BACHPAN se seva

Little Helpers, Big Hearts – A Day of Love, Learning & Legacy

This Radhashtami, we returned to a very special corner of Braj — the place where Rainbow and her furry friends roam freely, and where a new generation of compassionate caretakers is already blooming.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear: these children aren't just growing up around animals — they're growing up with seva in their hearts.

Bachpan Se Seva — Second Session at Bhakta Bandhav Gurukulam, Vrindavan

The second session of our Bachpan Se Seva initiative was held at Bhakta Bandhav Gurukulam in Vrindavan, founded by Yashoda Gopi Devi Dasi. With her kind support, Braj Animal Care was invited to lead the engaging event on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, to promote compassion for animals among young minds.

Bachpan Se Seva – Nurturing Compassion From Childhood

A Braj Animal Care initiative for children aged 3–12, Bachpan Se Seva introduces young hearts to animal welfare through hands-on kindness, play, and creativity. This movement fosters empathy, responsibility, and compassion—values that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Compassion in Little Hands: Nurturing Animal Lovers from Childhood

When we were children,
We all either swayed to or were charmed by the old classic,

“Nanhe munne bachche teri mutthi mein kya hai
Mutthi mein hai takdeer hamaari.”
("Little children, what is in your tiny fist? In our fist lies our destiny.")

Street Animals and Young Hearts: Building Empathy from the Start

Is AI going to take your job?
And replace all humans?

If your answer is yes right now,
Then what about your children?

Well, take a breath, because the truth is…

Preventing the Suffering of Braj's Animals: A Peek Inside Braj Animal Care (BAC)

2020
When the doors were locked,
The sky was dark and still,
Faces were masked,
Streets were ghostly.
The voiceless roamed,
Not knowing what was yet to come.

Today’s Morning Feeding with our dear team member Vishakha didi ❤️ #brajanimalcare #vrindavan #dailyfoodfeed #strayanimals #dogs #animalcare

🚨 Emergency case from Sundrak 🚨 This morning around 10:30 am, a female dog was found on Ramtal Road after an accident. She suffered a severe head injury and was bleeding heavily. Right now, she remains unconscious. The doctor has already given her primary treatment, and the callers have assured every possible help for her care. Our team will continue to support her recovery with treatment and follow-up. We’re hoping she regains her strength soon. Please keep her in your prayers 🙏 #vrindavan #brajanimalcare #dogrescue #animalrecovery #compassion

‼️ Emergency Cow Feeding in Flooded Vrindavan ‼️ Today was our second day feeding over 500 cows at the flood relief camp in Vrindavan. 🐄💛 These cows were rescued from the rising waters and are still weak and hungry, so this daily feeding is making a huge difference. It’s not only the cows who are suffering — many stray dogs are also stranded in the camp. Today, we brought them special paneer–rice laddus to ease their hunger. 🐕✨ Seeing their wagging tails after such a terrible hardship was unforgettable. We were also overjoyed to have so many friends come again to volunteer. Together, we’re showing that love in action can bring relief even in the toughest times. 🙏 If you’d like to join as a volunteer or support this effort financially, please DM us. Your support is truly making a real impact! #VrindavanFloodRelief #BrajAnimalCare #SaveTheCows #AnimalRescue #FloodRelief #GauSeva #dogs

🚨 Flood Emergency in Vrindavan🚨 Over 500 cows have been rescued from rising waters and are now stranded on a small patch of dry land. They’re safe — but urgently need food. Today, our team at Braj Animal Care delivered a full truckload of green fodder. The cows were so hungry, they rushed to eat as soon as we arrived. 💔🐄 We’re committed to feeding them every single day until the floods subside — but we can’t do it without your help. 🙏 To donate, tap the link in our bio. 🤝 To volunteer, send us a DM. Endless thanks to all who have already donated or shown up to help. You are making a real difference.💚 #VrindavanFloodRelief #BrajAnimalCare #SaveTheCows #AnimalRescue #FloodRelief #GauSeva

