bhaktachris 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 Hare Krsna Prabhus and Matajis, Obeisances to you all,All Glories to the Nitya Sidhas starting with the most recent, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He started the public chanting of the Maha Mantra in this western world under an elm in Thompkins square park in New York city,"66".His followers and diciples now have continued the preaching there by bringing civilized man's four legged mother,Srimati Cow,to the park.On labor day along with a festival for Srila Prabhupada,a gentle team of cow protectors arrived.They distributed Prasadam made from Cintamani's(the four legged mom preaching there)milk along with some flyers showing a most important sacrifice for the age of Kali.The Goraksya yajna or cow protection sacrifice brought to the west by the Nitya Sidha Sampradaya Acarya,Srila Prabhupada.That duty of Goraksya keeps the follower of Srila Prabhupada who is not always in the strict Brahmana caste in a situation not unlike a temple Pujari.For some of the priciples of proper deity worship such as cleanliness, punctuality, reverence (and much more)must be followed to keep the cow happy and healthy.So just as some may have deities kept in a disheveled state is NOT deity worship.Keeping the cows and oxen in disheveled ways is NOT Goraksya. Many,many people in That big city of N.Y. were attracted to see this Cintamani mother standing under an old tree where this worlds preeminent Guru,A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami came to deliver so many conditioned souls.And those Goraksya followers are fearlessly continuing an important part of that mission without motivation, i bow down to them....... bhakta christopher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
