Dr. Harrap: We've had very close connections with India in the dairy research laboratory in that Dr. Chulak one of our . . . yes, you know him? One of our senior staff members some years ago spent several months in India developing methods of making cheese from buffaloes' milk.
Prabhupāda: No, India's position is different now. India has practically no milk, and no food. Due to our leaders' mismanagement, there is no milk. India is depending on your milk powder sent by Australia or by Europe. There is no milk. But milk is very important because Kṛṣṇa says that kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.44). (aside) Find out that verse. You do not have that Kṛṣṇa book?
Cāru:
- kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ
- vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam
- paricaryātmakaṁ karma
- śūdrasyāpi svabhāva-jam
- (BG 18.44)
Translation: "Farming, cattle-raising and business are the qualities of work for the vaiśyas, and for the śūdras there is labour and service to others . . ."
Prabhupāda: So Kṛṣṇa . . . we are following the leadership of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa was so fond of cows, cows' milk, cows' butter, that He was stealing cows' butter. Yes. Find out that picture.

Guest (2): I see, rather than the quantity.
Dr. Harrap: Well,
Prabhupāda: No.
Dr. Harrap: you should . . . the advice is that you keep your general level of fats down, but of the fats that you take, then you should increase the ratio between the polyunsaturated and saturated. But there is quite a development of milk industry in parts of India. The complex near Annakadana, I think, is a very good example of this, isn't it, of the, I believe, the cooperative dairy complex.
