The first and second photos were taken around 10 months apart. Above is a picture of Hanuman the bull, also known as “Boney Cow”, taken today. It seems like it was ages ago that he came here, but it hasn’t even been a year. Back then Lord Jagannatha arranged a miracle to save his life,…
Yesterday we sat with one of the street puppies as they left their body from parvo disease. She had been the healthiest of the four mange puppies, but parvo hits so fast that they go from healthy to boney in just 2 days.
Around a month ago Butu, my Muslim mason friend who helps me treat sick animals at our ashram, came up to me and asked a peculiar question. “If a dog is ran over by a truck, what medicine would you give it?” From the question I could understand something was not right, so I asked…
Today is a good day for us to be thankful for. Pandava the cat, one of 20 cats that live around this temple property, had been very sick for five days. Throughout the five days he was constantly dripping and vomiting blood from his mouth, and it couldn’t be stopped. I suspect he had accidentally…
Today Raju the street bull came for a visit to his old bull friends in our goshala. Previously when he was a baby we called him “Maaah Shanda” because of the sound he would make whenever he would see us. Later we met his previous owner who told us his name is Raju, and he…
Tonight this injured dog died under our care after spending three days with us. He wasn’t supposed to be here with us, but another one of those strange arrangements happened. Three days ago, late in the night around 1 am, I went outside our main gate to check on some of the regular dogs who…
On the morning of Balarama Jayanti a sick baby calf appeared near the back gate of our ashram. His entire body was covered in open sores with maggots inside them. One of his legs was completely rotting and the flesh was hanging off. One of his eyes was swollen extremely large. Seeing the critical state…
This is one of the saddest miracles I have witnessed, nevertheless it is another miracle performed by Lord Jagannatha for his dear devotee and should be narrated. Not all miracles have externally happy endings.
Here is one of our favorite bulls we were trying our best to save for many months. Because of his extreme skinny condition when he first arrived we called him “Boney Cow” when talking amongst ourselves, and the name stuck. It was not the best name, but it was the easiest way to understand who…
Kapila Muni is a young golden coloured bull calf who has been coming to our ashram for around 7 months now. When very young Kapila Muni’s mother died from a snake bite and he was abandoned on the street all alone. Somehow he found our ashram and has been sleeping here every day since. From…
