Near the temple there was a big pond. In a small ditch of that pond, a little water was left. Thousands of dish in the ponds had died due to lack of water and the other surviving thousands of fish were collected in that little water of the ditch and were tossing about due to insufficient water. On top of this it was very hot. The water in the ditch was also about to dry up with in once or tow days. With the rest of the fish would also die writhing. Swami was moved to see this pitiful sigh. He became restless and kept thinking as to how to save he life to those fish. Coming to know of the good news of arrival of swami many people came for this darshan. All of them prayed with folded hands for the same thing Maharaj! The garniture has suffered a great damage due to want of rainfall for many days. The water in the ponds and wells has also dried up. Now the a and bird are also starving due to scarcity of water. Kindly tell any means to cause rain so that staring due to scarcity of water.
