This is what Srila Prabhupada has given to us, practically. These devotees are gathered around a beloved cow as she prepares to leave her body. I was showing this photo to my friend, Taraka, and he said he has been through this many times. The devotees sit and chant and Srila Prabhupada is playing on a recording. They keep a 24 hour vigil until the cow departs, with Yamuna water, and Tulasi leaves. A fine farewell. This is culture. Real civilization. Not that the cow is simply a commodity and everything is taken from her, all her milk and then when her production lessens they simply put her in the slaughter truck to be murdered. We must all become more serious about seeing that these farm projects where cows are protected are established and maintained. Mother cow (and her milk) and the bull are essential for proper execution of spiritual life.
