Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances at Yours and Mataji's lotus feet 🙏🙏🙇🙇.
Dear Gurudeva,
It's really heartbreaking to read about Cow Slaughter for meat. Especially as my grandfather Krishnarao Gaikwad used to tell me that almost 5 generations before him our Surname was different. As I belong to 96 Kuli Kshatriya Maratha Dynasty. And our ancestors have been warriors even in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's army of Maratha Empire. And later generations too served in Police Department and Armed forces. So 5 generations before my
grandfather the noblemen from our family fought and brought back stolen cows by muslims for cow slaughter. So they fought and brought those cows back to Hindus. And that's how people offered us Surname Gaikwad/Gaayakvaad (Gaay means cow and Kawad means shelter of cows). That means shelterers of cows.
But saddest part is that my uncles and others too who belong to same family tree and carrying this surname with proud are not doing justice with the same surname. Though they are not eating beef but Nowadays they are selling cows to butcher once they stopped giving milk. Also male calves immediately sold to butcher.
This is how Adharma is raising and even spreading it's Empire in holy land of Maharashtra too. This land of Maharashtra is known as land of Saints(Devotees of Lord Vitthal). But sadly those who thumping their chest with false proud of being Kshatriyas are no more Gau-Brahman-Pratipalak(Protectors and shelterers of Cows and Brahmanas).
I will not remain silent spectator of all this I will take this cause of Krishna Consciousness for the sake of bringing back lost glory of Kingdom of Lord Vitthal. Gurudeva, please bless me for this cause. As well as please pray for me that Lord Krishna will give me strength and intelligence to carry out this mission of Krishna Consciousness. 🙏🙏.
Hare Krishna 🙏🙏,
Your Aspiring Servant,
(Vivek Gaikwad).
