Roughly 3,000 silkworms are boiled/gassed alive to make a single pound of silk. That means that billions, if not trillions, of them are violently killed for their silk every year. Silkworms have central nervous systems and brains, just like us. Silkworms are all individuals who value their lives and want to avoid pain and torment. Boycott violence against animals. Boycott animal exploitation.... Be Vegan ka

Throughout their short life of exploitation, they will be forcefully impregnated 3-6 times, their babies will be stolen 3-6 times, and they will be used as milk machines for humans. After 3-6 forced pregnancies, they are broken, and they are no longer considered profitableThey will be stabbed in the throat, violently killed, cut into pieces and sold to be consumed as meat Do you believe your pleasure, taste, culture, traditions, or spiritual practices are more valuabl...e than an animals life? Do you think animals are objects? property? commodities? products? things? Like a table, or a pair of shoes? Do you think unnecessary violence is wrong? Do your actions align with what you think? If you can live without exploiting animals, why wouldn’t you live vegan? www.howdoigovegan.com www.vegankit.com krsna

At Toronto Cow Save vigils, we regularly witness trucks filled with mother cows brought in from local 'Livestock' auctions. These are sentient beings that farmers have discarded for a variety of reasons, but the main one being that they no longer have monetary value to the farmer. This poor girl, who was drooling and crying out in pain, is just one example of the animals you'd witness at an auction, taken near Toronto. We learned that she, and the other mothers with her, were sent directly to slaughter. She was a mother. She was someone. Her milk is not ours. Louise Jorgensen Animal Save Movement

Nobody has been benefited in this world by this Maya [illusion]. People weep in the end. The fly runs towards the fire or lamp thinking that it is a flower and gets burnt up. Even so, the passionate man runs towards a false beautiful form thinking that he can get there the real happiness and gets himself burnt up in the fire of lust. Just as the silkworm entangles itself in its self-woven cocoon, so also, you have entangled yourself in the meshes of your own desires. Tear ...the meshes by the knife of dispassion and soar high in the realm of eternal peace on the wings of devotion and knowledge. Swami Sivananda

Love of God is dormant in everyone, and if one is given a chance to hear about the Lord, certainly that love develops. - ka prema

What the Upaniads describe as the impersonal Brahman is but the effulgence of His body, and the Lord known as the Supersoul is but His localized plenary portion. Lord Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Ka Himself, full with six opulences. He is the Absolute Truth, and no other truth is greater than or equal to Him. - I offer my respectful obeisances unto the spiritual masters, the devotees of the Lord, the Lord’s incarnations, His plenary portions, His ene...rgies and the primeval Lord Himself, r Ka Caitanya.- - I offer my respectful obeisances unto r Ka Caitanya and Lord Nitynanda, who are like the sun and moon. They have arisen simultaneously on the horizon of Gaua to dissipate the darkness of ignorance and thus wonderfully bestow benediction upon all.- - -r Caitanya-caritmta di-ll 1.1-4 - Thank you for the inspiration: @naradi_dd - - - ka prema See more

The actions and reactions of all works in the material modes of nature, either in the minute form or in the gigantic form, are accumulated, and thus the result of such accumulated actions and reactions of karma, or work, become manifested in the same proportion. How such actions and reactions take place, what the different procedures are, and in what proportion they act are all subject matters of Mahrja Parkit's inquiries from the great brhmaa ukadeva Gosvm. Life ...in the higher planets, known as the abodes of the denizens of heaven, is obtained not by the strength of spacecraft (as is now being contemplated by the inexperienced scientists), but by works done in the mode of goodness. Even on the very planet where we are now living, there are restrictions upon the entrance of foreigners into a country where the citizens are more prosperous. For example, the American government has many restrictions for the entrance of foreigners from less prosperous countries. The reason is that the Americans do not wish to share their prosperity with any foreigner who has not qualified himself as a citizen of America. Similarly, the same mentality is prevailing in every other planet where there are more intelligent living beings residing. The higher planetary living conditions are all in the mode of goodness, and anyone desiring to enter the higher planets like the moon, sun and Venus must qualify thoroughly by activity in complete goodness. Mahrja Parkit's inquiries are on the basis of proportionate actions of goodness which qualify one in this planet to be promoted to the highest regions of the universe. Even on this planet of our present residence, one cannot achieve a good position within the social order without being qualified with proportionate good work. One cannot forcibly sit on the chair of a high-court judge without being qualified for the post. Similarly, one cannot enter into the higher planetary systems without being qualified by good works in this life. Persons addicted to the habits of passion and ignorance have no chance of entering the higher planetary systems simply by an electronic mechanism.

As far as cow-killing is concerned, it is completely forbidden. Since the cow is considered a mother, how could the Vedas allow cow-killing? r Caitanya Mahprabhu pointed out that the Kazi's statement was faulty. In the Bhagavad-gt (18.44) there is a clear injunction that cows should be protected: ki-gorakya-vijya vaiya-karma svabhva-jam. "The duty of vaiyas is to produce agricultural products, trade and give protection to cows." Therefore it is a false statemen...t that the Vedic scriptures contain injunctions permitting cow-killing. - A Vaisnava, or a devotee of Lord Narayana, sees every living entity as part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. Therefore, a Vaisnava's treatment of other living entities is on the absolute platform. - This finger is part and parcel of my body. If you respect my body and kill my, cut my finger, shall I be happy? No. Therefore Vaisnava knows this, that "Even a small ant, he is the part and parcel of Krsna. So if I kill this ant, Krsna will be unhappy" - A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, ki, jai Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, ki, jai See more
