Hollly Cow ... !!!
" An enthusiastic Preacher belonging to the Society for the Protection of Cows , came for an interview with Swamiji (SWAMI VIVEKANAND) .. He (the Preacher) was dressed almost like a Sanyasi (Hindu Saint) , if not fully so — with a Gerua (Saffron) Turban on the head , he was evidently an Up-Country Indian .. At the announcement of this Preacher of Cow-Protection , Swamiji came out to the parlour room .. The Preacher saluted Swamiji and presented him with a picture of the Mother-Cow .. Swamiji took that in his hand and handover it to one standing by , commenced the following conversation with the preacher ..Swamiji : What is the object of your society ?
Preacher : We protect the Mother-Cows of our country from the hands of the butcher .. Cow-infirmaries have been founded in some places where the diseased , decrepit Mother-Cows or those bought from the butchers are provided for ..
Swamiji : That is very good indeed .. What is the source of your income ?
Preacher : The work of the society is carried on only by gifts kindly made by great men like you ..
Swamiji : What amount of money have you now laid by ?
Preacher : The Marwari Traders’ community are the special supporters of this work .. They have given a big amount for this good cause ..
Swamiji : A terrible Famine has now broken out in Central India .. The Indian Government has published a Death-roll of Nine Lakhs (Nine Millions) of starved people .. Has your society done anything to render help in this time of Famine ?
Preacher : We do not help during Famine or other distresses .. This society has been established only for the protection of Mother-Cows ..
Swamiji : During a Famine when Lakhs (Millions) of people, your own brothers and sisters , have fallen into the jaws of death , you have not thought it your duty , though having the means , to help them in that terrible calamity with food !
Preacher : No .. This Famine broke out as a Result of men’s Karma , their Sins .. It is a case of ' Like Karma , Like Fruit ' (As You Sow , So Shall You Reap) ..
Hearing the words of the Preacher , sparks of fire , as it were , scintillated in Swamiji’s large eyes , his face became flushed ..
But he suppressed his feeling and said : ........................................... With regard to your cause also , it can be said — the Mother-Cows through their own Karma fall into the hands of the butchers and die , and we need not do anything in the matter ..
The Preacher was a little abashed and said : Yes , what you say is true , but the Shastras say that the Cow is our Mother ..
Swamiji smilingly said : Yes , that the Cow is our Mother , I understand .. Who else could give birth to such accomplished children ?
The Up-Country Preacher did not speak further on the subject , perhaps he could not understand the point of Swamiji’s poignant ridicule .. He told Swamiji that he was begging something of him for the objects of the society ..
Swamiji : I am a Sannyasi, a Fakir .. Where shall I find money enough to help you ? But if ever I get money in my possession , I shall First spend that in the Service of Man .. Man is First to be Saved , he must be given Food , Education , and spirituality .. If any money is left after doing all these , then only something would be given to your society .. "

So ...
The moral of the story !!
If Cow is your Mother , then the Bull is your Father .. And as a result , the Children of the union of " Holy Cow Mother and Bull Father " will be nothing but a bunch of COWardly BULLshi**ers !!
I Dedicate this amusing story , one of the Most Famous Legend about Swami Vivekananda , to all those Legendary Morons of our Country , who campaign to promote their most hilariously ridiculous theory that " Holy Cow is our Mother " ...
