Respect for Life (in all of its forms)

Respect for life in all of its manifestations is our motto. Each species tends to see the world in its own way---each a unique contribution. The value is to penetrate deeper into the lifeworld of other species. Hence a qualitative as well as a quantitative agenda to keep diversity alive by keeping as many players in the game as possible. As we discover affection, cuddling and communication with other species we enlarge realm of the human heart. It is natural for human beings to tend toward the preservation of their own species, and often to overlook other creatures' living worlds.

I dedicate this site in tribute to the man responsible for cow protection at New Vrindavan, West Virginia. His work is worthy.

Without protection of cows, brahminical culture cannot be maintained; and without brahminical culture, the aim of life cannot be fulfilled. Srimad Bhagavatam 8.24.५

Not to hurt our humble brethen (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough। We have a higher mission - to be of service to them whenever they require it - If you have men who will exclude any God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. Saint Francis of Assisi (mystic and preacher)

He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man. Isaiah 66.३

As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love. Pythagoras (6th century BC)
