 Definition of Ahimsa milk
 Ahimsa milk is slaughter - free. No
cows or bulls were either killed or
exploited to produce it.

Nonviolence is generally taken to mean
not killing or destroying the body, but
actually nonviolence means not to put
others into distress. [Bg. 13.12, purport]
 Milk as it is
 Generally, milk is said to have the best
properties immediately after taking from
the
cow’s udder.
 This milk, which is slightly warm, is
especially good for bringing down the
increased vAta. Thus it is said that warm
fresh milk is the equivalent of nectar.
 The milk you take is

 Boiled pasteurised,toned milk
 Boiled,pasteurised,standardised milk

Because of all of this we keep cows

 “When we know something is

adulterated we should avoid it………. .It
is for this reason that in vedic culture
the people used to keep a number of
cows without any expenditure ,
and the milk drawn from them was
utilised for for many purposes very,
very useful in life “

Letter to krishna

 Herds maintained for wages

 When a cow herd fed by wages

graze milch cows in hundreds,
for if they graze the herds for
the profit of milk and ghee,
they will starve the calves to
death.
 Kautilya’s Arthashastra :Book 2,chapter XXIX
 Arhta sastra 2 – 29 – 32
 Cows and she buffaloes
should be milked twice
during rainy season and
winter but only once during
summer . If anybody milks
twice then his thumb should
be cut-off.
 
Rig veda 10.87.18 Atharva veda
8.3.16
 Milk derived forcibly from
cows is poisonous and leads
to innumerable incurable
diseases
Forcible milking
 Milking limits per day -
Brhatparasara A. 5-8
 Cow milking should be done
only once in a day in the
morning. If milking is done
twice a day, the cows loose
their health and will not
grow.
 
 Milking is forbidden on special
occasions- Br. Parasara . A. 5 –
16,17
 Milking should not
  be done of
the cows whose calf is dead, or
which is pregnant. Cow should
not be milked for ten days after
her delivery. Also those cows
which are weak or suffer from
diseases or have delivered two
calves at a time should never be
milked.
 
 Rig veda10.87.16,Atharva veda
8.3.15
 Those who fill their belly by
starving people, those who
live by stealing horse feed,
those who forcibly milk cows,
they should be eliminated by
strong actions
 Vishnu Purana
 In Kali yuga,Cows will be honored as long
as she delivers milk
 A symptom of the Age of Kali-
distressed condition of the cow.
 Milking the cow means drawing the
principles of religion in a liquid
form. The cow’s calf not only is beautiful
to look at, but also gives satisfaction to
the cow, and so she delivers as much
milk as possible. But in the Kali-yuga,
the calves are separated from the cows
as early as possible for purposes which
may not be mentioned in these pages
of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
