We only have one earth to live on, one mother nature to shelter us and one chance to look after our natural world.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba summarises this in clear and simple terms:
“The entire creation is the expression of the will power of God. Nature is a manifestation of the supreme divine. Man is born to manifest and reflect divinity. All constituents of nature reflect their inherent qualities.” – Sri Sathya Sai Baba (Divine Discourse, 19 July 1997).
Planting trees of love
Sri Sathya Sai Prema Tharu is a global tree planting gift to the world with the goal to plant 10 million trees worldwide by 23 November 2025.
Within the UK, the Sri Sathya Organisation has embraced this gift with great enthusiasm and energy. Sri Sathya Sai Prema Tharu planting is happening all over the country by individuals of all ages and backgrounds including those who are not keen gardeners.
Sai Centres, Groups, regions and national teams.have all been busy helping new trees take root across the country as we keep our attention on the global 10 million trees goal. The experience is uplifting and momentous as you can see in the photos
Beyond the UK, when hundreds of adults, young adults and children went on the “Journey to Sai” pilgrimage to Prashanti Nilayam in 2023, 265 mango trees were donated. Mango trees are especially prized as they are integral to a circular mindset. The mango tree provides shade, the mango fruit from the tree can be eaten and the mango stones can go back in the soil for more trees.
Other acts of kindness to the environment are also done in short, sharp bursts such as clean ups and litter picking in local towns, parks, streets and beaches.
