Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I spoke to Bhasurananda Natha earlier today about the situation in Mumbai, and asked his advice on how Shakti Sadhana members might respond: BN: Bombay had 94 inches rain in one day. The whole place is a mess. DB: Yes, I heard it is breaking all the records. BN: Yes indeed. The earlier highest-rain record was 33 inches in one day at Chirapunji, the wettest place in the world. That was in 1910. DB: Do you have any family there? BN: Yes. My brother-in-law told me he walked 12 hours to reach home. That's 40 or 50 miles. He says his car is all flooded; the music system, computer, all that is damaged. DB: What a shame. And it's still raining. BN: Looks like that. DB: You know, I feel especially bad for the poorer people living in makeshift places in Bombay, on the streets and shanty-towns and so on. BN: Yes, they will be the hardest hit. They would have lost just everything. DB: I think I will put a notice in Shakti Sadhana, asking members to remember these people in their prayers. BN: Yes, please. DB: Maybe you have a specific suggestion of what prayer people can say? BN: They should pray that the ever-bountiful Devi who sustains the world may feel pity on the poor and ease their suffering and bring the greatest good from this tragedy to those affected.
