Sadhguru's Plan to plant 2.42 BILLION trees

Permaculture Instructor Andrew Millison visits the largest reforestation project in the world in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with the Isha Foundation, founded by Sadhguru. Andrew spent 5 days traveling around the Cauvery River watershed looking at the work of the Isha Foundations' Cauvery Calling project, touring farms, nurseries, temples, and talking with Isha's field agents. Andrew then went to Isha's ashram in Tennessee and was able to directly question Sadhguru about the project.

Watching India, with its rich and ancient culture, slowly reclaim its vibrancy and strength brings such joy to my heart. The resilience and beauty of this country, which never deserved the weight of colonization, inspire hope and admiration. India's journey of recovery is a testament to the enduring spirit of its people and the magnificence of its heritage. Here's to a future where India continues to shine brightly, reclaiming its rightful place among the world's most cherished cultures.

India has been improving so much where other countries flatline. I have great hopes that India's progress could inspire (or humiliate) other nations into doing better

[smueller]

I would like to see this in the US. We need real leadership. I have begun planting on my small plot of land, more than 500 plantings so far, still going, not fast enough

[jalbu]

I love the water projects happening all across India, keep going, great work by the people, a shining example for other nations to follow. Watching from Australia 🦘😊

[Debbie-henri]

I love the idea of 'wedding trees.' The perfect reminder of a happy event. If everyone, no matter the country, had been doing this from 50 years ago, when woodlands and forests were already in a stricken state, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

Andrew, the way you document, expose and share ecological work done around the world is amazing. A true credit to you. Also providing free permaculture education via your YouTube channel is a true reflection of the quality of human being you are. Conscientious, Generous, you show a complete lack of lust for profit which is admirable. much respect to you brother.

The point about emotional involvement and spiritual attachment was excellent. It is hard to motivate people to take care of and maintain things, especially with how busy and individualistic the world is today.

Same is happening in Spain, rivers are getting totally dry. Bottle water companies and extensive farming are just drying out everything and no actions are been taken…we are also trying to push a project of permaculture, just to put our grain of sand…Initiatives like this brings me hopes ❤ Nice video ❤

This is simply the best good-news story around, and I don't say that just as someone who is benefiting directly in Pune. What an amazing series this is, Andrew!

[sumanrao]

Isha Foundation's Cauvery Calling is most inspiring. We are fortunate to have Sadhguru amongst us in India. The plan for 13 rivers in different states will be successful too.

[elbruces]

I'm liking this Sadhguru guy. He presents himself like a religious leader, but everything he says makes perfect sense even if you're nonreligious. And perfect sense in general.

[KarthiknSubramanian]

Andrew Anna, Happy to have worked with you while you were in Tamil Nadu. I love your approach to creating content on water management. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos....🙏🥰🙏

[katiel]

I love that there is such a communal effort happening in India. I wish that in the U.S. there were movements like this. It takes everyone working together to have real change. Even on suburban plots it doesn't have to be pristine grass only. We could all be planting native trees and shrubs to benefit wildlife and everyone. We need a big movement to reduce lawn and plant more trees. It is happening but not on the scale it needs to be.

[paulking]

Nothing brings tears of joy like watching these landscape regeneration projects. Bless Sadhguru and all those involved, in my heart I know there is hope for humanities future. Ohm shanti.

[LindaBarron]

I have to appreciate the mindset of this man, he is doing something that probably he is not going to see... planting trees in the next 6 to 8 years to see the results in 15 to 20 years... when you plant a tree, you're planning for the future 💚

As someone who dreams of buying a little house with a garden i can turn into a little permaforest for myself and future family AND who also listens to Sadhguru on the regular since years ago: This was a beautiful and enlightening introduction and explanation of this project!!! Thank you Andrew!! Loved learning and listening about it from multiple perspectives and the people involved. Wonderful! This inspires and gives hope. I hope you can reach more people and specially younger ones that are getting more involved to heal and go forward on this planet.

Inthe way information is presented to us in this age, it is very easy to fall into the doom mentality when we see climate catastrophes almost daily in the news, and fatalistic reports year after year. Your channel is a beacon of light in all the doom and gloom. It actually makes me hopeful about the future of our planet, seeing all the wonderful people and incredible project you put into the light. THANK YOU!!!!

[dorokaiyinvil]

Sadhguru is amazing individual
Thankfully due to technology
I was able to discover him
All the way here in Texas
Its because of people like Sadhguru and Andrew
Ive been able to learn so much in such a short time

[BetterWorldEcosystems]

Planting trees are without a doubt the way to save the world.
