I know why, it’s bc there’s videos everywhere of dozens of ppl losing their lives. That’s kinda new for a natural disaster

In Hindu philosophy that’s the nature of this material world. It’s an existence of suffering. Which is why we pray to god and disconnect to escape these cycles. Our people have been dealing with these cyclic floods for millennia. The Himalayas and the rivers that come out of them make the most fertile land in the world but they are extremely unforgiving

We’re reborn lifetime after lifetime into different bodies and experience the material world experiencing joy and suffering and the cycle goes on and on forever. The purpose of life is to escape this cycle
