away for the most part. We have one for that purpose. He never sets foot in the house yet we rarely have mice (and they were a terrible problem before we got him). We feed him on leftover prasadam only and he is healthy and happy and friendly. ys, Balarama Dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
