http://tinyurl.com/7mds3zr So Govinda..., so what is the business of
Govinda? Now, go-dvija-surārti-harāvatāra [SB 1.8.43]. Surārti, go. This demonic world
is the greatest enemy of cows. Just see how they are maintaining hundreds and thousands
of slaughterhouse. Hundreds and thousands of slaughterhouse. Innocent animals, giving
you milk, the most important foodstuff. Even after death, it is giving you its skin for
your shoes, and you are so rascal that you are killing. And you want to be happy in this
world. You see? How sinful they are! They have no consideration that this animal...
Why cow protection is so much advocated? Because it is very, very important. Therefore... There
is no such injunction that "You don't eat the flesh of the tiger." You can eat. Because
those who are meat eaters, those who are meat eaters, they have been recommended to eat
the flesh of goats or other lower animals—sometimes dogs also, they eat, or the hogs—you can
eat. But never the flesh of cows. So, innocent animal, the most important animal, giving
service even after death... While living, giving service, so important service, giving
you milk, even after death she is giving service by supplying the skin, the hoof, the horn.
You utilize in so many ways. But still, the present human society is so ungrateful and
rascal that they are killing cows. So Kṛṣṇa comes to punish them, these rascals. Therefore
it is said that go-dvija-surārti-hara. Kṛṣṇa comes to... Therefore we worship Kṛṣṇa,
namo brahmaṇya-devāya go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca. Brāhmaṇa.
So to make a perfect human society, there must be protection of the go-dvija. Dvija
means brāhmaṇa. Brāhmaṇa means one who knows Brahman, God. These two classes must
be given first protection. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is worshiped with this word,
namo brahmaṇya-devāya go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca
jagad-dhitāya kṛṣṇāya govindāya namo namaḥ
See, the same thing is there. Govindāya, go-dvija arti-hara, dvija. Dvija, when the
brāhmaṇa class, when the cows, they are too much troubled by this rascal, demon, and
Kṛṣṇa comes, yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, abhyutthānam adharmasya
[Bg. 4.7]. These are all adharmas. So in this age, Kali-yuga, the people are
so sinful, so suffering also, therefore Kṛṣṇa has incarnated in the form of His name: Hare
Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma,
Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. That's all. (end)
