July 18, 2024 – The Saranagati Village, a Vedic Eco Community located 4.5 hours northeast of Vancouver in British Columbia’s southern interior, was given an immediate fire evacuation notice last night. The expansive property, threatened by these latest local wildfires, is home to about 30 families. It includes a K-12 school, a goshala, and a temple. Everyone was safely evacuated to the local village and government resources provided hotels and food allowances. A generous neighbor from the village of Ashcroft helped the community rescue and relocate the cows to a safe location. Obviously, those planning to visit should avoid the area at this time.
Thompson Nicola Regional District fire crews have been battling two fast-moving wildfires in the area, which have prompted the evacuation of over 75 properties in the Venables Valley. According to local reports, there are over 200 wildfires across the province with nearly half burning out of control. Extreme heat warnings are in place for much of the BC interior with temperatures above 30 C.
The Saranagati community is requesting the prayers of devotees around the world. Please share this prayer request with others and follow the community’s Facebook page for the latest updates.
