Recorda quantos desta vida tem passado,

Dawning
“Similarly, when one sees the sunrise one can immediately remember Krsna, for Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (7.8), prabhasmi sasi-suryayoh: “I am the shining of the sun and the moon.” If one has learned how to see Krsna, one can see Him in the sunshine.”

Kow Katha (by Taru)
(From Brijabasi Spirit (1976) Vol III #9)
Sometimes the thought occurs that actually it is the cows who are protecting us instead of vice versa. From a material standpoint, I don’t think any of us would want to go through the trouble of raising cows. It’s not a big money-making enterprise and it involves so much […]
