Many parts of the world are witnessing storms
\nThat cause a lot of damage, destruction and fear
\nWe had the storm in 2008 named\u00a0Nargis <\/em>in Myanmar
\nHurricanes\u00a0Vince<\/em>,\u00a0Alpha <\/em>in Europe in 2005 and\u00a0last year<\/p>\n

Cyclones, Hurricanes, Typhoons have strong winds and rain
\nWinds blowing Clockwise in Southern Hemisphere
\nAnti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere
\nAround a centre or eye of the storm<\/p>\n

The names of these\u00a0cyclonic storms or hurricanes are different
\nBut they cause common devastation and destruction
\nBoth of people and animals \u2014 cows, goats, lions, fish
\nTo reduce destruction people moved to safer places
\nBut buildings, bridges, and poor people\u2019s huts cannot be moved<\/p>\n

Hurricanes named Hanna, Harvey, Irma, Laura, and Dorian in USA
\nDineo cyclone occurred in 2017 in S Africa
\nTauktae <\/em><\/strong>in Kerala in southern and western parts of India this year
\nAnd now YAAS <\/em><\/strong>on eastern parts \u2014 near W Bengal, Odisha
\nNames of these storms which originate in different parts differ
\nBut destruction and fear caused by them are similar<\/p>\n

These cyclones, storms are age old curse on humanity
\nTheir destruction and trauma have increased in intensity<\/p>\n

No way to escape from them when they happen
\nGodliness and spiritual salvation to help you to deter
\nThe fear, violence, trauma when they occur<\/p>\n

Krishna says have no fear, uncertainty
\nRemember me, save yourself save humanity<\/p>\n
