Can Avatar Not Protect Humanity from Natural Calamities
“Why does Sai Baba not help people in distress by bringing rain during droughts or creating food during famine through His Sankalpa Shakti? Cannot an Avatar control the forces of nature and prevent calamities such as earthquakes, floods, epidemics and famine?”
Questions such as these are often raised by critics, sceptics and self-proclaimed rationalists. In a candid and no-holds-barred interaction during the 1960s, renowned journalist and founder of Blitz magazine, R K Karanjia posed these very questions to Bhagawan.
What Swami revealed in response is profound and timeless. In just a few statements, He encapsulated the law of Karma, the responsibility of man, the infinite compassion and power of God, and the deep cosmic relationship between Man, Society, Nature and Divinity.
This Satsangh seeks to reflect deeply upon these revelations of Swami — not merely as philosophical ideas, but as urgent reminders of humanity’s role in rebuilding a world founded upon peace, harmony and righteousness.
