Holy Cow: The Hare Krishna Contribution to Vegetarianism and Animal Rights by Steven Rosen

Holy Cow by Steven Rosen examines the Hare Krishna movement’s contribution to vegetarianism and animal rights. It traces connections between Vedic ideas, Vaishnava practice and modern initiatives such as vegetarian restaurants and food relief.

Published by Lantern Books, the study discusses nonviolence, sacred food and the ethical treatment of animals, and also includes recipes. Its focus is religious history and ethics rather than a personalized nutrition or medical plan.
