Debut Project Amma Sanctuary
 THE
SANCTUARY:
The sanctuary is for retired
cows and oxen that are saved from
slaughterhouses and cared for in large
numbers- in tens of thousands. We call
our aged senior animals- Animal Elders. We
will take care of our AAE with love and
abundance until thier last days.
"What is
virtuous conduct? It is never destroying
life, for killing leads to every other sin.
Of all virtues summed by ancient sages, the
foremost are to share one's food and to
protect all living creatures".
-Tirukkural 33: 321-322, Spiritual Poetry of a Tamil Saint, Siddhar Thiruvalluvar
HUNGER ON PLANET EARTH:
We will develop on a
vast reclaimed land of 1000+ acres, an
organic farm in South India, near the
Pothigai Hills. 50% of the vegetarian farm
produce will be for feeding the needy. We
will feed the hungry intelligent vegetarian
food.
"Great
indeed is the power acquired through
austerity to endure hunger.
But greater still is the power of
those who relieve the hunger of others."
-Tirukkural 23:225, Spiritual Poetry of a Tamil Saint, Siddhar Thiruvalluvar
ECO & EARTH FRIENDLY:
The by products of wastes
from AAE provides us with- clean electricity
generated from the methane of the dung;
substitute for firewood- dry dung sticks
etc.
IMPROVE
HEALTH OF LOCALITY & ALL ON PLANET EARTH:
We will create 'super-manure'
with the dung. With over 10000 AAE we will
be the backbone to organic agriculture that
supports 5000 acres of land. The organic
farming and the produce helps Mother Earth
and the health of a sizeable population.
VEGETARIAN
DIET:
Bring together the wisdom of
an ancient vegetarian society of India and
the modern information and science to grow
'intelligent' vegetarian food.We expect to
have similar sanctuary farms even in
countries like Saudi Arabia and China, with
emphasis on organic agriculture and
intelligent vegetarian produce- let our
vegetarian food spread the message of
compassion through good health and an
alternative life style.
THE
COMMUNITY:
We will have our own YOGA
VILLAGE in Amma Sanctuary as a holistic
living center, 'home' grown food and
ayurvedic/siddha herbs and a yoga retreat
that incorporates the real India of Saddhus.
With all the Light Beings like you coming
together, ours will be a spiritual family
within each sanctuary and an online.
SPIRITUAL CENTER:
Based on the Siddhar
traditions, the theme with the center being
a Temple of Light and surrounded by
Goddesses of all cultures around the world
to represent the collective womb of
humanity. There will be a Spiritual Grove of
sacred trees planted by all the living
saints and Arivens. The living saints whom
we will approach to bless the seeds will be
nominated by Ariven members. Lets start
nominating!
