In the early hours of 30 July 2024, there were multiple landslides in villages of Wayanad district, Kerala. The landslides were one of the deadliest natural disasters in Kerala's history, with initial reports of more than 300 dead.

Jagadguru Swami Isa was distraught by the information. He said, “The tragedy in Wayanad is heartbreaking.  We pray for all of those who lost loved ones, and for the souls of the departed.

“It is most tragic that this disaster could have been averted. These catastrophes are born of the great falsehood propagated by our modern education, which teachers that man is separate from nature. If we rectify that misconception, our way of life will totally change.

“For now, it is time to ease the suffering of those who are in pain, and Swamiji urges everyone to do what they can.”

The Isa Viswa Prajnana Trust is planning to help rebuild homes in Wayanad. For more information: office(at)ivpt.org
