It has been a while.
It has been raining cats and dogs. I am not entirely sure, it is not my fault. Last week we officially declared a flood. Many northern districts are still underwater, many lower riparian districts in Andhra are being evacuated. For the first time in history the entire temple and town of Mantralaya was flooded, with more than 15 feet of water. Raichur, where it hardly ever rains is underwater.
Some people asked... Why?... How?.... I don't think they want an answer. The answer has been screaming in their faces for years now and they never bothered to listen. GLOBAL WARMING. Yes, the same old pollution, CO2 and blah! blah! Quickly change the channel. The reigning seer of the Mantralaya Math Sri Suyateendra Teertha Swami had to be rescued from the roof top of the temple with a helicopter. I wish him well, and truly hope that he or no one else shall have to endure such and ordeal ever. I also wish he shall see the wisdom in protecting the environment. He and his math is active in greenery projects, but that is hardly enough. I did pray for him and also prayed that his prime teacher Sri Raghavendra Swami will instigate him in the path of environmental protection.
Men, mortals and eco-freaks have worked tirelessly for years now to save what is left of nature. And, sadly failed for most of it. What is needed now are inspired men, dedicated masses and eco-freaks. He can play a pivotal role in inspiring the people. We only need a spark to light the fire. He, as a monk, is bound by oath to protect dharma and harm none. He is a wise man, what remains is that he sees the connection.
