Kumar, Satish - Consciousness Civilization - 09.06.25

“No Destination” Spiritual Ecology; becoming an Earth pilgrim; vegetarianism as a means to live non-violently; the small is beautiful movement.

Satish Kumar is one of the few people in the world who fully embraces the principles of Mahatma Gandhi to promote a spirituality opposed to war & ecological destruction. Influenced by Bertrand Russell’s anti-nuclear war philosophy, Satish undertook an 8,000 mile peace pilgrimage, walking penniless from India to America to deliver “packets of peace tea” to the heads of government of the four nuclear powers: the Soviet Union, France, the UK and the US. He is the editor of the prestigious magazine Resurgence, which highlights many of our world’s greatest thinkers & visionaries. Influenced by the “small is beautiful” movement of Schumacher, he has founded pioneering schools & colleges that introduce ecological sanity & spiritual values into their curricula and continues to lecture internationally on reverential ecology, holistic education & voluntary simplicity. His autobiography is “No Destination”
