Milk and Cow Protection!

Verse 1.17.7 (Puja Mataji):

* ...
* In Kaliyuga, animal killing and other things are totally troubling the society. Because of this
- our bodies are becoming wrinkled sooner
- unclean perspiration due to all this bad eating.
* Importance of milk is being lost
- Instead of drinking milk, people are preferring to kill the animal and eat its flesh
- although cholesterol due to meat is almost 6 times higher than milk
* Milk must be taken
- to prolong our life
- improve ourselves spiritually
* Realization
- we should support cow protection, somehow or other
- for the sake of our tongue, we cannot kill other living beings
* Krishna Himself says: Suhrdam sarva bhutanam
* Law of nature: When we kill an animal, we will have to take birth as the same animal and be killed by the animal
* Therefore, to get us rid of these propensities, the only medicine is
- Hare Krishna Maha mantra.
* Science of Self-realization
- is it necessary to follow a certain diet for self-realization?
- SP: Yes, our bodily constitution and spiritual enrichment completely depends on what we eat. You are what you eat. Our process is that we don't eat anything immediately, we first offer to Krishna and then eat Krishna prasad, which will relieve us of all sins
* Vegetarianism has a very deep meaning. It is very clearly given in our scriptures. And above it Prasadam is most important. Finally cow protection also is the essence of this verse.
