Whenever visitors come to Bhaktivedanta Manor, one of the main attractions for them is the Goshala, or cow sanctuary. Seeing, feeding and showering affection on the cows brings them a lot of joy. However, cows are not just a tourist attraction \u2013 they play a vital role in the Bhaktivedanta Manor community, and also in human society in general.<\/p>\n
According to Vedic civilisation, the cow is a sacred mother figure, and protecting cows from exploitation is thus one of the primary duties of society. With the current rise of veganism and increased awareness of the mistreatment of animals, cow protection has never been more relevant.<\/p>\n
By taking this course with the School of Bhakti, you will develop a much better<\/p>\n
understanding of cow protection within the context of Srila Prabhupada\u2019s teachings.<\/p>\n
Students will explore a variety of topics in the 5 sessions, including:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Why is the cow seen as a mother?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Why is so much importance placed on this animal? Why is she seen as sacred?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Bulls are also highly respected and honoured. What is their purpose and role in all of this?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 What does Ahimsa really mean?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 How does ecology and climate change relate to cow protection?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 What is Dharma, and how does it link to cow protection?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Why do the spiritualists advocate \u201csimple living, high thinking\u201d?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Why is milk so important? What are the current ethical issues surrounding commercial milk?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 What qualities can we learn from the characteristics and behaviour of cows?<\/p>\n
