00:00:01,490 --> 00:00:05,227
ANNOUNCER: Next are excerpts
from a morning walk conversation,
2
00:00:05,228 --> 00:00:10,376
with His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda,
3
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:17,035
recorded on August 14th,
1976, in Bombay, India.
4
00:00:17,036 --> 00:00:25,261
PRABHUPĀDA: I’m coming
from London, Paris, and Tehran.
5
00:00:25,262 --> 00:00:32,636
All fields yellow.
6
00:00:32,637 --> 00:00:44,690
And Europe, so much scorching
heat and sunshine, I never seen.
7
00:00:44,691 --> 00:00:48,351
Especially in London.
8
00:00:48,352 --> 00:00:57,086
This time I saw everything
has become yellow.
9
00:00:57,087 --> 00:01:02,015
No, there is scarcity of water also.
10
00:01:02,016 --> 00:01:06,144
They're killing the
animal premature.
11
00:01:06,145 --> 00:01:08,609
They cannot do it.
12
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:12,150
It has come to this point.
13
00:01:12,151 --> 00:01:17,328
In the lower stage of human civilization
when they cannot produce food,
14
00:01:17,329 --> 00:01:22,538
they do not know how to do
it, so the animals are killed.
15
00:01:22,539 --> 00:01:27,988
What can they do?
16
00:01:27,989 --> 00:01:33,391
But actual food is
anna, food grains.
17
00:01:33,392 --> 00:01:37,092
Even for the animals.
18
00:01:37,093 --> 00:01:41,282
annād bhavanti bhūtāni
[Bg 3.14]
19
00:01:41,283 --> 00:01:48,422
And: yajñād bhavati bhū…
So there is no yajña.
20
00:01:48,423 --> 00:01:49,402
There is no yajña.
21
00:01:49,403 --> 00:01:56,027
So this saṅkīrtana-yajña is
the only yajña in Kali-yuga.
22
00:01:56,028 --> 00:02:00,919
So if they perform,
everything is all right.
23
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,647
There will be cloud,
there will be rain.
24
00:02:03,648 --> 00:02:05,239
DR. PATEL: Yajña
karma samudbhava. [?]
25
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,852
Yes.
26
00:02:06,853 --> 00:02:10,199
This is yajña in this…
27
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,832
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ
[SB 11.5.32]
28
00:02:15,833 --> 00:02:21,373
In the Kali-yuga, the other
yajñas are not possible.
29
00:02:21,374 --> 00:02:31,029
First of all, there is no yājñika-brāhmaṇa
and paraphernalia, so many things.
30
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:37,799
Perhaps if we perform
yajña and pour ghee on it,
31
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:45,378
immediately government arrest.
32
00:02:45,379 --> 00:02:47,532
Ghee can be produced immense.
33
00:02:47,533 --> 00:02:49,059
I have studied.
34
00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:53,927
Immensely, you can
by keeping cows.
35
00:02:53,928 --> 00:03:04,913
Kṛṣṇa has recommended, go-rakṣya.
Kṛṣi-go-rakṣya The go-rakṣya is essential.
36
00:03:04,914 --> 00:03:10,078
It is not that animal
slaughter stopping, no.
37
00:03:10,079 --> 00:03:14,227
Kṛṣṇa could have said paśu-rakṣya.
38
00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:16,310
No, Kṛṣṇa has not said.
39
00:03:16,311 --> 00:03:18,527
Go-rakṣya.
40
00:03:18,528 --> 00:03:20,768
Those who are animal eaters,
41
00:03:20,769 --> 00:03:25,763
they can indulge in eating
other insignificant animals.
42
00:03:25,764 --> 00:03:29,852
I think go-rakṣya must be the
backbone of the economy.
43
00:03:29,853 --> 00:03:33,494
No, health, brain, everything.
44
00:03:33,495 --> 00:03:35,957
Milk is miracle food.
45
00:03:35,958 --> 00:03:44,852
And we are practically experiencing
46
00:03:44,853 --> 00:03:55,623
in our farms that if the cows are protected
nicely, they can supply immense milk.
47
00:03:55,624 --> 00:04:05,496
We are getting in
our farms, extra milk.
48
00:04:05,497 --> 00:04:12,415
Everyone is eating so many
preparations, sandeśa, rasagullā, rābrī.
49
00:04:12,416 --> 00:04:14,451
They are surprised.
50
00:04:14,452 --> 00:04:19,256
In their history they have
not eaten all these things.
51
00:04:19,257 --> 00:04:24,491
They are eating the milk-
producing animal so milk will not…
52
00:04:24,492 --> 00:04:28,112
No, they advertise milk is bad.
53
00:04:28,113 --> 00:04:28,980
Who?
54
00:04:28,981 --> 00:04:31,014
These Europeans, Americans.
55
00:04:31,015 --> 00:04:33,250
- Really?
- Yes.
56
00:04:33,251 --> 00:04:37,072
“Don’t eat milk.”
57
00:04:37,073 --> 00:04:46,863
So we see practically in our farm the
cows give more milk than other farms.
58
00:04:46,864 --> 00:04:51,385
- The satisfaction of animal.
- They are very satisfied.
59
00:04:51,386 --> 00:04:54,324
You have been in New
Vrindaban with me?
60
00:04:54,325 --> 00:04:56,597
No, you were not.
61
00:04:56,598 --> 00:05:03,982
So, the cows are so happy
that… Just like in India.
62
00:05:03,983 --> 00:05:06,673
They are walking here and there.
63
00:05:06,674 --> 00:05:09,619
So we have got cows, they are
supplying more than hundred pounds.
64
00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:12,010
INDIAN: This cost is three
thousand rupees, one cow.
65
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:18,015
HARI-ŚAURI: Those cows we have in the
Pennsylvania farm, the two best ones,
66
00:05:18,016 --> 00:05:22,646
they’re the two best pedigree
cows in the whole of America.
67
00:05:22,647 --> 00:05:25,580
They have their pedigree traced
back two hundred and fifty years
68
00:05:25,581 --> 00:05:30,853
to when the first cows
came to America.
69
00:05:30,854 --> 00:05:32,409
Purebreds.
70
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:41,826
Here in our Philadelphia farm we are
selling fifteen hundred dollars extra milk.
71
00:05:41,827 --> 00:05:48,211
Fifteen hundred dollars per month.
72
00:05:48,212 --> 00:05:58,272
So if cow is properly protected,
it can supply immense…
73
00:05:58,273 --> 00:05:58,274
