Preparation required to survive during the adverse times

Whatever preparations we may make for protection, during extreme adversity we will be compelled to rely on God !

1. Coronavirus pandemic is just a small glimpse into the coming adverse times

Since January 2020, Coronavirus has created havoc throughout the world. Due to lockdowns during this pandemic, many businesses and industries were badly hit. This led to recession in economies around the world. Due to this pandemic, loss of lives and financial losses were vast.

The hanging sword of the pandemic spread has made it difficult to move freely in society, take treatment in hospitals, etc. An environment of fear and stress exists everywhere. From all this, it appears that the corona pandemic is just a small glimpse into the coming severe adverse times.

2. Brief outline of the severe adverse times

Adverse times in the form of World War, earthquakes, floods, etc. are yet to come. Many Nadipatti-readers, Saints and Seers have predicted that the advent of adverse times is certain.

Holding China responsible for the spread of corona pandemic, some European countries along with USA, are gearing up for war against China. World War 3 is approaching. These adverse times we speak will not last a few days or months, they will last 3 long years; in other words, till the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ (Ideal Divine Rule) is established.

During the adverse times, the power supply gets disrupted, the transport system collapses due to shortage of fuel, etc. As a result, the Administrative machinery is not able to render help everywhere. There are obstacles in the Government’s assistance as well. Hence, cooking gas, essential commodities such as food grains, water are not available for months at a stretch, and if available at all, they are rationed. During such times, it becomes difficult to find doctors, Vaidyas (Ayurveda practitioners), medicines, hospitals, etc. easily. Considering all this, everyone should prepare at the physical, mental, familial, financial, spiritual levels well in advance.

3. Preparation at the physical level

Food is the fundamental requirement of living beings. For us to not starve during the adverse times, it is essential to buy sufficient quantities of food grains well in advance.

The present generation is not aware of the methods of storing & preserving various types of food grains for long duration. Hence, on our Website we have suggested some methods of food preservation. Whatever be the quantity of food grains, it will get consumed, and if for some reason the stock is not supplemented, it will get exhausted. As a precaution to not reach the extreme state, we need to cultivate food grains as well as vegetables.

There are many restrictions to cultivating food grains such as rice, legumes; but root and tuber vegetables, vegetables that require less water and those that can be grown around the year, fruit-bearing trees, etc. can be grown around the house and in the balcony of a flat.

Practical suggestions to go about such cultivation has also been provided on the Website. During the adverse times, cooking gas may not be available. Hence, advice is that wood-fired stove, solar cooker, etc. be used.

It may not be possible to cook all normal food items during the adverse times. Keeping this in mind, practical suggestions have been given on storing specific food items and ways to preserve them longer.

A list of items that are daily necessities for a family, as well as items required occasionally, has been provided. This will help the readers make their purchases judiciously.

Surviving is impossible without water, and the present generation of humans cannot think of living without electricity. Hence, suggestions for alternative sources of water, storing water, purifying it, as well as alternative sources of electricity, have been suggested.

Every aspect has been covered with the intent of providing as many alternatives as possible to make the adversity of time bearable. We should consider the need, availability of space, financial state, local weather and geographical location while making arrange-ments. Limitations on providing suggestions at the practical level, constrains us to give suggestions only; for example, while we suggest that a well be dug to avoid scarcity of water during the adverse times, we have refrained from providing details. Readers are requested to consult experts or study relevant books in such matters.

4. Preparation at the mental level

Many suffer from restlessness, anxiety, depression, fear, etc. during adverse times. To avoid such phases of unhappiness and face the adversities courageously, guidance has been provided on the appropriate autosuggestions we can use to condition the mind in advance.

5. Preparation at the spiritual level

Whatever preparations one may make on his own for protection during the adverse times, during extreme adversity we will be compelled to rely on God. If we obtain God’s grace by performing spiritual practice, God will certainly help during any crisis. Seriousness about performing spiritual practice will develop after reading this.
