You can take the cow's milk and use this milk for making so many nutritious, delicious preparations.

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?

≻ World Farm Animals Day - Why not every day?
In this age animals are kept nicely sheltered, completely confident that their masters will protect them, but unfortunately as soon as the animals are fat, they are immediately sent for slaughter. 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.

I was shocked to learn yesterday from a godsister, Jahnavi devi dasi, that India has become the world's 3rd biggest beef exporter.

So simply becoming vegetarian is no great qualification.

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. If we have sufficient grains, fruits, vegetables and herbs, then what is the necessity of running a slaughterhouse and killing poor animals? More ≻ 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 ≻ Happy Cows
In other farms the cows do not deliver as much milk as in our farms; because our cows know very well that we are not going to kill them, they are happy, and they give ample milk. More ≻ Going Local By God's arrangement, anyone in any part of the world can live very peacefully if he has some land and a milk cow. There is no need for man to move from one place to another to earn a livelihood, for one can produce food grains locally and get milk from cows. 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.

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

≻ Farming Priority: grow foods locally for human consumption
They are growing food grains for the animals, and the food grains are eaten by the animals, and the animal is eaten by man. They are producing food grains. More ≻ Food crisis is not the real problem
Actually it is not a question of over population but of equal distribution of food. More ≻ Overhaul the Society
The vaishyas must be engaged in producing foodgrains, but they are not interested. They are interested for opening factories for bolts and nuts and tires... More ≻ Wheat Shortage: Grains Diverted to Feed Livestock
According to the law of necessity, first of all human society must try to produce food grains and vegetables, but if they fail in this, they can indulge in flesh-eating. 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. Because people, if one become hungry, he is disturbed. So give him food first of all. That is Krishna's injunction. Is that very impossible, impractical? No. You grow food more and distribute. So much land is there, but we are not growing food. More ≻ Violence at the Table According to Vedic scriptures, civilization begins with the cultivation of food. Barbarians are those who do not know how to cultivate the land and instead eat animals. More ≻ Prosperity Means Sufficient Food Grains Trade is meant only for transporting surplus produce to places where the produce is scanty. But when traders become too greedy and materialistic they take to large-scale commerce and industry and allure the poor agriculturalist to unsanitary industrial towns with a false hope of earning more money. 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 ≻ Practical Advice on Breeding Cows I
found myself getting upset when I read recent posts about cows in
devotee communities. It's too bad that after all these years the
devotees can't learn from their mistakes with cows. More ≻ Save the Cow! GUEST: There's an
organization of people who are very concerned about people killing
whales and baby seals. HANSADUTTA: But they themselves are killing cows and eating them. 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."
