Save Europe's Disappearing Cows, Say Campaigners
Click here to read the full article from Sami Grover at TreeHugger
"Those
who would build mega-dairies in Britain may
not believe that cows belong in fields,
but the majority of the public does. Yet while there's been some
success by campaigners fighting specific intensive cattle farms,
there does seem to be a steady creep toward larger, more intensive,
and indoor-only cattle rearing operations in Europe.
The
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)
is about to fight back.
Citing
the statistic that 67% of all cows in Denmark never feel the sun or
chew a blade of grass, the WSPA is launching a new campaign to save
Europe's disappearing cows and
keep them out in the open where they belong."

Simple Living, High Thinking
From Chris Fici at The Huffington Post Green
In the late 1960s, when the acclaimed Vedic scholar/teacher A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada brought the timeless tradition of bhakti-yoga to the Western world, his vision of spiritual renewal for a society caught up in the throes of tremendous upheaval included a bold yet elementary cure.
Coming as he was from the sacred Indian village of Vrindavan, from a culture where sustainability and a respectful relationship with the Earth where inherently coded into the fabric of life, he knew that the massive disconnect in society at large was the effect of being disconnected from our most natural heritage. Borrowing a phrase from Mahatma Gandhi, who had influenced him as a youth, he challenged and inspired some of his first students to imbibe the ideal of "simple living and high thinking."
Swami Prabhupada understood that the complexities of modern life could be a serious impediment to one's spiritual growth. If one could live very simply, off the grid as much as possible, growing one's own food and providing for one's own necessities, and following in the traditional and modest cultural example of bhakti-yoga's heritage in India, then the possibility of enlightenment even amidst the insanity of 20th-century life would be strengthened.
Now, over 40 years later, as life in the 21st century presents its own set of complications, "simple living and high thinking" is more prescient and vital than ever. Many of Swami Prabhupada's students who took up this challenge have struggled and failed yet endured to create the kinds of rural communities and cultural examples that he wanted.
During my time as a monk in the bhakti-yoga tradition, I worked for one year with Terry Sheldon, one of Prabhupada's students, on his organic farm project in the Ohio River Valley near Wheeling, W.Va. His Small Farm Training Center (SFTC) is Terry's offering to the world on how we can practically, theoretically, and spiritually understand our relationship to the planet which gives us our life, breath, and heart.
As Terry explains:
While I was there, this city-slicker suburban Super Mario kid learned how to plant, grow, and harvest a number of different vegetables and fruits, how to drive a 60-year old tractor, how to use mulch and goat poo to fertilize, how to pull weeds out with the right torque so they don't grow back, as well as helping Terry bring some of his work, ideas, and motivations into the digital world, into a blog that eventually became the Yoga of Ecology.
I was drawn to Terry initially because of the stories he told me of his days in the "radical" hotspots of Ann Arbor and Berkeley back in the 1960s. The spirit of his youth has not dulled a bit, due to his deep-rooted spiritual convictions. He wants those who join him to become "paradigm warriors":
Terry's vision, like Swami Prabhupada's, is expansive, dynamic, and rooted in the earth and in the spirit. He advocates eight key tenets of sustainable development, including food independence, vegetarianism, cow protection, and an ecological framework based on the wisdom of the Vedic tradition of India. From the bottom of his heart, Terry wants to change the very soul of our over-burdened and over-stimulated shared cultural mainframe into something which can point us towards the sustainable and eternal.
Terry offers an internship program open to anyone who shares his inspiration and who would like to help him make it spring up from the ground. My own experience working with him has helped me to deepen my own calling in terms of understanding how to bring our spiritual and ecological concerns into working harmony.
Alongside all of this Terry's vision connects to the communities around him in the Ohio River Valley, through the relationships he has cultivated with local soup kitchens, environmental organizations and universities, and urban gardening initiatives in Wheeling.
If you have a "green thumb", if your fingernails are constantly caked in dirt (like Terry's), or if you simply desire to make our ecological footprint more sane, then Terry is a fountain of knowledge to take advantage of. He is one of many "paradigm warriors" helping us to understand the sacred and essential calling we all have to the planet we live on, and to the many sources of life and spirit that surround us everyday.

