Prabhupada wanted every temple should have farm and goshala around 50 km a way. Srila Prabhupada personaly has started some of this farm like New Vrindavan, etc. We all understand that all disire of pure devotees it will happen because it is non diferent than Krishna disire.
The 12 years of OM Sri Surabhi Campaign is bring us to the higher mood of Srila Prabhupada plan for the above mission. Surabhi Campaign since last year been continues to promote of the Glories of the Cows and traying to incourage the devotee to be more involve in Cow Protection.
Resently by Krishna mercy and Prabhupada mercy we have a chance to visit Hong Kong and conduct some various program related to the Campaign, and few other program. We had four seminars in diferent scedule time, one is about ISKCON four movement and Surabhi Campaign, Best Practice ISKCON where Maharaja introduce about the farm project all around the world, and on the other day we also have peace inter faith dialoge.
One very inspiring program that we visited one local goshala where they have 150 cows, bulls, and calves, the owner is one chinese leady who love cows very much. So we become to relise actualy there is cow protection movement been going on not to far from our temple, same is in Cambodia, Thailand, and many other places, because although those people may not yet be devotees, but due to their natural love that inspire them to protect the cow. As how all living atities naturly is to love Krishna and by daily seeing the Krishna form, name and pastime we will review our pure love to Him. It similar naturaly we will develope love to cow if we live with them and be friend to them.
Both Brahmana and cow are Krishna’s very dear friend. And without them sociaty is in the danger condition. We may seen how nowdays people in general are unhappy. The life is so compicated, people are always in worry, because no guidance of bonafide brahmana, and actualy we can not having brahmana if we dont have cows, thats way prabhupada wanted us to open goshala. Prabhupada said now we need cow, we need milk for the devotees. Maharaja said if we not care cow, how Krishna will care about us. This is known as 50 persen of Prabhupada mission that un phinish yet, and Prabhupada gave his instruction at the end of His Lila in this word about Varnasrama dharma wich mean related to Cow Protection and Farm Comunities.
Whe greatly tanks to this chinese leady although she not join the Hare Krishna Movement yet but she already protecting 150 cows and bull, and in Cambodia there are one person who did similar, also in Thailand and Kalimantan, Indonesia. So this thingwe should learn from them.