We got a call about a baby monkey near Keshi Ghat 🐒⚡ who had been electrocuted. Some kind devotees rescued him and even gave first aid before we arrived. 🩹 His hand is badly damaged, with bones visible 🦵 Legs are strained and wounded 💉 Treatment and medicines were given on the spot After treatment, we requested the devotees to leave him back in the same area, so he stays safe and doesn’t get attacked by other monkeys. The baby is conscious and stable for now, and follow-up care will be provided when needed 💖 #vrindavan #brajanimalcare #monkeyrescue #animalhealing #compassion

One of our BAC team members, Bablu Bhaiya, spotted a bull with what appeared to be a burn injury—possibly from acid—on the left side of his body. The wound was raw, painful, and at high risk of maggot infestation.⁣ ⁣ We always carry turmeric pouches in our scooters, bags, and cars. It’s our go-to emergency aid when we spot injured animals on the move. ⁣ 🌿 Turmeric is helpful in first aid because: • It’s a natural antiseptic – helps prevent infection • Has anti-inflammatory properties – soothes pain and swelling • Works as a fly deterrent – its strong smell helps keep flies away • Acts as a mild clotting agent – can help stop minor bleeding 💛 While turmeric can support healing in the short term, it is not a replacement for proper veterinary care. It should only be used as immediate aid until help can arrive. ⁣ 🚨 Please always report injured animals. Our team and vets can provide proper treatment, pain relief, and follow-up care. Sadly, in this case, the bull couldn’t be found again after the first sighting. ⁣ Your call can change a life. Don’t scroll past. 🙏 ⁣ #StreetAnimalCare #FirstAidForAnimals #BACIndia #TurmericHeals #EmergencyAid #CompassionInAction #reportdontignore

⚠️ New case from Athkambha, near Shri Radha Vallabh Temple ⚠️ This male dog has been lying weak in a corner for the past 2–3 days, and his condition is extremely serious. The doctor suspects food poisoning, possibly from eating a dead rat. His temperature is very low, and he may not survive. Even in this difficult time, primary treatment has been given, and the caller will continue his care. Our team will do everything possible to make his last moments less painful, so that he feels comfort, dignity, and the love he deserves. 💙 Please keep him in your prayers 🙏 #vrindavan #brajanimalcare #dogrescue #animalcare #compassion

✨ Lola’s treatment near Radharani Palace ✨ Today, we treated Lola, one of our sweetest feeding point dogs. We feed her every day near Radharani Palace, and she always greets us with love. Recently, she developed trouble walking due to a leg injury. A while back, we received a call about her, but she couldn’t be found at the time. Thankfully, today we found her and gave her treatment — spray and an injection. The doctor will be following up, and in three days our team will check on her again to make sure she is healing well. We’re so relieved Lola is finally receiving care, and we hope she’s back on her paws soon 🐾❤️‍🩹 #vrindavan #brajanimalcare #dogrescue #animalrecovery #compassion

Meet Kajal. A few weeks ago, she was reported to us with what looked like a tumour in her genital area. While we were trying to secure a hospital space—a process that took just one day—we were told she had already been sent out of Vrindavan for treatment, despite our confirmation that we would pick her up. Weeks later, we started getting fresh reports: a black female dog with a vaginal tumour had been spotted again. We searched for almost a week—through rain and hope—and finally, we found her. It was Kajal. She hadn’t received treatment after all. But now, she’s safe in the hospital. 💉🐾 Her care, food, and stay are being funded by us—and we’ll be with her every step of the way. Please keep Kajal in your thoughts. She’s already been through so much, and we’re praying she pulls through. She has Transmissible Venereal Tumour (TVT)—a contagious cancer in dogs that appears as cauliflower-like, bleeding masses, usually on the genitals or face. It spreads through contact and is treatable with chemotherapy, often with good results. If you’d like to support Kajal’s treatment, DM us. ❤️ #RescueStory #KajalTheWarrior #AnimalRescue #CompassionInAction #SupportStrayDogs #BrajAnimalCare #Vrindavan
