Guruji has told us to plant as many Lakshmi Taru trees as possible.
The plant has medicinal qualities, it does not need water or good soil, it practically grows in any type of soil available in India.
This year we as AOL family aim to plant 7 lakh Laxmi Taru plants - the same plant which Gurudev and President watered on SJC day.
Due to its multi fold benefits to mankind and mother nature, on Gurudev's 50th birthday a scheme was launched - Rishi Krishi Yojana - under which our BIG family will effect plantation and care of 50lakh saplings in few years' time.
To support this cause, seeds of this plant are available with Sri Sri Agricultural Institute in Bangalore ashram for Rs 200/- per kg.
Interested folks can write to srisriagri@gmail.com for more details.
I have a suggestion - if we have our own garden - small or big, let us cultivate the seeds into saplings and we can give it as a take away gift for all our friends, relatives who have space to plant the trees.
You too can contribute..in creating sapling. write to me if u r interested to help in this project.We will create saplings and then distribute it.
Lets All Contribute to make this project a BIG success and make this world a cleaner and greener place to live in:)
