Mandana village in Bhiwani district, Haryana, had been facing a severe flood disaster for the past two and a half to three months. Water had engulfed the entire area, roads were blocked, and fields were submerged under six to eight feet of water, destroying crops completely. Schools, hospitals, and government offices were all underwater. There was a severe shortage of drinking water and food.
Villagers appealed for help from the administration and political leaders, but no concrete assistance came. In this dire situation, when the villagers were completely disheartened, the blessings of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj arrived as a ray of hope, bringing new life to their hearts.
Dire Situation in the Village
Villagers reported that crops like millet, rice, and other grains were completely destroyed. Water had entered animal shelters and even inside houses. Many families had to leave their homes and take refuge in others’ houses. Children’s education was disrupted, and girls’ schools were submerged. Life was thrown into complete disarray. Despite repeated appeals to the administration, no help arrived, leaving villagers in the darkness of despair.
The Sarpanch’s Prayer and the Saint’s Blessing
When the Sarpanch of Mandana village, Mr. Sanjay Kaushik, learned that Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj in nearby villages were selflessly distributing flood relief materials, a spark of hope was ignited in his heart. He personally went to Barwala and submitted a written prayer at the feet of the Satguru.
No one expected that within hours, their prayer would be answered and a large convoy of relief materials would reach Mandana the very next day. This was nothing short of a miracle.
Unprecedented Assistance
Considering the needs of Mandana village, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj immediately provided 10,000 feet of 8-inch pipes, three highly powerful 20-horsepower motors, and all necessary materials to operate them.
This included starters, copper wires, valve systems, and pipe-joining tools so the villagers could start work immediately. Moreover, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj assured that any future requirements would also be fully met.
Villagers’ Emotions
Receiving the relief materials, villagers were deeply moved. The Sarpanch expressed heartfelt gratitude to Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj, saying that where the government had failed, the saint had performed a miracle. Elders, women, and youth unanimously said that this support was not just a temporary relief but a full-fledged lifeline, giving them the courage to live again. Every villager recognized that true saints are the ones who genuinely serve society.
Extensive Relief Campaign
It is noteworthy that Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj’s service was not limited to Mandana village. Thousands of feet of pipes, dozens of motors, and pumps were also provided to villages in Hisar, Barwala, Gurana, Badhawar, Raad, Litani Village, and Dhani Khan Bahadur in Haryana. Additionally, flood-affected states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu & Kashmir received food and essential relief materials.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj ordered all construction work in His ashrams to be halted immediately, with all resources diverted to flood relief—an exemplary demonstration of compassion and social service.
Identity of a True Saint
Villagers believe that a true saint is someone always ready for the welfare of society. Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj proved that a genuine guru does not merely give sermons but stands with society in times of need. He not only provided material help to flood victims but also strengthened their morale.
The Impossible Became Possible
The story of Mandana village teaches us that with the blessings of a true saint, the impossible becomes possible. A village submerged for months, where hope seemed lost, witnessed a new dawn within 24 hours, thanks to the grace of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj. Today, the entire village bows in reverence to His feet.
