Seeds of Change

Although somewhat simple in appearance, these bags are the product of collectively eighty hours of passionate finding, folding, lifting, mixing, filling, planning, transporting and most importantly, Divine Grace. The process began on August 19, 2008 when eighteen individuals, aged 18-30, set out on an ecological mission: to introduce organic farming techniques to schoolchildren and in doing so, help mitigate the detrimental effects of global warming.

Really great to be a part
29 Sep 2008, Amritapuri This year for AMMA’s Birthday we, the students organized a stall for collecting funds towards Bihar flood relief. It was a really wonderful experience. We had to do everything from making the stalls to going around and selling things. We organized four stalls one had food items, one had tea, coffee lime juice, one with garments and one with handicraft products. It was a very good experience for us. We really felt good. Above all we really enjoyed it. It was really great to be a part of the celebrations. – Abhilash

Holy Mother, I bow to you with thanks that flow through all time…. My heart is the momentary flower You made honey from. My heart is the baby You held in your arms and rocked. My heart is yours, beloved Mother, the child of your breath, the scent of your love. To You I gurgle bright sweet syllables rising from creation’s innermost chord. To You I bow again and again. You opened my heart and filled it with truth. You led me along beauty’s dazzling path. Take me with you forever, oh dearest Mother, never leave me alone. —Naveena Janine…
