For those not familiar with this celebration, it commemorates Lord Krsna lifting Govardhan Hill to protect the cows and residents of Vrindavan.
The same anonymous donor who gave a $20,000 matching gift challenge last year is making the challenge again this year. He was very happy we met his challenge last year.
When someone gives a $1000 to the cows we perform arthik and feed the cows in their honor. This video includes all the rescued calves being fed their bottles and grain a month and a half after they were rescued.
We were invited to attend the Religions for the Earth conference in NYC. Krishna-Kishore (Chris Fici) was our ambassador and was an excellent guide during the conference and helping us attend the various speaking engagements we had in the area. This conference concluded with participation in the Climate March attended by 400,000 people. We held our ISCOWP banner and participated with awe. The conference was attended by some very potent religious leaders who we had the privilege of associating with. Balabhadra gave the latest ISCOWP Newsletter (The Earth Needs the Bull and Cow) to many including Vandana Shiva and Al Gore and was able to speak about the importance of cow protection. The following is a few pictures and video of our activities in NYC.

Starting from the left: Chayadevi, Dr. Jea Sophia Oh, Union Theological Seminary student Krishna Kishore, and Balabhadra holding the ISCOWP banner at the Climate March in NYC. The Banner read "International Society for Cow Protection" at the bottom. Dr.Oh's book, "A Postcolonial Theology of Life: Planetarity East and West," is the first approach to bridge postcolonialism and ecological theology with the use of Asian spirituality as the philosophical underpinning for the argument that all forms of life are sacred and divine. She is working on a book project currently entitled "You Are What You Eat: An Ethics of Food Hybridity."
