We Should Not Kill Cows

Here's a poem called "We Should Not Kill Cows" that that I finished writing on 12 June 2022:

The cow is our mother
She gives us her milk after first mother no longer can.
So how can we kill her and eat her?
This crime must now totally be banned.

And if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

As you sow, so shall you reap. The meaning’s not cheap.
What goes around surely comes around.
Cruelty begets cruelty. That’s what we’re now doing.
The carnage now profusely abounds.

And if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

We butcher the cow and feast on her meat
ignoring her suffering and pain
wondering why so many mass shootings.
The connection escapes our dull brains.

And if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

And if your compassion I can somehow arouse,
I’ll convince you that we should not kill cows.

(Completed on 12 June 2022)

Do any of you think that I should turn this into a song?

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Who Am I?

Who am I?

Answer: An Eternal Spiritual Being

You are an eternal spiritual being qualitatively one with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna. As He is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, you are also eternal, full of knowledge, and bliss. Therefore you should not cause yourself unnecessary misery by misidentifying yourself with your material body, which is temporary, full of ignorance. In short, know you and be who you are.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
