April 29 : Today is the begining of Cow Era: Raghaveshwar Swamiji
 

Ramachandrapur Math, April. 29- Valedictory function of this conference is begining of the final campaign for the protection of cattle breed, Raghaveshwar Bharathi Swamiji asserted.
Addressing the valedictory function of the first world conference and festival on Indian breed cattle here on Sunday he said, valedictory means the begining for another work. You heard about Shalivahana Shakhe, Vikramaditya Shakhe etc. In the Same way this day is the begining of `Gou Shakhe (Cow Era)', he added.
Conference starts on the day of Shankar Jayanhthi and ends on the day of Vedavyasa Jayanthi. We started another campaign from today, that is for cow protection. It is an organisation, that is national Organisation for Cow Protection, he said.

Convention means rain and campaign means river. Water flows only for some times in case of rain, but, in river water flows throughout year, he said. Water evaporates and comes down to earth as rain. Here it is a flowing of faith on cow whitch results in well being, he said.
There may be several conventions for cow in many parts of world. But, it is historical convention in which every thing sacrified to welfare of cow. Even God seems like happy. That is why there was no shower at the Math premises even though lot of showers witnessed within 5-6 square kms limits, he added. Ironically even on Sunday also there was not even a single drops of rain at Math premises even though there was a cloud over the sky.
More than 2 crore bullock-carts saved nearly Rs 60,000 crore of energy for the country, but, we are not congratulating them. Instead, only IT, BT professionals were getting lot of aprreciation, he lamented.

Cows were not asking wealth from us. They want only painless death. There is hue and cry for the human rights, but, there was no concern about the life of cattle and we are all became mute spectators about the rights of cow, he lamented. This conference is not against any one. But for the cow. We have seen two wars one during Ramanayan Era and another during Mahabharat Era. Now Third war would begins for Cow, he said. There was two groups, one backs cow another one is against it. So, it is the time for us to identify ouselves in any one side, he added.
He once again vowed to sacrifice himself for the sake of cow if situation demands.
