Essence: “A civilized society puts a lot of time and effort for the education of its children. Krsna consciousness is the king of all education and to receive it we have to seek shelter of the lotus feet of great souls like Prahlada Maharaja who enlighten us and teach us how to awaken our love for God.”

Holy cow

Verse: Srimad Bhagavad Gita – 4.11
Where: Gita Nagari, Pennsylvania, USA, April 25, 2008
Essence: Srila Viswanatha Cakravarti Thakura says “The cows are like cintamani jewels that can fulfill any desire. Their mooing is like beautiful poetry. Their happy calves are like the pleasant summer. They always raise their ears to hear Krsna’s flute. As they wander the earth, they resemble the bubbles of the milk ocean, the chuckles of Lord Siva and the infant children of the moonlight.” These cows are very dear to the Lord, and if we want to please Him, we must take care of them and protect them.
