With the ongoing heavy monsoons in India many towns and villages are inundated, stranding hundreds of thousands of people. The situation is particularly dire in the city of Surat and other towns and villages of Gujarat. Pramukh Swami Maharaj offered dhun and prayers and engaged devotees in chanting dhun for 24 hours for the rains to stop, the flood waters to subside and safety of hundreds of thousands of people. On Swamishri's inspiration food packets and drinking water are being supplied by BAPS sadhus and volunteers.
