The ISKCON Environmental Initiative (IEI) will be hosting an online presentation by Krishna Kshetra Swami, Ph.D. entitled, “Cow Care is Earth Care: Can We Connect the Dots?” on Earth Day, April 22, 2024, 7 am EDT. The offering is part of the IEI Seminar Series: Divinity and the Environment.

The IEI was established to promote Environmental stewardship in ISKCON temples and the community through sustainable environmental practices like the Green Team Vision. It also provides education, training, research, organization, networking, and other resources inspired by Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and example.

“Devotees of Krishna have great regard for cows, with a strong conviction that they should be protected,” said Krishna Kshetra Swami, “But can we see the big picture of how this activity could be an essential component in saving this increasingly ailing planet? And can we see the close-up picture of how we, as devotional communities and individuals, can address this great need?” Krishna Kshetra Swami will draw themes from his book Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics, which is available for free here.

The presentation is free, and no advance registration is required. Zoom Meeting ID is 842 7576 9368, passcode: 378573. See the flyer below for times in your region. To learn more about events and resources provided by the IEI, visit their website or Facebook page.
