Satish Kumar was the Editor-in-Chief of Resurgence (now with the Ecologist) magazine for 43 years
and was the Founder of Schumacher College in Dartington. At nine years of age, Satish renounced
the world and joined the brotherhood of Jain monks. At the age of eighteen, he left the monastic order
and became a campaigner working to turn Gandhi’s vision of a peaceful world into reality. He
undertook an 8,000 mile peace pilgrimage, walking without any money, to deliver packets of ‘peace
tea’ to the leaders of the four nuclear powers
Satish is the author of five books. His autobiography, No Destination, first published by Green Books
in 1978, has sold over 50,000 copies.