As Terry explains:
Although I've spent 30 plus years farming and gardening in Appalachia, I don't consider myself a "local." You might say I'm spoiled. My grandfather's farm in Northern Michigan, where I was raised, is both flat and fertile. West Virginia hillside farming is daunting. The soils here -- like the air, the streams and the people themselves -- have been used and abused for 150 years. The "real" locals, those who can trace their heritage back for two or three generations, love Appalachia. That spark of original mountain culture permeates their very being, Unfortunately, their bodies tell a different story. Morbid obesity and diabetes are the norm. That's the price you pay when you no longer grow what you eat and eat what you grow.
Something is out of balance. The Small Farm Training Center is one of many local organizations challenging this dying paradigm. We farm, we garden, we teach, we encourage, we improvise and most importantly we listen to input... We nourish both person and place."

"If you're one of those people who passively accept corporate domination of America's food supply and political life, be forewarned, we don't... They want us to believe that industrial agriculture is the only way to feed the world. That's a lie. They want us to believe that it is cheaper to destroy the earth than to take care if it in real time. That's another lie... We disagree. We choose life and we're going to tell our own story. We're looking for paradigm warriors who can expand the conversation and are fluent in the language of inclusion, kinship and possibility."

The Govardhan Eco-Village
For more click here to check out the Govardhan Eco-Village website
Govardhan Eco-Village illustrates ‘Simple Living & High Thinking’ – a principle which is so succinct, yet profound, and formed the basis of life in the bygone age of wisdom.
Life in the Vedic times was focused on Service, but not on exploitation; this was the cardinal rule of living and the very essence of people’s dealings – with each other and that with Mother Nature. With the concepts of eco-living being innate, the Vedic lifestyle was truly an eco-friendly way of living life as instanced in the timeless Vedic scriptures like Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-Gita. We at Govardhan Eco Village hope to present this model to the world as an alternative way of lifestyle and perhaps a solution to the impending ecological crisis.
Govardhan Eco-Village is a farm community spread over a scenic landscape of 60 acres at Galtare, Wada situated 110 km North of Mumbai, India. Since its inception in the year 2003, Govardhan Eco-Village has made steady progress in organic farming, cow protection, education, rural development, alternative energy, eco friendly constructions and sustainable living.
In the scenario where environmental crisis is on the rise, Govardhan Eco-Village is an example of living in harmony with nature. The purpose behind Govardhan Eco-Village is twofold – one is to present a sustainable living model based on community living and second is to educate people in the field of traditional sciences including Yoga and spirituality.
For demonstrating the principles of Eco-friendly living, Srila Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), stressed on developing farm communities as they present the only sustainable way of leading a life which is physically, mentally, socially, economically, spiritually and environmentally friendly. He said, “The Krishna consciousness movement is therefore establishing various farms to show how to be happy and content with minimum necessities of life and to save time for self-realization, which one can very easily achieve by chanting the maha-mantra—Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.”
Govardhan Eco-Village (GEV) is an ISKCON Chowpatty initiative under the inspiration and guidance of Radhanath Swami, who is the spiritual mentor at ISKCON Chowpatty. Radhanath Swami, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, spent a great number of years in a farm community established by Srila Prabhupada experiencing an eco-friendly lifestyle, serving the cows and leading the life of a monk.
To fulfill the dream of his spiritual master, Radhanath Swami envisioned a farm community in India highlighting the importance of living in harmony with nature, and inspiring his followers to serve the society by setting up a model farm community – Govardhan Eco-Village.

Power Steer
(Editor's note-To vegetarian friends of the Yoga of Ecology, this is a vital piece to absorb. It may not seem so at times, but this is a situation that is only getting worse, and I commend Pollen for bringing the mass industrialization of cattle breeding to light)
But you can go farther still, and follow the fertilizer needed to grow that corn all the way to the oil fields of the Persian Gulf. No. 534 started life as part of a food chain that derived all its energy from the sun; now that corn constitutes such an important link in his food chain, he is the product of an industrial system powered by fossil fuel. (And in turn, defended by the military -- another uncounted cost of ''cheap'' food.) I asked David Pimentel, a Cornell ecologist who specializes in agriculture and energy, if it might be possible to calculate precisely how much oil it will take to grow my steer to slaughter weight. Assuming No. 534 continues to eat 25 pounds of corn a day and reaches a weight of 1,250 pounds, he will have consumed in his lifetime roughly 284 gallons of oil. We have succeeded in industrializing the beef calf, transforming what was once a solar-powered ruminant into the very last thing we need: another fossil-fuel machine.

