Cows – Some Important Instructions

Note:As such, if you can organize-and I believe you can do so, because by Grace of Krishna, you are in good position amongst the mercantile community—big dairy farms with large pasturing grounds, then the problem of milk supply and cow protection will automatically be done

Neither there is a king like Maharaja Pariksit, nor the present government of India is inclined to give protection to the cows. But the mercantile community, specially the Gujaratis and the Marwaris are undoubtedly rich in India, and I do not know why such mercantile communities do not open large-scale dairy farms. That will certainly give actual protection to the cows. From Bhagavad-gita we understand that the Vaisya community is specially responsible for giving protection to the cows as much as the ksatriya kings are responsible for giving protection to the citizens of the state. As such, if you can organize-and I believe you can do so, because by Grace of Krishna, you are in good position amongst the mercantile community—big dairy farms with large pasturing grounds, then the problem of milk supply and cow protection will automatically be done. I do not know how much you will appreciate my this suggestion, but if you can do such organization, it will be a great service to the country and to the animals, and to this cause of Krishna Consciousness. If you be serious on this point then I can help you with all of my possible energies.

Hari-śauri: You said you had some plan? For the land here? When we came in, you were saying you had some plan for the land.

Prabhupāda: Plan is that we have got woods. Cut the woods, make small cottages, and engage them for growing fruits, flowers, grains, and make the complete arrangement nicely. Water . . .

Hari-śauri: Irrigation.

Prabhupāda: In this way make it evergreen.

Bhagavān: There was a question about the cows, that at what point should the calf be separated from the mother. Because sometimes when the calf is separated, the mother, she cries.

Prabhupāda: No, no. Why separation? They should be given chance to drink milk.

Bhagavān: But isn’t there a point?

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Bhagavān: There is a point when the calf is taken away from the mother?

Prabhupāda: No, they should not be taken away.

Bhagavān: Shouldn’t be.

Hari-śauri: I think in all our farms they do that.

Bhagavān: I heard in New Vrindavan they took them away very early.

Hari-śauri: The problem is that the calves drink so much milk that they become very sick, so they have to separate.

Prabhupāda: Therefore they should not be allowed always. Once in a day, that’s all.

Hari-śauri: Oh.

Prabhupāda: Not too much allowed, but once. At least when milking they should be allowed to drink little milk, and that will encourage the mother to deliver more milk.

Hari-śauri: Oh. At the same time they’re milking the cow, the calf can come.

Prabhupāda: Yes. They can bring it, milk. And while milking, the calf may be standing before the mother.

Hari-śauri: They do that in India.

Prabhupāda: So she will not be sorry.

Bhagavān: That’s nice.

Prabhupāda: Completely separation is not good. And after birth, at least for one week the calf should be allowed. Because after this giving birth, the milk is not fit for human consumption. The calf should not be allowed to eat more, but at the same time the mother must see once, twice. Then it will be all right. Of course, we are born in big, big towns; we do not know. But I know this is the process. In Allahabad I was keeping cow. There was facility.

Bhagavān: I don’t think our farms are doing like that. In New Vrindavan they do?

Hari-śauri: What, letting the calves come? I don’t think so. You can write a letter to them. The whole system’s so perfect. It’s completely satisfying in every respect.

Prabhupāda: And if you make others dissatisfied for your pleasure, that is sinful. You should act in such a way that nobody is dissatisfied. Then there is balance.

Hari-śauri: Expert management.

  1. Pamho agtacbsp, this donkey society ignore the main point of their suffering which is supporting the slaughterhouse,go mata hai the cow is as good as our mother and is worthy of our worship a such exalted living entity situated in the sattvam guna can award even the mukti liberation from misery,just a evil society sent the cow in the slaughterhouse by sleeping with the dog which is very lusty,anyway this uncivilized citizens deserve to suffer more by realising the cause of their suffering in killing the cows, the sage in naimiseranya forest lose consciousness by hearing from the SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM that in kali yuga they will eat their own mother by killing the cow.its sub human to do that therefore they can’t be called humans anymore but biped animals with two legs, KAMA DENU even muslim use to worship the cow in ancient time, so this killing cows is the cause of a rotten society and by keeping going in this way a society get cursed life after life by suffering worse then the cows because they are very dear to SRI KRSNA go brahmana hitaya ca like a real devotee is dear to SRI KRSNA,this polluted society through slaughterhouse can get free from the curse of slaughterhouse only by worship the cows and the pure devotee like SRILA PRABHUPADA then the cursed society get free otherwise keeping going rotten until become so rotten and lose all the value of living in urdhavam gacchanti sattvam stho in goodness.
