Ahimsa: Beyond Milk

Vedic culture shows is that there is a right way to milk a cow. Upon seeing her calf, the mother releases milk as an expression of love and affection. Milk must be taken only when the calf is satisfied. If a cow loves you as her child, she will release milk for you.

Cow contribute everything that is required for agriculture. Their dung, urine, and hooves fertilize and perforate the soil. They give birth to bulls which can be engaged in ploughing, milling, and transportation.

In the cycle of cow products, consumption of dairy is a secondary consideration. Fire sacrifice brings rain, rain nourishes the fields, which feed the cows, cows produce milk which is made into ghee and used in fire sacrifice.
