DEMIGODS BEING PLEASED

"In charge of the various necessities of life, the demigods, being satisfied by the performance of yajña [sacrifice], supply all necessities to man. But he who enjoys these gifts, without offering them to the demigods in return, is certainly a thief." BG 3.12
There is an older couple, semi-retired, who maintain the irrigation system for the community. It is an old system and breaks down all the the time. So they have a lot to do to keep it up and running. They are an unusual couple. They work together like one person. I have talked with them several times and they are really sweet people. They have taken some of the famous dried papaya prasadam and cold water.

Today they were across the street. There is a pump that takes water from the man-made lake and keeps the area green through hundreds of spray heads everywhere. It has not rained in several weeks and the irrigation system has not be working. Everything is very dry and brown. Sometimes they can't fix it right away because they are waiting for a part. But today they were here.
I was sitting outside under the giant black olive tree, nice shade, chanting japa. The leak was across the street not here at this house. Bill waved. I waved back. He turned the sprinklers on for this house and let everything get a good drink for about 30 minutes. Why did they do that? It was just this house out of 140 houses that got water. They didn't need to do that. They did it because they wanted to do something nice for me.
This verse from Gita... the demigods being pleased supply all necessities. When the demigods are pleased by sacrifice (sankirtan sacrifice) they are happy to do something nice. Srila Prabhupada explains it is not necessary to try to please them outside of Krishna consciousness. The demigods are servants of Krishna. When Krishna is pleased they are also pleased.
