During a
Satsang
held in the divine presence in London, UK 2016. A devotee asked what can one do to avert calamities,
Here is what Swami said:
You cannot do much physically, but you can always pray for peace. Prayers have a lot of power. However, the process of creation and destruction is a natural law. As the seasons pass, some survive and some have to die. You cannot all fit into the new season. Similarly, when the times are changing, those who do not fit into the Divine Consciousness will perish some way or the other. It could be a war, it could be a suicide or it could be a natural disaster. Some way or the other, nature will find a way to balance itself. That is a natural law. Results may be different, but the purpose for which it is happening is the same.

They were fed freshly picked fruits and other items of food as well as given a bucket of water to quench their thirst. To the delight of the youth, the bucket of water kept outside was also utilised by other animals.
