Gandhinagar, India: Until the well was drilled, Shaheen Anjum, a mother of four, got up at 2.30am each day to fetch water, wheeling a bike with five or six containers strapped to it to the nearest public pipe in the hope of beating the queues. “Often we would get there and the water would not be running”
George Harrison, July 26, 1976, London: …There’s been a drought in England, there’s no, very little water.
Prabhupada: This is very dangerous. Everything is now yellow.
Jayatirtha: It’s greener here than most places around, but…
George Harrison: Everything’s so dry this year, lots of trees and things dying without water.
Prabhupada: That is the punishment for this age. It is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. There will be scarcity of rain and there will be scarcity of food and heavy taxation by government. And people will become mad on account of these three things. Anavrsti, durbhiksa, karopi.
George Harrison: It’s getting dryer in England each year. It’s probably going to end up as a desert in another hundred years.
Prabhupada: They expect like that?
George Harrison: Well, I don’t know. I think the whole world’s changing. Somebody said it’s the pollution, leaves so much…, there’s so much of the oceans now with polluted and with oil on the top, there’s not so much evaporation anymore.
Prabhupada: Not in the ocean. It is the sinful activities of the populace. That is real problem. They are all engaged in sinful activities. Especially this innocent animal killing. These are the all reaction.
