Зrйmad-Bhдgavatam 6.1.21 Honolulu, May 21, 1976

So these are the duties of the brдhmaлa. To give proper education, he himself should be properly educated. That is called brahminical culture. And we offer our respect to Kеслa because He gives the brahminical culture. Namo brahmanya-devдya. Because He is giving the brahminical culture. Without brahminical culture, useless. That is not civilization. Therefore Kеслa is offered obeisance, namo brahmanya-devдya go-brдhmaлa-hitдya ca.

He is first concerned for the cows and the brдhmaлa. Go-brдhmaлa-hitдya ca.

Then jagad-hitдya. Then He's concerned for the whole, other things.

The first concern means cows and brдhmaлa.

Many times He has repeated, go-rakсya.

Why He did not say "pig-rakсya"? No. He said, go-rakсya, because without cows' milk there is no civilization. You will not have nice brain to understand things, simply speculate. We are discussing the philosophy of so many speculators, simply talking nonsense. Simply... Why? This speculator to another, he says, "I think, I..." What you are? You can think? First of all you become brдhmaлa; then you can think properly. Where is your education as brдhmaлa? Where is that brain? Eating all nasty things and you become a brдhmaлa? Therefore Kеслa's is go-brдhmaлa-hitдya ca…

The Vedic civilization, the brдhmaлas, they used to live in the forest, and the king would offer them some cows. So they will draw some milk. And in the forest there are fruits, so they will eat fruits and milk. And if the disciples go to the village, beg some food grain, then sometimes they cook some food grains.

Otherwise the brдhmaлas used to live in the forest, drink milk and take fruit.

That is sufficient. There was no need of jumping here and there…

Anywhere you keep cows.

And what cows to maintain?

No expenditure.

The fruits? The skin thrown away, and the cow will eat. And in exchange it will give you nice foodstuff, milk. Or it will eat in the grazing ground, some grass…

So there is no expenditure of keeping cows, but you get

the best food in the world.

The proof is that the child born simply can live on milk.

That is the proof.

So anyone can live only on milk.

If you have got the opportunity to drink one pound milk maximum, not very much—half-pound is sufficient; suppose one pound—

then you don't require any other foodstuff.

Only this cow's milk will help you. It is so nice.

And it gives very nice brain, not pig's brain. So it is so important thing. Other..., why Kеслa says go-rakсya? He did not say that "pig-rakсya." No. "Dog-rakсya." No. Now they are interested in dog-rakсya instead of cow-rakсya. This is the civilization. They'll spend millions of dollars for dog, not for cow.
