al advancement. This should be the motto of New Vrindaban, if
you at all develop it to the perfectional stage. And I am always at
your service to help you by practical suggestion and assistance
also.

On the other hand I was thinking that if I get permanent visa in
Montreal, I shall make Montreal my headquarters and at that time I
may require your help in so many ways. As we passed
correspondence previously, that we should live together either in
India or in this part of the world for publication of so many
Vaisnava literatures. But if you want to develop New Vrindaban, I
can spare you for that purpose, and it may be that we can live
there together.

For the time being, if you actually want to develop such ideal
asrama, we must have sufficient land, and all other things will
gradually grow. For raising crops from the land, how many men
will be required--that we must estimate and for herding the cows
and feeding them. We must have sufficient pasturing ground to
feed the animals all round. We have to maintain the animals
throughout their life. We must not make any program for selling
them to the slaughterhouses. That is the way of cow
protection.

Krishna by His practical example taught us to give all
protection to the cows and that should be the main business of
New Vrindaban. Vrindaban is also known as Gokula. Go means
cows, and kula means congregation. Therefore the special feature
of New Vrindaban will be cow protection, and by doing so, we shall
not be loser.

In India of course, a cow is protected and the cowherds men they
derive sufficient profit by such protection. Cow dung is used as
fuel. Cow dung dried in the sunshine kept in stock for utilizing
them as fuel in the villages. They get wheat and other cereals pro-
duced from the field.

There is milk and vegetables and the fuel is cow dung, and thus,
they are self-independent in every village. There are hand weav-
ers for the cloth. And the country oil-mill (consisting of a bull walk-
ing in circle round two big grinding stones, attached with yoke)
grinds the oil seeds into oil.
