Satrod Kalan village in the Hisar district of Haryana was facing a severe tragedy for the past three months. The excessive monsoon water had completely destroyed the farmers’ paddy crop, and the fields were so waterlogged that the sowing of the main Rabi crop, wheat, had become impossible. Local farmers, in despair, sought help from the administration and government departments, but were met with disappointment everywhere.

When hopelessness reached its peak, some farmers, standing in their submerged fields, made a final appeal through a video message, prostrating themselves before Jagatguru Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
This plea was recorded at 5:00 PM on October 11, and the answer arrived at 12:30 AM on the night of October 13 in the form of a massive convoy laden with motors and pipes. This event is not only an example of providing immediate relief but also a testament to the indomitable faith and the boundless compassion of the Saint, which pulled the farmers back from the brink of suicide.
The Flood Calamity and a Three-Month Wait
The farmers of Satrod Kalan had been tormented by an unprecedented waterlogging problem for the past three months. The water level in the fields was up to 5 feet, which had completely rotted the standing paddy crop. The time for sowing wheat in the 11th month was approaching, but the condition of the fields was absolutely unsuitable for cultivation. Expressing their distress, the farmers said they had made countless rounds of the offices of the government, the electricity board, and the irrigation department, made unsuccessful attempts to drain water using tractors, and even burnt seven motors, but the drainage problem was not solved.
According to the farmers, they received no hope from the government machinery, which led them to look towards the only Saint in the world who is selflessly serving society for the alleviation of their suffering. Many farmers expressed in the video their belief that Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only power that can save their lives now and arrange for food for their children.
The Evening of October 11: An appeal to Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj
At 5:00 PM on the evening of October 11, some villagers, standing in their flooded fields, made a highly emotional video, praying with folded hands at the feet of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. In this prayer, they clearly stated that when there is despair all around, their only hope is Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, who will provide them with motors and pipes so they can drain the water and sow the wheat crop.
One farmer, weeping, said that Maharaj Ji has helped farmers across the world, even building houses for the poor whose homes had collapsed. The farmers mentioned the villages of Bhojraj, Daima, and others, where Maharaj Ji had selflessly provided motors and pipes. Pleading for their lives, the farmers of Satrod Kalan said, “Our lives are now in the hands of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. If we sow grain, our children will eat.”
Miraculous Swift Action: Arrival at Midnight
This sincere and heartfelt plea of the farmers reached Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj directly. Although the aid was expected to arrive the next day, October 12, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj was being honored with the “Humanity Protector Award” at the historical Chaubisi Chabutara in Meham on that very day. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj was worried that some farmer might take a wrong step in despair. Giving supreme priority to the suffering of the farmers, He commanded immediate assistance.

Consequently, a long convoy of vehicles loaded with relief materials reached the outskirts of Satrod Kalan village precisely at 12:30 AM on the night of October 13. This action was much faster and more unexpected than any aid provided so quickly by a government or non-government organization. The devotees performed a Mangalacharan (invocation) before entering the village and began the service with complete devotion, praising the Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj.
Details of Relief Material: Quality and Completeness
The material sent to the village upon the command of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj was excellent in both quantity and quality, fulfilling all the farmers’ immediate needs. The exact details of the materials are as follows:
- Motors: Three large 10 Horse Power (HP) motors.
- Pipes: 15,000 feet of high-quality 8-inch diameter pipe.
- Accessories: starter, cable, footvalve (4-inch), elbow (joint), assembly, and all necessary small and large equipment for running the motors were also provided.
The farmers expressed their astonishment at this arrangement, saying that they no longer needed to go to the shop, as Maharaj Ji had given a “complete set” of equipment, ensuring that the farmer would not have to spend “even a single rupee.”
Farmers’ Emotional Gratitude: Comparison to God
The reactions of the farmers after receiving the relief material were extremely emotional.
- The Soldier-Farmer and other villagers: They called this work of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj a “miracle” and said they had never seen such help in their 40 years of life. They said, “The work Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has done, no one else can do.” One farmer said they would be indebted to Maharaj Ji even if they took seven births.
- Comparison to Lord Shri Krishna: The villagers directly compared Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj to Lord Shri Krishna. They said, “Just as Lord Krishna filled the maternal uncle’s gift (Bhaat), Sant Rampal Ji has filled the stores of the farmers today.” This comparison reflects their unwavering faith and respect for Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
- Joyful Sleeplessness: One farmer said that the happiness was so great that they would sleep peacefully tonight, but in reality, they would not be able to sleep due to joy. Their plea had been answered at 12:30 AM, giving them firm faith that God would now save their crop.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s Request Letter, Strict Orders to the Trust, and Permanent Solution
While handing over the relief material, the devotees also presented a ‘Request Letter’ to the Gram Panchayat, which contained the strict orders of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. Its purpose was not just immediate help, but a permanent solution for the future. While reading the request letter, it was stated that:
- To maintain transparency, three videos would be made by a drone. One video of the waterlogged fields has been made, the second will be made after the water is drained, and the third when the crop is flourishing.
- Proper Utilization of Material: Farmers were asked to drain the water and sow the wheat as soon as possible.
- Future Warning: It was clarified that if the water is not drained and the next crop is not sown, no future help will be provided by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, because the “mistake will be yours.”
- Pipe as a Boon: Most importantly, the farmers were advised to bury the pipe and motor in their land so that if waterlogging ever occurs in the future, they can immediately drain the water. This “priceless gift” is a permanent solution to the farmers’ flood problem, ensuring that neither the current crop is ruined nor the future crop is hindered.
Sarpanch Pradeep Punia, on behalf of the entire Panchayat and villagers, repeatedly thanked Maharaj Ji and promised in writing that they would fully comply with the orders and drain the water in time by properly utilizing the equipment.
Support in Disaster, Solution for the Future: Sant Rampal Ji’s Far-Sighted Compassion
Thus, the incident in Satrod Kalan village proves that Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is not only alleviating the immediate hardships of society but is also striving to bring lasting prosperity to the lives of farmers and every needy person by working selflessly for the benefit of humanity and the nation.
