- [Seeds of Life, Seeds of Hope: Spring Celebrations in Amritapuri](https://ammasites.org/hello-world-4/): Key Points It was a sacred day to express gratitude and reverence to all beings in creation—from the microscopic organisms that are essential for our Earth’s soil to the massive Sun who sustains our lives from 150 million kilometres away. The arrival of Spring was celebrated in Amritapuri with Vishu Thaineetham, a project Amma began in 2015 to lead the planting of indigenous plants and trees.

Only then will humanity’s progress become complete.” Why it Matters Rural development isn’t charity. It’s justice.
