Protecting Cows in the Land of Dharma Let the cow be protected. You can take the cow's milk and use this milk for making so many nutritious, delicious preparations. Aside from that, as far as meat-eating is concerned, every cow will die—so you just wait a while, and there will be so many dead cows. Then you can take all the dead cows and eat. More
Feeding the sadhus Kitri is a sadhu's meal, because it's a combination of rice and dal and vegetables all cooked in one pot. The sadhus, the holy men in India, since they have no home, are generally wandering, living a very simple life, and they don't want to be bothered with cooking every day... More
Whose Nature? When devotees cook, we cook with the idea that we are going to accept Krishna's nature — the fruits, the vegetables, milk, the grains. Everything we accept, we take the ingredients and prepare them in a special way and offer them to Krishna... More

Forecast: Global Food shortage in 2010 Farmers are producing, and you are eating, but you are not producing. Therefore gradually your food will be shortage. You are depending on others. The farmers, they do not produce food for human being. They produce food for the cows. More
The Daily Kill What is the news value of a story of traditional ritual animal sacrifice in distant Nepal? "Sacrifice of 250,000 animals" grabs our attention momentarily, but it is scarcely noteworthy in comparision to the number of animals slaughtered day to day for tables around the world. Let's put things into perspective. More

Why Commercial Dairies Can't Stop Killing There's a difference between market-oriented production and a subsistence production that markets the surplus. More
Culling the Cows And other countries, they are starving for want of milk. Therefore I say the United Nation simply barking dogs. More
Food converted to greed Human civilizations should depend on the production of material nature without artificially attempting economic development to turn the world into a chaos of artificial greed and power... More
Vegan is not Prabhupada's teaching To adopt veganism is to adopt vegetarianism under a more atheistic philosophy - but masked by a purported "concern" for the suffering of the animals in the present system. It denies the purpose of the Lord behind HIS creation of the cow and bull in the first place. More
Enough land for food production If people produce food grain in all the lands available all over the world, they can feed ten times population than it is at present. Krishna has made such arrangement. More
No Such Thing as Too Much Milk There is no question of waste of milk at any stage. One must know how to do it. So you can keep as many cows as possible and collect as much milk from them. You can utilize. More
Making cows happy is good for the planet If you keep the cows happy, then cow will supply large quantity of milk. If the cow knows that you are going to kill it, she is always afraid, always fearful: "Oh, this man will kill." More
Killing Foods Although there are immense potencies within the earth for the production of grains, fruits and flowers, this production is checked by the earth itself when it is misused by nondevotees, who have no spiritual goals. More
Shame on Hindus, Shame on India Cows are sacred no more in India. I was shocked to learn yesterday from a godsister, Jahnavi devi dasi, that India has become the world's 3rd biggest beef exporter. More
The Price of Pork The laws of prakriti (nature) are very stringent. No one should think that he has the freedom to kill animals and not suffer the consequences. One cannot be safe by doing this. More

Do your part for the Green Movement: Say NO to beef The more we attempt to exploit material nature according to our whims of enjoyment, the more we shall become entrapped by the reaction of such exploitative attempts.

World Food Production Set for Catastrophe In these days of drought, people can gain relief from scarcity of rain and food by the simple method of the Hare Krishna yajña. More

Plain Living, High Thinking Live in open place, produce your food grains, produce your milk, save time, chant Hare Krishna. Plain living, high thinking, ideal life. Artificial necessities of life do increase your so-called comforts, but if you forget your real business, that is suicidal. More
Economic Models and Cows If you have cows and if you have got land, then you till the land, get grains, and there is milk, there is fruit, there is flower. Anywhere, you can live peacefully. Whole economic question is solved. More
Instead of protecting the meat industry, promote cow protection In rare circumstances, when people are suffering for want of grains, meat-eating or flesh-eating can be allowed, but not otherwise. The maintenance of slaughterhouses for the satisfaction of the tongue and the killing of animals unnecessarily should never be sanctioned by a government. More
Produce food grains, not beef Instead of cutting the throat of the cows, you can grow your food. Why you are cutting the throat of the cows? After all, you have to get from the land. So as they are—the animals which you are eating—they are getting their eatables from the land, why don't you get your eatables from the land? More
Cows' milk: essential food and socio-economic component Anyone can live only on milk. If you have got the opportunity to drink one pound milk maximum, not very much—half-pound is sufficient; suppose one pound—then you don't require any other foodstuff. Only this cow's milk will help you. It is so nice. And it gives very nice brain... More
Indian Government Official: "Let them eat rats" People are now addicted to eating animals, in spite of having an ample supply of grains, fruits and milk. More
Beef and the degradation of the human race Beef is forbidden in the scriptures, and the bulls and cows are offered special protection by followers of the Vedas. But in this age of Kali, people will exploit the body of the bull and the cow as they like, and thus they will invite sufferings of various types. More
Back to the Land Our farm projects are an extremely important part of our movement. We must become self-sufficient by growing our own grains and producing our own milk, then there will be no question of poverty More
How much food do you need? Material facilities, I think you American boys and girls, you have got material facilities better than any other nation. At least better than India, that I can say by my experience. And I have traveled in so many countries, in Japan also I have seen, but still you are better positioned. More