Vast Tracts in Paraguay Forest Being Replaced by Ranches
At least 1.2 million acres of the Chaco have been deforested in the last two years, according to satellite analyses by Guyra,
an environmental group in Asunción, the capital. Ranchers making way
for their vast herds of cattle have cleared roughly 10 percent of the
Chaco forest in the last five years, Guyra said. That is reflected in
surging beef exports.
“Paraguay already has the sad distinction of being a deforestation
champion,” said José Luis Casaccia, a prosecutor and former environment
minister, referring to the large clearing in recent decades of Atlantic forests in eastern Paraguay for soybean farms; little more than 10 percent of the original forests remain.
“If we continue with this insanity,” Mr. Casaccia said, “nearly all of
the Chaco’s forests could be destroyed within 30 years.”
The rush is already transforming small Mennonite settlements on the
Chaco frontier into boomtowns.
The Mennonites, whose Protestant
Anabaptist faith coalesced in Europe in the 16th century, founded
settlements here in the 1920s. Towns with names like Neuland,
Friedensfeld and Neu-Halbstadt dot the map.
Buoyed by their newfound prosperity, the Mennonite communities here
differ from those in other parts of Latin America, like the settlements
in eastern Bolivia where many Mennonites still drive horse-drawn buggies
and wear traditional clothing.
In Filadelfia, Mennonite teenagers barrel down roads outside town in new
Nissan pickup trucks. Banks advertise loans for cattle traders. Gas
stations sell chewing tobacco and beers like Coors Light. An annual
rodeo lures visitors from across Paraguay.
Patrick Friesen, communications manager for a Mennonite cooperative in
Filadelfia, said property prices had surged fivefold in recent years. “A
plot of land in town costs more than in downtown Asunción,” said Mr.
Friesen, attributing the boom partly to surging global demand for beef.
“Eighty-five percent of our beef is exported, to places including South
Africa, Russia and Gabon,” he said. Citing concerns in some countries
over foot-and-mouth disease, which Paraguay detected in its cattle herd
in 2011, he continued, “We are currently focused on some of the
less-demanding markets.”
Paraguay’s Chaco forest lies in the Gran Chaco plain, spread across
several nations. Scientists fear that the expansion of cattle ranching
could wipe out what is a beguiling frontier for the discovery of new
species. The Chaco is still relatively unexplored. The largest living species of peccary,
piglike mammals, was revealed to science here in the 1970s. In some
areas, biologists have recently glimpsed guanacos, a camelid similar to
the llama.
More alarming, the land rush is also intensifying the upheaval among the
Chaco’s indigenous peoples, who number in the thousands and have been
grappling for decades with forays by foreign missionaries, the rising
clout of the Mennonites and infighting among different tribes.
One group of hunter-gatherers, the Ayoreo, is under particular stress
from the changes. In 2004, 17 Ayoreo speakers, from a subgroup who call
themselves the Totobiegosode, or “people from the place where the
collared peccaries ate our gardens,” made contact with outsiders for the
first time.
In Chaidi, a village near Filadelfia, they described being hounded for
years by bulldozers encroaching on their lands. The Ayoreo word for
bulldozer, “eapajocacade,” means “attackers of the world.”
“They were destroying our forests, generating problems for us,” one Totobiegosode man, Esoi Chiquenoi, who believed he was in his 40s, said through an interpreter. As a result, he and others in his group, who in photographs taken in 2004 were wearing loincloths, abruptly abandoned their way of lif

