This initiative, in collaboration with AYUDH, the Mata Amritanandamayi Math’s global youth wing, aspires to disperse one million seedballs in fragile ecosystems worldwide. Volunteers from various centers of Mata Amritanandamayi Math across India and in Asia, Europe, South America, North America, Australia, and Africa will unite to inspire people to contribute to this noble cause.
