On the eve of #ShriRamMandir inauguration in #AyodhyaDham SP Kamrup Rural, Guwahati sends his force who barge into a Gaushala to forcibly take cattle, manhandle a senior lady volunteer, causing her distress & palpitations - all in the absence of @CMOfficeAssam @himantabiswa.

@hpocrsydemocrsy @ShefVaidya @parantapah For each of the 5 days of Diwali... the flashcards have the important mantras and rituals involving the 15 gifts that are part of the kit.

@ShefVaidya @parantapah Interesting, very elaborate too...what are those Pages with sanskrit sholas and probably meanings... Wonder if Lemon too was part of package and why...

Got this lovely Deepawali gift box from Shivali Miglani of gaubless.com. Extremely innovative, beautiful products handcrafted from desi cow dung. Touched by the handwritten note as well! Thanks @parantapah for the connect!

@Nana_Chavan @ShefVaidya @parantapah gaubless.com taking advance orders for Diwali 2024 so they keep occupied all year. Thank you for supporting @Nana_Chavan

@ShefVaidya @parantapah Oh wow. Cow dung, that too desi. Excellent. How does one get this?

@ShefVaidya @parantapah Thank you Ma'am. Glad you liked it and hope you enjoyed your Diwali. - Shivali Miglani

@BreathinHistory @timesofindia When they understand humility that comes with acknowledging that another of God's humble creation like a cow, helps us sustain on the planet not just with her milk but also her dung to #SaveSoil - @timesofindia would appreciate Sanatan Dharma and stop this #Hinduphobia. Shame.

@timesofindia How gau Puja is relevant here. Finally, it was a priest who helped the child. Can you turn down the #hinduphobic post.

While there may be hurdles & there may be mistakes, ISKCON has made that start. And for their work - Thank you #ISKCON. #Cows #MenekaGandhi #VedicEnvironmentalism 12/12

Function of cow is to sustain earth by being at the centre of farming, by recycling grass, sequestering carbon, improving soil health & reversing climate change. Real protection of cows can happen when we overcome our own exploitative tendencies & let cows be with her family.11/n

And this is where ISKCON is playing a crucial role in talking about _Vedic Environmentalism_ - a vision that doesn't end at veganism but instead helps people understand the _real_ function of the cow as taught by the flute-playing cow-loving Krishna. 10/n

But I want to take it a step further - Let's imagine a world where everyone is vegan. What would happen to the bulls & cows? They'd go from being overly exploited to being completely useless. 9/n

If we manage cow grazing lands alongwith farmlands, campaigns on "save soil" wouldn't be needed. If commercial milk stops being the unfortunate reality it is today, the worth of a cow wouldn't depend on its gender. So yes, thanks Mrs. Gandhi when you advocate for Veganism. 8/n

If we Sanatanis strive to usurp all the gauchar lands & leave none for the gauvansh, if we solely look at cows as milk machines, it doesn't take much to guess the value attached to male calves. 7/n

Such hormonal-laden milk leads to innumerable incurable diseases in humans like prostrate cancer in men and ovarian & breast cancer in women but since we're talking of animal abuse, we'll leave the human-karmic consequences aside for this discussion. 6/n #ISKCON #Meneka

ANYONE who uses modern commercial dairy products is actively aiding in - 1) Male calves being sent to slaughter 2) Painful separation of the calves from their mother 3) Forced & abusive impregnaton of ALREADY LACTATING cows just 2-3 months after calving. 5/n #ISKCON #Meneka

All our scriptures including the Bhagwad Gita, emphatically talk about protecting the _entire_ Gauvansh, not just lactating cows. Protection, however, does not merely imply saving cows from slaughter but instead, from a life that is a bigger miserable deplorable continuum. 4/n

ISKCON is a decentralized organization. Wrong doings, if any at all, happen at an individual unit level & must l be looked into. Blaming entire org is unfortunate & discouraging for multitude of ISKCONs like GEV, Belgaum etc that are doing great work for cow preservation. 3/n

Here's why - Mrs. Gandhi & ISKCON are stellar examples of excellence in their respective areas - the former in animal welfare advocacy & the latter in embodying the Sanatan way of Dharmic living. Hence, the question of right & wrong or credibility does not & should not arise. 2/n

Every change begins with a conversation, but it is not often that a conversation brings with it a cathartic moment of gratitude towards the parties involved. This is one such moment - so thank you Mrs. #MenekaGandhi & #ISKCON. 1/n
