BACHPAN se seva

Planting the Seeds of Compassion Early

Children at Braj Animal Care experienced seva firsthand—feeding street animals, learning compassion, and understanding responsible care. Through interactive activities and expert guidance, they connected kindness with action.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030, this initiative nurtures empathy from a young age.

Seva learned early becomes a value for life. 🐾

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.

Balls, Blinkit & Braj: BAC at Durgotsav GK-2

If you have ever stood inside a South Delhi Durga Puja pandal on Sasthi evening, you will recognise the sensory riot that defines Durgotsav Greater Kailash 2. The air is ninety per cent dhunuchi smoke, ten per cent sweet bhog-er khichuri, all soundtracked by the thunderous beats of the dhak and the high-decibel debates of aunties comparing Dhakai Jamdani sarees. Everyone is thirsty for cultural camaraderie, and frantically posing for the almighty Instagram feed.

Into this exact whirlwind, from 15th to 20th October, a handful of us pitched a canopy. We were not selling trending jewellery, artisanal designer clothes, or festive confectioneries. We were Braj Animal Care (BAC), arriving straight from the sacred dust and alleys of Vrindavan, setting up camp in one of the capital's most affluent postcodes.

Finding Compassion in the Streets of Braj

"Service is not measured by the size of the act, but by the love with which it is offered."

The sacred land of Braj is known for its divine pastimes, where every particle of dust reminds us of love, compassion, and seva. While devotees often come here seeking spiritual fulfilment, there are countless silent souls who call these streets their home—the street animals who rely on the kindness of others for survival. Behind every wagging tail, every hopeful pair of eyes, and every rescued life lies the tireless service of Braj Animal Care (BAC).

हर अंत एक नई शुरुआत: करुणा के आईने में २०२५

साल का अंत अक्सर हमें बाहर की दुनिया में कहीं दूर ले जाने का वादा करता है — यात्राएँ, उत्सव, उपलब्धियाँ। इंस्टाग्राम का ज़माना माँग करता है कि कुछ हैपनिंग सा हो, कुछ कपड़े हों ख़ास, चमकीले रंग और शोर गुल का माहौल.. लेकिन इस बार मेरे साल के आख़िर के कुछ दिन बाहर नहीं, भीतर की ओर थे। वृंदावन की कम प्रचलित गलियों में, उन लोगों के साथ जिनकी हर साँस में करुणा का स्पर्श है, पशुओं को भोजन कराते हुए मैंने मुझ से मुलाकात की।

Our Stories

Cruelty Doesn’t Need a Laboratory We condemn animal experimentation in laboratories. But what about the cruelty happening on our streets? Near Attala Chungi, Vrindavan, we found a monkey who had been lying almost motionless for days, unable to eat or drink. Locals told us someone had fed him bhang. He was barely responsive, even during veterinary treatment. When we followed up the next day, we learnt he had died and had already been buried. We cannot confirm exactly what happened. But if someone deliberately drugged him, how is that any less cruel than experimenting on an animal in a laboratory? His life was not an experiment. His suffering was real. #StopAnimalCruelty #AnimalAbuse #MonkeyRescue #BrajAnimalCare

🐾 A tiny wound can become a life-threatening problem! A female street dog near Radha Rani Palace, Vrindavan, with an open wound on her hindquarters. 🍪 Our team carefully lured her closer with a biscuit before safely catching her for treatment. ⚠️ Why should even small wounds concern us? 🪰 Flies can lay eggs in open wounds, which hatch into maggots. 🩸 Depending on the species, maggots can feed on dead or living tissue, causing wounds to deepen and expand. 🚨 Severe infestations can lead to serious infections, extensive tissue damage and even death. 🐕 She could reach her wound to lick it, but licking can actually interfere with healing and introduce bacteria. ❤️‍🩹 Thankfully, our vet treated her wound, and we’ll continue following up to monitor her recovery. 🙏 Don’t wait for a small wound to become a big one. Report it early. Timely treatment can save a life. #BrajAnimalCare #StreetDogRescue #AnimalWelfare #SaveStreetDogs #Vrindavan

Before you judge, see their choices A torn garbage bag. A stolen bite. A growl when someone comes too close. What looks like trouble may be hunger or fear. Some have known human hands only through beatings, broken bones and lasting disabilities. Before judging how they survive, ask what choices we’ve left them. Help Braj Animal Care give them better ones. 🐾 #BrajAnimalCare #StreetDogs #AnimalRescue #BeKindToAnimals #Vrindavan