Food Prices Soaring Human civilizations should depend on the production of material nature without artificially attempting economic development to turn the world into a chaos of artificial greed and power only for the purpose of artificial luxuries and sense gratification. This is but the life of dogs and hogs. More
Killing Them Softly? They are completely in the mode of darkness, just like the animals they slaughter. There may be many animals in a pasture, and if one takes an animal aside and cuts its throat, the other animals will simply stand, look, and continue eating grass. They do not realize that the next time they may be slaughtered. The people in Kali-yuga are in the same situation... More
Artificial Dependence on Imports You must have sufficient food grain to feed the human being and the animal, and everything will be peaceful immediately.

So much land is there, but we are not growing food. More

More
Land of Plenty That is our mission that you produce food grains sufficiently and give protection to the cows so that food grains and milk will give you all benefits of economic question. More
Back to the Fields After all, you will eat some bread and some fruit or some flower. Why you have invented so big, big factories? More
Outcry Over Boatload of Animals So you can eat dogs, hogs, so many other animals. But don't touch the cows. This is God's instruction. More
Biodiesel and Blood When animals are killed in a slaughterhouse, six people connected with the killing are responsible for the murder. More

Self-sufficiency closer to the ideal civilization Whatever he's grown he takes in a basket, goes to the market, immediately sold. And they're all fresh. Collected in the morning, and it is sold by eight o'clock. All fresh vegetables. There was no export, there was no facility of transport. These rascals introduced transport. Big scale transport, this railway. More
Man-made Food Shortage Unless the human society comes to the standard of executing Varnashrama-dharma, it is not human society; it is animal society, no regulative principles. More
Blessed Art Thou Without Soul?
May, may I ask you one question? Jesus says: "Thou shalt not kill." So why Christian people are killing? More
If we all did it... In the act of killing an animal, there is a regular conspiracy by the party of sinners, and all of them are liable to be punished as murderers exactly like a party of conspirators who kill a human being combinedly. More
Cows and Karma We don't want to stop trade or the production of grains and vegetables and fruit. But we want to stop these killing houses. It is very, very sinful. That is why all over the world they have so many wars. Every 10 or 15 years there is a big war—a wholesale slaughterhouse for humankind. But these rascals—they do not see it, that by the law of karma, every action must have its reaction. More
Nonviolence and Weisswurst on the Same Tongue But if we take the words he quoted from the Byzantine emperor— "I quote, 'Show me just what Muhamad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'" and substitute the name Muhamad with that of Pope Urban II, we have the history of the Crusades. More
Meat Eating, Animal Protection and Good Friday Guest: I don't think God intended us to take "Thou shalt not kill" so literally. Hansadutta: What is the use of Jesus talking, if you are going to interpret everything he says? He must be intelligent enough to say what he means. Why should you assume that he did not mean what he said? More
Kill and Be Killed Even the heads of religions indulge in killing animals while trying to pass as saintly persons. This mockery and hypocrisy in human society bring about unlimited calamities; therefore occasionally there are great wars. Masses of such people go out onto battlefields and kill themselves. Presently they have discovered the atomic bomb, which is simply waiting to be used for wholesale destruction. More
Nuclear Reaction - Collective Karma The general idea of the public is that it is the political leaders who are the cause of nuclear armament, nuclear arms race, stockpiles of nuclear weapons, of which statistics tell us there are at least fifty thousand. More
Food for Life "Of what use are all your sacrifices to Me? I have had enough of the roasted carcasses of rams and of the fat of fattened beasts. I take no pleasure in the blood of calves, lambs and goats . . . When you spread out your hands, I close My eyes to you; despite however much you pray, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood! Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before My eyes and stop doing evil." (Isaiah 1:11, 1:15-16) More
