Meet Your Instructors

Karen Powers

Northwest Washington professional gardener, Tulasi instructor

Aum Namah Shivaya

Much of my life has been spent loving and caring for plants. On our small farm in the Northwest my husband and I were fortunate enough to make a living growing organic vegetables for many years. After meeting Amma I began growing and learning about Tulasi. For many years I have been fortunate to be able to annually contribute hundreds of Tulasi saplings for Amma’s programs in North America. Growing Tulasi has had a profound effect on my life like no other plant. I am so excited to be able to share what I have learned with you!

Sarvaga

Founding GreenFriends member, Tulasi Instructor

My journey with Tulasi began over 18 years ago when Amma gave me a large packet of Tulasi seeds and asked me to plant the first Tulasi garden in Amritapuri. I have had the opportunity to garden, grow Tulasi, and help teach others by coordinating the Greenfriends program on Amma’s international tours ever since.

Amma’s direct guidance and the many years of working with this sacred and healing plant has been an immense blessing and Grace in my life. I feel so honored to share some of what I have learned with all of you.

Connect to your roots!

Participate in developing love for Nature through the ancient and devotional practice of growing Tulasi!
