Nandi Baba Rescued – Tail Injury, Mayur Vihar Phase 3 Delhi
In June 2021, GauNandiSewa rescued a Nandi baba from Mayur Vihar Phase 3, Delhi whose tail had been cut nearly in half and was bleeding heavily.
The Tail Said to Guide Souls Across the Vaitarani
In Hindu funeral tradition, it is said that the dying can cross the river Vaitarani into the next life by holding onto the tail of a cow — go-puccha daan, an act considered sacred enough to ease a soul's final journey. It makes what GauNandiSewa found in Mayur Vihar Phase 3, Delhi in June 2021 harder to look past: a Nandi baba whose tail, the very part of him held sacred in this tradition, had been cut nearly in half and was bleeding heavily.
Stopping the Bleeding First
GauNandiSewa's animal rescue ambulance reached him and brought him in for urgent treatment. A tail injury this severe bleeds heavily and doesn't stop on its own — controlling the bleeding was the immediate priority before the wound itself could be properly cleaned and treated.
Treatment Continuing
He remains under GauNandiSewa's care as treatment continues. A part of him this tradition holds sacred enough to guide a soul across a river deserves nothing less than the full attention it's now getting.
