Update for Embracing the Trees

For the introduction to the ETT initiative, see here.

From the Vedas (between 1200 and 800 BCE):

"The earth provides surface for vegetation which controls the heat buildup. The herbs and plants having union with sun rays provide congenial atmosphere for the life to survive." (Atarva Veda 5.28.5)

"Do not poison (pollute) water and do not harm or cut the trees." (Yajur Veda 6.33)

The ETT initiative involves regional resource teams working through the regional MA Center ashrams (including Amma Centers and Amma Foundation of Canada) to support tree planting activities among satsangs and devotees in their region. It is envisioned to be an interconnected web of support and information among the MA Centers and satsangs, sharing information and expertise. This website is building a section to support this web of tree planting activity among satsangs.

During our recent check-in call on December 12th, each regional team gave updates about their research and activities. All the teams are enthusiastically getting their plans together, making contacts with regional organizations, and gathering volunteers to help make it all come together.

There are still ways to be involved, even from home, during these covid times.
