(Purport)  The
Lord is the protector of cows and the brahminical (spiritual)
culture. A society devoid of cow protection and brahminical
culture is not under the direct
protection of the Lord, just as the prisoners in the jails are
not under the protection of the king but under the protection
of a severe agent
of the king. Without cow protection and cultivation of the brahminical
qualities in human society, at least for a section of the members
of society, no human civilization can prosper at any length.

Preface by Chrissie Hynde
 Holy Cow explores the often neglected connection between
spirituality and diet, using the accomplishments of the Hare
Krishna movement as a basis for this discussion. Krishna devotees have
long been known
for their other-worldly and extremely tasty vegetarian cuisine
as well as for their pronounced views on animal rights, both stemming
from a philosophy
of compassion for all living entities. Unlocking these aspects
of their philosophy and practice, Holy Cow takes readers into an esoteric
world
of Eastern wisdom and culinary delight.
The growth of the modern-day Hare Krishna Movement
in the 1960s coincided with the growth of vegetarianism as an expression
of nonviolence in a time of objectionable
warfare. That is, "Hare Krishna" and vegetarianism enjoyed a contemporary
as well as historical synchronicity. In fact, Holy Cow makes it clear that devotees
of Krishna in many ways spearheaded the widespread appreciation of vegetarianism
and animal rights in the United States and in Europe as well. Thus, Holy Cow
focuses on the Krishna movement’s pioneering and even visionary efforts
in popularizing non-meat cuisine and the compassionate treatment of animals in
the West—it explains how they did so from the days of their first Sunday
Love Feast (in 1966) and how they continue to do so in the present day.