My Best Friend
A great article from my friend Rasaraj Das at the Govardhan Eco-Village page
In America, many people consider themselves to be “animal lovers”. As a matter of fact, I would even file myself under this category. For example, it is not uncommon for the question to arise among new acquaintances: “Are you more of a ‘cat person’ or a ‘dog person’?” as though one is expected to have an affinity for at least one of the two. One might also be hard pressed to find an individual or a family in the United States who does not keep some type of furred, feathered, scaled, shelled, or otherwise outwardly clad creature as a loyal companion and friend throughout the trials and tribulations of life. Among their caretakers, these pets are generally seen as members of the family, sometimes even taking precedence over children or spouses.
What is interesting is that many of these self-professed “animal lovers” also happen to eat animals. I do not make this statement in a critical or condescending way because I, until a few years ago, was also one of these confused but generally well-meaning people. For one reason or another, they fail to make the connection between the hamburger or steak on their plate and a living, sentient being, certainly no less intelligent or lovable than any dog or cat. When I decided to become a vegetarian in 2009, this connection between meat and its origin became painfully apparent to me, and very quickly I became repulsed at the thought of ever touching meat again.
Recently, when I was fortunate enough to spend a few months at GEV serving in the gosala and helping to take care of the cows, this realization came full circle. As I was petting one of the calves my first week at the farm, this confronting thought hit me like a freight train — what had I done to these peaceful, loving bovines before giving up meat? I will not soon forget the intense emotions that swept over me as a result of this thought, and I almost had to sit down as the nausea and disgust were too much for me to handle. One might compare this to the feeling someone would have after realizing they had just eaten the family pet for dinner.
Perhaps you may be thinking it a bit extreme or unreasonable for me to compare a cow with a domesticated animal. If so, I would humbly request you to spend thirty minutes in close proximity with a cow. Give her a good brushing under the neck and see how she lovingly reciprocates. Observe as she lets her calf enthusiastically nurse from her udders while she licks her baby with an undeniable display of motherly affection. Unless your heart is completely stone cold, you will undoubtedly see that these animals are just as capable of giving and receiving love than any other more traditional household pet.
As the days turned into weeks and months, my attachment and appreciation for these incredibly personable and sweet animals increased significantly. I began to observe how each cow has its own unique temperament and personality distinct from all the rest. Devarishi, a young bull about one year old, quickly became one of my best friends here at GEV and my morning routine of greeting him with a big hug around his trunk as I entered the gosala was one of the highlights of my day. Recently, I think Devarishi might have even hugged me back! I was bending down in front of him to scoop up some manure, and he took a few steps towards me and lifted his bulky head over the back of my neck. We both stood there for a few seconds in this heart-warming, though slightly awkward, embrace.
In just a few days from now, I will be boarding a plane and making my way back home among the crowded, concrete streets of New York City, far away from any farms or cows. I can honestly say that the most difficult part of leaving GEV will be saying my “good-byes” to my four-legged friends in the gosala. Their quite presence in my life has added a great amount of joy and satisfaction to my heart, and I hope that I may one day be fortunate enough to serve these amazing animals once again.

Help Save Krishna Valley Eco-Village in Hungary
Also from our friend Madhava Ghosh at View From a New Vrindaban Ridge
From Krishna Valley in Hungary:
Dear Members (Gosh’s note: and Well Wishers)
Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Please find below the explanation and link to an on-line petition on behalf of the Hungarian yatra. It is self explanatory.
We are planning a protest outside parliament December 13th–cows and all–to hand over this petition.
If you could forward the text below to your temple leaders with a few encouraging words and ask your leaders to send the text out to their data bases with their own few words of support, we could well collect our target of 100,000 plus names. Thank you for your help.
The picture below says to the speaker of parliament: “Sir! Where can we graze here?” (No need to send the picture with the petition. It was for your interest.)
Your servant
Sivarama Swami
Our Petition!
http://www.peticiok.com/krisna
Dear Devotees. The new “Church Law” in Hungary will take away ISKCON Hungary’s church status as of January 1st requiring us to reapply for the same next year.
However the government has not provided any legal stipulation for the society’s continued ownership of Krsna Valley’s lands in the interim period until we are again re-registered.
In short we risk losing Krsna Valley with no pasture for our cows or land to grow our food. I therefore request that you sign the online Petition —link below— and forward this message to as many people as possible, who
would also petition against this injustice.
Thank you.
Sivarama Swami.
