From "The Great Transcendental Adventure"...
Devotee: "We would like to know what would please you the most."
Prabhupada's reply was brief and to the point. "Understand Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam, become perfect and distribute this knowledge to your fellow countrymen."
Kurma responds comprehensively to a vegan challenge. This is a challenge for all ISKCON. Something we need to do a lot more work on...
We serve the cows, look after them, and treat them with love and affection until the day they die of natural causes, like we would our mother.
In return they happily give bountifully their excess milk for use by us. With these dairy products we prepare offerings of sacred food for God, and those who prepare these dishes, those who partake of these foods, as well as the cows themselves, are all spiritually elevated.
These ideas are far, far beyond the ken of the materialistc vision, what to speak of mundane dairy industrialists.
Cows are unique amongst all animal species and there is a very sacred and deep bond that spiritual adherents based on traditional Vedic lifestyle can appreciate.

An
example of the efforts we need to go to to protect our friends the cow
(or in this case the
bullock)...
After we had gotten Jaya secured in the geriatric barn, there was a five minute downpour of rain followed by a beautiful rainbow which ended right above the geriatric barn and Jaya. To us this was a very favorable sign and the end of successful journey to the Ohio State Veterinary hospital. We humbly request everyone to pray for Jaya's speedy and full recovery.
An interesting eBay auction pointed out to me by John Sinkowski. Who'd like to bid for it?
