Salman Khan's Being Human Foundation adopts villages, sends water tankers to drought-hit districts in Maharashtra

It is learnt that the actor has been personally involved in trying to find a way to make the lives of the farmers better.

Salman Khan comes to the rescue of the thousands of farmers in Maharashtra. What should have been a government initiative or an undertaking by a multinational company, has been done by one man.
His Being Human Foundation has taken up the task to ensure that the drought-hit villages in Marathwada district never face water shortage ever again.

It is learnt that the actor has been personally involved in trying to find a way to make the lives of the farmers better.
Salman was in touch with the Chief Minister's Office and learnt that water tanks are being sent to the villages but the farmers didn't have any facility to store water. After research and talks with experts, he found that the drought situation was not so much for lack of water. Water was only a problem for six months of the year.
The area gets rain but they have no facility to save and conserve. Salman realised that to improve the farmers' condition, that had to change. So he asked his team to buy water tanks and deliver them before the rains so the villages don't have water shortage next year. These tanks can be used for at least 10 years.

On Tuesday, the foundation provided 2,500 water tankers with a storage capacity of 2,000 litre each to the drought-affected districts. The NGO supplied 750 water tankers to Beed, 500 each to Osmanabad and Jalna, and 250 each to Aurangabad and Nanded.
The actor, who is currently shooting for his film Mental in Goa, was unavailable for comment.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
