Prabhupada, August 14, 1976, Bombay: […] Right. Some tons of things. The ass does not know why he is carrying so much load. Therefore mudha. What for he is carrying? What is his profit? He does not know. But he’s carrying so much. “I am big industrialist. I have got so much business.” What for you are doing industry? That he does not know. Ass. Karmis are described as asses. They do not know what is the interest. Full conversation
“Donkey’s Wild Ass Ancestor Confirmed”
By Wynne Parry, LiveScience Senior Writer
Five thousand years ago, in North Africa, humans formed an alliance with the wild ancestors of the donkey, twice.
This was no insignificant feat; domestication of the donkey’s ancestors helped these ancient cattle herders become more mobile and adapt as the Sahara Desert expanded. Donkeys also expanded over-land trade and contributed to the growth in the early Egypt state.
New research answers, and raises, questions about who these wild animals were and how humans brought them into the fold.
Donkey family tree:
Modern donkeys can be divided into two, genetically distinct groups, leading scientists to believe that they have two ancestors, which were believed to be the Somali wild ass and the Nubian wild ass, both subspecies of the African wild ass.
In new research, scientists analyzed mitochondrial DNA, or that contained in the energy-producing centers of cells, taken from archeological sites, museum collections and live animals.
Their results showed that the Somali wild ass, or a close relative of this subspecies, was not one of the two ancestors. It is possible this unknown ancestor came from an extinct population of wild ass or from another region, the researchers suggest.
The more telling finding came when researchers confirmed that the Nubian wild ass was indeed the ancestor of one of the donkey groups. As part of their genetic analysis, the team found evidence that humans domesticated Nubian wild asses multiple times, and that all the while, these future donkeys continued interbreeding with their wild relatives.
The findings also suggest donkey domestication took place in Africa, far from the Fertile Crescent, where most animals were once believed to be domesticated.
“That is why our paper is so important. It shows not only did domestication happen in Africa, it wasn’t a one-off thing, it happened over a period of time,” said study researcher Connie J. Mulligan, a molecular anthropologist at the University of Florida. “There was local knowledge about how to do this.”
Modern relatives
Small numbers of the Somali subspecies live in zoos and wildlife preserves, and about 600 still live in the wild in Eritrea and Ethiopia.
However, the Nubian wild ass was last seen in the Red Sea Hills of Sudan in the late 20th century, and may recently have become extinct. One of the study researchers, Albano Beja-Pereira, a biologist at the University of Porto, Portugal, found evidence of its continued existence in the mid-1990s.
Genetic research done as part of this study confirmed that the samples he collected did indeed come from the Nubian wild ass, according to Mulligan.
The findings were reported in the June issue of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
pamho agtACBSP,
thank you for posting this article by our eternal jagat guru,this is a short comment about all the history of a donkey dynasty born by getting wages in f-iskcon and some of them keeps dogs in doors by initiating the dogs in Brahmana diksa because the avidya ignorance of a dog is connected to the lust desire kama of a dog then the karmabhir the nature law make all these avidya kama karmabhir in the form of dogs and donkey to dance within all their stupidity even worse then a real donkey, other stupid biped are asking to these so called humans why are you behaving worse then a animal? se pasu boro duracar and they answer we got so much nectar here why are you wasting your time in iskcon come to f-iskcon we give you everything danam janam sundarim etc… in this way the a-aparampara dynasty of the big donkey is increasing through the small donkey who are worshiping the big donkey to get more stools from their avidya kama karmabhir,
we already born in the horrible age of kali yuga the age of the asses through the stupid guru hoaxers and all their small donkey followers in the guise of devotees then to see all these mudhas to become more mudha increase in the real devotees the desire to become a vaikunta man by don’t care about all the fools who are over populate this planet by giving birth to more fools in this way all the mudha get the planet earth destination to finish their training as donkey and when they leave their miserable bodies jails they will get the proper donkey form because they are dwelling in the wrong body jail at the present time,some of these asses already departed but all others asses don’t care by keeping going with their donkey mentality, many ignorant people treat all these donkey nicely and they get angry because one must use the stick with the donkey to beat him up by never treat a donkey nicely by getting the contrary result,
we should take example by a vaikunta man like SRILA PRABHUPADA HE didn’t care about all the super stupids godbrothers like barking dogs who were too busy to attack SP by forgetting their business in the way back home because everyone get different destination at the end of this rotten and troublesome journey in this disgusting and stink material world.only SRILA PRABHUPADA got the vaikunta planets this means to be a resident of the spiritual sky by don’t care to the temporay gossip of the less intellingent people who are enjoying the three guna of the material nature by spreading prajalpas,almost everyone is busy to do something but to be busy by barking to the misery of this biped society by finding faults in others in spreading the unreal truth is the classic business of a donkey a perfect mudha and although he see a donkey to die because of the wrong business the others donkey are keeping going on the wrong path in getting all the others donkey destination in the hellish planets,
therefore DHARMA-RAJA tell to his servants the yamadutas all of you have to bring me people who never prayed SRI KRSNA for service sincerely to bring me all the mayavadi maha aparadhi who are blaming the real devotees by finding faults in them through gossip to bring me people who are increasing their anarthas unwanted habits instead of getting rid of them therefore siva always pray SRI SANKARSANA to bind up to the material samsara all the envious fake devotees which are everywhere like SRI MAYA DEVI therefore SRILA PRABHUPADA said tell me a place where there is not maya devi and I go there immediately,all the spiritual institutions got the side effect to destroy and that’s kama.krodha.lobha/matsarya.mada and mohan illusion.
SRILA PRABHUPADA is a transcendental visionary and HIS vision was how I can I connect all these fake reflections and manifestations of the tama guna in saguna elements born from the refusal to serve SRI KRSNA to the real one ?by awaking in them their hidden bhakti through HIS purity.anyway all these donkey were existing even when SRI KRSNA was on this planet actually they been always there by swimming in their stink drains as that donkey of Sisupala dhuryodana etc…this was the dynasty of donkey at the time when SRI KRSNA was present on this palnet but SRI KRSNA didn’t care about all these donkey as SRILA PRABHUPADA did too by following the perfect example of SRI KRSNA VANDE JAGAT GURU,
bhaja govinda bhaja govinda bhaja govinda mudha mate said SRI SANKARACARYA because mental speculation can’t save you at the time of death by doing punas punah carvana carvanam chew the chewed without getting any taste in life and then become a insignificant mouse again punas punah musi-ko bhavo for spoiling the bonus of human form of life by barking worse then a dog working harder then a donkey but still they are claiming to be vaisnava and not kali chelas therefore SRILA PRABHUPADA said do your material business quickly then go back home because almost everyone got donkey history then dog and pig history in this animal kingdom made by biped misfortunate souls who are still living in the past of their donkey history criticite out of envy those donkey who been able to stop their donkey history by taking shelter in SRILA PRABHUPADA it’s said that only the ten per cent fallen down from their blissfull position and among this ten per cent those who are increasing their donkey history are the worse asses and all these donkey are taking shelter in f-iskcon by keeping to betray SRILA PRABHUPADA that’s all
