May we bless for copious rains

Rain Song:

May the rains be bountiful - for
The rivers, tanks, wells and lakes to be full
May the people lead a life peaceful!

Only if it rains properly, will we get water; the rivers, tanks, wells and lakes will be filled with water. People can carry on the agricultural activities and there will be no famine. Rains are essential for survival. The need for water is increasing day by day, all over the world. At the same time, the water resources are shrinking. Let us realize the importance of water and shall use it prudently.

If it rains heavily, there will be floods. If it does not rain, there will be famine. Hence, it is essential to have bountiful rains. Only then can people lead a happy life and peace will prevail in the society. Let us sing the rain song daily, to have bountiful rains.
