Dear Brothers and Sisters, As you may be aware, the low-lying coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha in Eastern India are in the path of the cyclonic storm, Phailin that is likely to make landfall on Saturday, Oct 12. This impending cyclonic storm Phailin has brewed over east central Bay of Bengal, intensifying into a 'very severe cyclonic storm' of Category 5 strength on a scale of 1 to 5. The super-cyclone in 1999 that killed around 15,000 people in Odisha was a Category 5 storm too. Dear Readers, prayers have tremendous power and collective and selfless prayers are even more powerful. This is a sincere request that you join us to pray for the safety and well being of all forms of life that lie in the path of this cyclone. Let us pray as one voice to mother nature to calm her fury, and pass by these areas without any devastation. Let us sanctify this Navaratri by praying individually or/and in groups so that this cyclone downgrades in its intensity before making landfall. May our sisters and brothers in coastal parts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha be spared from the wrath of the cyclone. May all the beings in all the worlds be safe and happy! Samastha Lokaha Sukhino Bhavantu! Pease share this appeal with others too. At His service, Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation & Team Radio Sai |
