An Invitation to Change

Aum Amriteswaryai Namah!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Please carefully read the following message:

This summer during the Boston retreat, 20 of Amma's AYUDH children planted 2 sugar maple trees and 8 blueberry bushes. The significance behind this is quite vast, given the amount of attention Amma lavished on Her children. Not only was Amma completely supportive before the planting, afterwards Amma spend a long time watching a video of the planting, pausing it in order to continue giving darshan. Amma made two comments that night, the first was "It is so nice to see that Amma's children have made a place in their heart to love Nature" This was followed by Amma's instruction that "You should all think to yourselves, 'In this life I have taken so much from the world, what can I do to give back to the world?'" Amma wrapped up her discussion with us by feeding chocolate prasad.

AYUDH Americas would like to now invite everyone, across the continent, to become as active as possible in the many opportunities available to give back - to make a change. If you cannot plant a tree or bush, you can at least show some love and affection towards nature, by talking, singing and interacting with nature, or simply by picking up some litter.

One of AYUDH.Americas' prime objectives is to provide easy and simple activities in which Amma's youth can participate in seva and having fun. We are currently in the process of establishing chapters nationwide. In order to facilitate this we are asking that everyone who is interested in participating in AYUDH to write an email to GiladGressel@gmail.com

The text body should be something like "My name is X. I am X years old. I live in X. I am very
intersted in X" From that point we can start connecting the local groups.

Aum Amriteswaryai Namah
