Go Hatya
Prabhupada: If you follow Bhagavad-gita, then everything will be followed very nicely. Just like in the Bhagavad-gita it is said, krsi-go-raksya-vanijyam [Bg. 18.44]. And go-raksya, this is recommended in the Bhagavad-gita. So if you follow Bhagavad-gita, then naturally go-raksya will be there. And if you read Bhagavad-gita for some political reason, then slaughterhouse go on. That's all. Instead of go-raksya, go-killing. This is going on. Every politician is reading Bhagavad-gita, but go-raksya... Instead of go-raksya, go-hatya. This is going on, no go-raksya but go-hatya. This is going on. Who cares for Krsna? This is the misfortune of India. Krsna spoke in India, in Kuruksetra. Krsna appeared in India, but Indian people are neglecting. Therefore I say it is a misfortune. It is your own thing. You are neglecting it.
