Recently, a fire broke out in Sector 19 of the Kumbh Mela, near the Geeta Press stall. The incident was claimed via email by the KGF terrorist group. Fortunately, timely safety measures ensured that no casualties occurred. However, the event has sparked debates on social media, with some questioning why God, Sanatan Dharma, or saints didn’t intervene to prevent the fire, while science (fire brigade department and safety equipment) ultimately saved lives.

This perspective reflects a misunderstanding of God’s blessings and His role in the world. God doesn’t directly intervene in every situation but blesses us with intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge to handle challenges effectively. Expecting miraculous intervention from God misinterprets the true nature of divine blessings.
The True Nature of Divine Intervention
Laws of Nature and Consequences
Every action has consequences. Just as fire burns anything that is not fire-resistant, our actions lead to inevitable outcomes. For example, carelessness can result in accidents. Similarly, harming others beyond their tolerance invites suffering. Understanding these natural laws is part of the wisdom bestowed by God.
Wisdom and Responsibility
God’s intervention often manifests as wisdom and understanding. He provides us with the knowledge to recognize the outcomes of our actions and take responsible measures to avoid harm. For instance, He inspires us to create safety systems and act prudently.
Subtle Divine Guidance
When someone plans to harm others, God may intervene subtly, ensuring their intentions fail. This unconscious guidance is a profound form of divine grace.
Humanity’s Role
Instead of questioning why God didn’t extinguish the fire directly, we should recognize the intelligence, innovation, and responsiveness He has instilled in us. The fact that no lives were lost during the fire at Kumbh Mela is a testament to this divine gift.
We must act with compassion, empathy, and equality, understanding that every being is a soul, not just a body. By aligning our actions with these principles, we fulfill our responsibilities and contribute to a harmonious world.
The fire at Kumbh reminds us that God’s blessings don’t mean miraculous interventions but the wisdom and capability to face life’s challenges responsibly and compassionately.
A Year of Fire – Astrological Insights for 2025
The year 2025 adds up to the number 9, governed by Mars, which astrologically represents fire, earthquakes, and conflicts. This year may witness significant events related to these elements.
It’s worth noting that even the most technologically advanced nations like the United States face challenges in controlling catastrophic fires. For instance, a wildfire in Los Angeles has raged for over three weeks, turning parts of California into desolate ruins. Another blaze has erupted north of Los Angeles, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes.
We pray to the Almighty that these devastating events come to an end soon. Let us remain vigilant and prepared, using the wisdom and resources granted to us.