🌸 Serving Vrindavan’s Animals❤️ The moment she found the time, she booked her ticket! 🐾 Murari Priya’s experience volunteering with Braj Animal Care left her feeling deeply grateful. Being able to care for the animals and contribute to their wellbeing brought her immense happiness. ❤️ What touched her most was the purity of this seva. In her words, she couldn’t imagine a purer form of service. 🙏 Perhaps that’s what devotion is all about. Allowing our devotional love to become compassion for the lives created by the divine. Every volunteer brings something precious: their time, their kindness and their willingness to care. 🌷 Come experience the joy of serving the Brajwasis with us! #BrajAnimalCare #AnimalSeva #VolunteerWithUs #AnimalWelfare #Vrindavan

🐶❤️‍🩹 Oscar’s Back Again… With Another Wound! Meet Oscar, our adorable, chunky boy who never misses our daily feeding rounds! 🐾 Oscar was already recovering from a wound on his side when we discovered another deep, open wound on his upper back. 💔 🩺 Why do open wounds need immediate attention? 🦠 Bacteria can enter and cause infection. 🪰 Flies can lay eggs, leading to dangerous maggot infestations. ⚠️ Untreated wounds can deepen and become harder to heal. Our vet cleaned and treated Oscar’s wound to help prevent infection and support healing. And Oscar? He patiently let us do everything! 🥹 ❤️ The next day, we spotted him on our feeding round, checked his progress, and found him doing well! That’s why daily feeding rounds matter. We don’t just feed them. We keep an eye on them, too. #BrajAnimalCare #StreetDogRescue #AnimalWelfare #DogRescue #Vrindavan

💔 Vallabh deserved a better ending. 📍Radhavallabh Temple 🐾 Vallabh had been thrown into a pit by people nearby, barely breathing. 🛺 Our team immediately arranged a rickshaw and rushed him to a veterinary hospital in Mathura. ❤️‍🩹 Despite receiving treatment, Vallabh passed away at the hospital. 🌸 We brought him back to Vrindavan and gave him a dignified samadhi. Vallabh’s story is a painful reminder that injured and helpless street animals depend on us, especially when they can no longer protect themselves. 🙏 We couldn’t save Vallabh, but we could ensure that his final moments were met with care and dignity. Rest peacefully, Vallabh. You mattered. ❤️ #BrajAnimalCare #AnimalRescue #StreetDogs #AnimalWelfare #Vrindavan

💔 One breath gave us hope. The next broke our hearts. A concerned caller brought a baby monkey to our Braj Animal Care office after he was reportedly hit by a rickshaw. 🐒 Our vet began CPR, and suddenly, the little one let out a breath. For a moment, we thought he might have a fighting chance. ❤️‍🩹 But the vet explained that what we were witnessing were his final breaths. His internal injuries were too severe, and sadly, he didn’t survive. 🌸 We took him to the banks of Yamuna Ji to give him a dignified samadhi. 🙏 Local residents gathered around, appreciated our team’s efforts and joined us in saying their final goodbyes. 🪨 We placed stones over his resting place to prevent other animals from digging up his body during the night. ⚠️ A single road accident can end a life in seconds. Please slow down and watch out for animals sharing our roads. ❤️ We couldn’t save this little one, but we could honour his life and give him the farewell he deserved. #BrajAnimalCare #AnimalRescue #RoadSafety #AnimalWelfare #Vrindavan

🐄💔 She Survived Lumpy Skin Disease. Now She’s Fighting Another Battle. Near Kishor Van, Seva Kunj, our Braj Animal Care team attended to a cow suffering from painful injuries. Her carer told us she had previously battled lumpy skin disease and recovered, only to face more suffering. 🚨 What every cow lover should know about lumpy skin disease (LSD): 🔴 Symptoms: Fever, loss of appetite, swollen lymph nodes and reduced milk production. 🔴 Warning signs: Painful skin lumps that can develop into deep, open wounds and secondary infections. 🪰 Transmission: Mainly spread through biting flies, mosquitoes and other blood-feeding insects. 💉 Treatment: There is no specific cure for the virus. Veterinary care focuses on relieving symptoms, treating wounds, preventing secondary infections and supporting recovery. 🛡️ Prevention: Vaccination, insect control and isolating infected cattle help protect others. ❤️ A cow may recover from the virus, but damaged skin can still need careful attention. Please don’t ignore a cow with unusual lumps or open wounds. Early veterinary care can prevent further suffering. 📞 Injured animal in Vrindavan?

Fresh food. A warm welcome. 🐾💚 After experiencing aggression from animals where she lives, Muraripriya had some reservations about approaching the animals here. Joining our feeding seva this month, she was moved by how gentle, loving and welcoming these Brajwasis were. She also sponsored a special feeding through our Feed Them Fresh campaign. The difference between seeing them scavenge through rotting food and watching them enjoy a fresh meal is hard to put into words. They deserve better than what’s left to rot. Sponsor a fresh feeding and help us give them that choice. 🥣 #BrajAnimalCare #FeedThemFresh #SponsorAFeeding #BeKindToAnimals #Vrindavan
