Dear friends of the cow,
This is my first newsletter about cow protection in Mauritius,destined to become the 1st Krsna-conscious
Country in the world[Srila Prabhupada]
Mauritian girl & Radharani Mata
Pet Show July 2011
As the first concern of Lord Krishna are His cows,we are humbly trying to please Him by making people aware
of the utmost importance of the cow in society,by protecting them
from the horror of the slaughterhouse,and spreading
all informations regarding the role of the cow in a divine
Society,that is getting more and more demoniac,due to the progress of Kali Yuga,where ignorance and quarrels predomine. In the past year,many house programs,organized by Surya Narayan das and Nrsinga Caitanya das,Viraj das,combined with lively harinams,with the company of a cow or ox-drawn chariot,took place,and most people appreciated and gave some donation or puja to the cow. At one of these programs,a muslim lady also joined to offer obeisances to our calf,thus making tremendous spiritual advancement. We were also present at the Ganga-Talao Shivratri festival where most hindus of Mauritius meet to worship Lord
Shiva,and most appreciated our endeavour. The press interviewed Surya Narayan das prabhu,who has a gosala in
La Laura,near St.Pierre,where he keeps about a dozen cows and bulls on a 3 acre plot rented for that purpose. People of all communities appreciated the article,and one Christian lady was
amazed that such a movement existed in our island,where daily violent crimes are reported in the press. We also went to the pet show,organized by the MSPCA[animal welfare]where compassionate Mauritians come to show off their favourite pet,mainly dogs,and there,people of all ages appreciated the sight and gentleness of Radharani,our calf and came to give her a hug,while some promise never to eat flesh again.Some children have never seen a calf before,except in plastic bags at the supermarket! Another thought it was a deer or [cabri],while the
Gopal das with Mahadeva,the ox. preachers were telling them not to eat animals if they claim to be their friends…We also stressed that the best friend of mankind is the cow as she gives us precious milk,that is turned into butter,yogurt,ghi and even her excrements are useful for cleaning utensils in temples and in agriculture. The bull is intensely used in agriculture in Asiatic countries for ploughing land,thus producing rice,wheat etc:he can thus be called father,as he works for our foodstuffs’ production. However these humble creatures are rewarded at the end of their life with a final trip to the slaughterhouse,where all the parts of their body are exploited for food and other items. The unwanted calves are sent at a tender age to be turned into veal, for the pleasure of the tongue,while the mother cows screams and protest.Sometimes they are put into dark caves so that the flesh is whiter.The resulting karma for such demonic activities are natural catastrophes,wars and famine! such people do not deserve to enjoy life,but have to suffer the
same torments they caused by their feeding habits.The animal lovers will surely be rewarded by a nice rebirth in edenic countries,planets or the spiritual world,all devoid of demonic activities. Boy and Radharani Mata

So,gradually people are being aware of the importance
Of the sacred cow and the bull,while others have plans to increase the killings!! Cow lovers vs McDonalds
As Mc Donalds has built a restaurant at 30 meters from the Iskcon temple of Phoenix, the cow lovers were present,with a calf,and with the strength of the Maha Mantra, we managed to send the matter in court,who ordered the famous cow killing
Company to serve only chicken,while the case is being held. Of course,we would like that it serves only veg food,but we had to agree to the temporary decision of the judge.We are grateful to the Kranti movement,and its leader, Mr. Ajit Gopal,who led the protest movement,together with the Sanatan Dharma Federation movement,led Mr. []by all united for the cause. Two days ago,the government started to invite for bids
To construct the Rs.180 million slaughterhouse on the island
Of Rodrigues,where water is cruelly rare:there are practically no rivers there,and in some areas,water is rationed twice a month! We can imagine how a water greedy slaughterhouse
will affect the flow of the precious liquid…We wonder how
the hindu majority government,now split,managed to
grant the permit for the construction of such demonic
project,while in India,most States prohibit cow slaughter,and even some muslim communities recognize the importance of the cow and bull in society,even more that the urine of the cow is now more and more used for medicinal purposes.People are also claiming for organic vegetables and fruits and dairy products without dangerous pesticides and fertilizers. The millions of rupees could be used for dairy projects, that protect the animals till death[Ahimsa farms] as even dry cows produce urine and dung,important for compost making and medicines. Other projects could be honey farms,organic
Agriculture,that protects Mother Earth from the deadly violence of pesticides:the result is desertification of the land!Just see how many parts of the world are being turned into deserts:North Africa,Kenya,Uganda,Brazil…etc..All populations and animal suffer and die rapidly…..The meat industry is the main cause of global warming:rain forests are being destroyed
In order to plant corn and soybeans for feeding cattle/chickens…
So,in the near future we will protest against such project,as its
realization will mean horrible karma for all of us[maybe severe
droughts or cyclones!] So,if you don’t wish this to happen,join us to protest against the project.You can also write directly to the Prime Minister,Mr.Navin Ramgoolam. Address: Government House,
Port-Louis-Mauritius
