Even in the houses of the cultivators, who were not very advanced in the modern ways of civilization, the ladies used to know how to

chant mantras to give protection to children with the help of cow dung and cow urine. This was a simple and practical way to give the
greatest protection from the greatest dangers. People should know how to do this, for this is a part of Vedic civilization. (Srimad-
Bhagavatam 10.6.22-23 - Purport)

Traditionally in the Indian villages mothers have protected their children by reciting Vedic mantras (especially Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare which is recommended for this age) and bathing their children
with a mixture of water and fresh cow urine. They have used a mixture of powdered, dry cow dung and purified cow dung ash mixed with
powdered neem leaves made into a paste with water, milk and yogurt and smeared on the body of the child. After it dries, the paste is
washed off the skin, which is then moisturized with a mixture of pure cow ghee diluted with coconut oil. Thus the child grows up with radi-
ant healthy skin and protected by the mercy of Lord Krishna and His holy Mahamantra.
The plan for the New Goloka Farm

The New Goloka farm in Auburn will develop into a first class dairy based on principles of cow protection and non-stressful, happy living
conditions for the cows. They will not be exploited for profit as they are in modern dairies. Milk production will be conducted in hygienic
spaces for milking and bottle filling without all the processing as is done in modern dairies.
For example, in a modern dairy the following processing steps are followed:

1-Pasteurization: Milk is forced through hot plates to heat it rapidly to a temperature of 75 degrees C. It is then forced through ice cold
plates to cool it rapidly to 4 degrees C. This can kill off some harmful bacteria but also kills most of the good bacteria and lactase enzymes,
making it indigestible to some people (popularly known as lactose intolerant).
2-Standardization: All of the butterfat (cream) is removed and then a certain percentage is put back, to make either “whole milk”, “semi-
skimmed” or “skimmed”. Any leftover cream (and there’s plenty!) Is used to make other products. You’re being swindled out of good
cream.
3-Homogenisation: Literally meaning ‘to make it homogenous’ or all exactly the same. Milk is shaken so hard, all the delicate fat molecules
are smashed into tiny pieces until they are unable to rise to the top. This is why you never get that lovely line of cream on top of your milk
anymore.

4-Packing: Milk is packed in various forms like a pouch, PET bottles or Tetra packs, before being sent for distribution. There is too much
harmful plastic usage.
5-Distribution: Milk is trucked all over the country, to shops and wholesalers where it is sold on shelves sometimes one to two weeks after
the initial milking.
