Flash Floods in Istanbul & 3 Gita Lessons on Steadiness | Ep 14

About this video

On the night of 14–15 October 2026, torrential rain brought severe flash flooding to Istanbul, Turkey. Streets turned into rivers, cars were swept away, and water entered many homes. Officials described it as the heaviest downpour in more than eighty years — environment minister Murat Kurum said there had been no such rain in eighty-three years, and linked it to the climate crisis. Next month, the same minister is due to chair the COP31 climate conference in Antalya. According to reports so far, at least 3 people have died, 5 are missing, and more than 3,000 people have been rescued or moved to safety. The Ayazaga neighborhood was hit hardest — a stream upstream burst its banks; power and gas had to be cut in several areas. And amid the devastation, one warm human image — a woman was seen carrying a box of rescued kittens through the flooded streets. When nature shows its power and everything feels fragile, what steadies the human heart? In this episode, Sarthi AI unfolds three sutras from the Gita: 1. Gita 2.14 — pairs of opposites come and go like seasons; be steady 2. Gita 6.5 — lift yourself by yourself; never let the self sink 3. Gita 3.20 — act for the welfare of the world: neighbours rescuing neighbours Circumstances change — the Gita does not 🙏 🌐 https://bhaktiverse.com 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MyBhaktiVerse 📸 Instagram: @bhaktiverse.bharat 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anitesh.shaw 💬 WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HK8CX1Y4eKgEiLlLhnuhE
