Mahashivratri Vanar Seva – Feed, Heal & Protect Monkeys

Mahashivratri Vanar Seva Campaign — Feed & Treat Monkeys with Compassion Campaign by Punyakart Foundation • Vrindavan–Mathura Region Support

Mahashivratri is a sacred reminder of compassion, self-control, and service. On this auspicious day, Punyakart Foundation dedicates its efforts to Vanar Seva—providing timely food support and essential medical care for monkeys who roam temple lanes, forest edges, and crowded ghats. Many of these monkeys survive on leftovers, plastic-wrapped waste, or irregular feeding. Seasonal heat, cold nights, and injuries from traffic or territorial fights make their condition even more fragile. Your support this Mahashivratri can become immediate relief for a hungry and hurt life.

Our campaign focuses on two urgent needs: nutritious feeding and basic treatment. Food is not just a meal—it's a way to reduce suffering, prevent aggressive conflicts, and keep groups away from risky areas like highways and crowded market roads. Treatment is equally vital: minor wounds can turn severe without care, dehydration can become dangerous quickly, and infections can spread silently in groups. By supporting this drive, you help create a safer, kinder environment for animals and people alike.

Why Vanar Seva on Mahashivratri Matters

• Faith becomes action: Mahashivratri inspires service, and helping voiceless beings is a pure form of compassion.
• Prevent hunger-driven distress: Regular feeding reduces panic, aggression, and unsafe scavenging.
• Support humane coexistence: When monkeys are fed safely and responsibly, conflicts with residents and visitors decrease.
• Early care saves lives: Timely first-aid and basic medicine can prevent infections and long-term suffering.

What Your Donation Supports

How We Ensure Responsible & Safe Feeding

Responsible Vanar Seva is never random or risky. Our volunteers aim to feed at designated, open spaces away from heavy traffic and busy lanes. We avoid crowding, maintain cleanliness, and follow safe distances to prevent stress to the animals. When medical support is needed, we prioritize calm handling and timely assistance. Every step of this campaign is planned to protect both monkeys and people—because true compassion also means doing it the right way.

A Small Act, A Big Blessing

Imagine a hungry monkey finally getting a safe meal, or an injured one receiving timely help instead of silent suffering. This is what your contribution can do. On Mahashivratri, when hearts are naturally inclined towards devotion, let your devotion become protection for life. Your donation—big or small—adds up to real care, real food, and real healing.

Note: Punyakart Foundation follows responsible feeding practices and prioritizes humane care and safety on ground.
