Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Dear Samba dasa, You say: > The situation in Mayapur is as far from varnasrama > as you can get.

If we are really to take care of the oxen in Mayapur what we need there or anywhere else is people who understand that to become Krsna Conscious as a grihasta, one has to get serious about simple > living, and take responsibility for some oxen, and utilise them as Prabhupada describes. Of > course the manangement has to recognise that also > and give facility. Otherwise we have to have heavy subsidy, and hope we can find someone who really wants to take care of a lot of cows. If the cows are not happy, what happens to brahminical culture? Subsidy. Subsidy is only one answer, and the one that is very difficult to maintain. Maybe we should look to business as the answer - production and consumption of farm goods and the exchanges and profits this produces. Otherwise I appreciated your sentiments.
