Devotee:
Salutations, Gurudev. Salutations, Sir. Viewers, as you can see, Sir is here with Gurudev today. In a previous video, Gurudev asked, "Why isn't it raining? Give me an answer." Today, Gurudev and Sir will discuss that very topic. Please listen.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Won't you say why it isn't raining? When will it start? Tell us something so we have some hope.
Devotee:
Actually, the issue is extreme global warming. The climate is changing globally, and India's climate is changing significantly more than other nations. This is largely due to human impact. In India, the monsoon winds are primarily drawn in by the low pressure created in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan. However, we have now turned that desert green; there are many trees, extensive farming, and irrigation systems. Because of this, no significant low pressure is forming in the Thar Desert.
Devotee:
As a result, moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal cannot enter the mainland. Currently, both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are very active, but the low pressure is forming in Central India instead. Consequently, the moisture-laden winds are moving toward Central India via Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. This is causing excessive rainfall in areas that were previously rain-shadow or dry regions, which is actually harming people's lives. Conversely, the monsoon cannot enter our region, leading to a lack of rain.
Devotee:
Given the current situation, the monsoon is expected to become active after mid-July. At that time, moisture-laden winds will enter our region, and it will rain. This year, we expect more rainfall than usual; even though the monsoon is arriving late, we will receive a lot of rain, which will eventually stabilize the situation.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I've heard it said that 80% of the world's population is at risk of dying because of this heat?
Devotee:
That's correct. Every moment, people are dying from heart attacks and heat strokes. The primary cause is this extreme heat. Importantly, if the global temperature crosses 53 degrees Celsius, most of the world's population may perish.
Devotee:
They say it's 30 or 40 degrees, but it feels much hotter.
Devotee:
Yes, what we call "sensible heat"-the temperature we actually feel-is crossing 50 degrees Celsius. Most people will lose their ability to survive under these conditions. While we haven't fully reached that point yet, we are slowly getting there. In the coming years, it could take an even more terrifying form.
Devotee:
This is the result of not managing the environment properly for a long time and dealing with nature thoughtlessly. This problem isn't just in India; it's global. Deserts act like the "heart" of a landmass, regulating air pressure. But we have interfered with those deserts. The Thar Desert, the Gobi Desert, and the Sahara-every country is suffering because of this. We need strong government initiatives and decisive actions, as so many people are currently facing this crisis.
Devotee:
So, there's no hope for rain soon?
Devotee:
No, rain is unlikely before July 12th. There may be scattered rainfall, as we see now, but it will be accompanied by severe thunderstorms. I don't know how much that rain will help, but many people are dying from lightning strikes.
Devotee:
Yes, people are dying like birds from lightning.
Devotee:
Exactly.
Devotee:
Alright. Viewers, you've heard from Gurudev and Sir. There isn't much more to add. We will end it here. Salutations, Sir. Salutations, Gurudev.
