"Human society without brahminical culture is animal society. We
offer our obeisances to the Lord, namo brahmanya devaya go
Brahmana hitaya ca. Krishna is first of all interested to see wheth-
er in the society the Brahmana and the cow is properly respected.
Namo brahmanya devaya go Brahmana hitaya ca. His first
business to see that the Brahmana and cow is being properly
honored. Then jagat dhitaya. Then automatically the whole world
will be peaceful. This secret of success they do not know. Nobody
is prepared to become Brahmana, and so far cow protection is
concerned, it is in the oblivion. This is the whole world position.
Therefore, it is a chaotic condition. It must be, because this is ani-
mal society. When these two things are neglected, it is animal so-
ciety, and then other animal qualities and paraphernalia fol-
low.” (Srila Prabhupada lecture, SB 5.5.10 Vrindabana, November

Making topsoil can eventually free one from using farm
equipment and chemical fertilizers and pesticides

It is possible to produce topsoil that is teeming with live bacteria
and organic nutrients that provide a powerful resource for the
growth of organic vegetable and grains. Gradually with advanced
techniques for production of live topsoil the need to plow, and roto-
till becomes unnecessary as will the use of industrial fertilizers and
pesticides. Every year new topsoil will replenish the land. When
the land is not used or left fallow, covering it with black plastic or
mulch will inhibit the growth of weeds. Eventually weeds will be
overcome by the intensive planting of crops and on alternate years
leaving parts of the land fallow and covered with the black tarp so
that the sun bakes the seeds of weeds during the hot summer
season. New topsoil every year will eliminate the need to plow and
rototill. Both of these actions with machines disturbs the natural
bacteria and other beneficial nutrients and worms in the earth due
to exposure to the sun.

The key to making live topsoil is cow dung especially from pure
bred Indian cows like the Gyr bred. The Indian cows have a hump
that is a miraculous appendage that permits the cow to capture the
energy of the sun and concentrate it in the urine, stool and milk
very similar to photosynthesis in plants. The dung of Gyr cows at-
tracts the taste buds of different types of earthworms. There are
