Description
At the age of nine, Satish Kumar renounced the world and became a wandering Jain monk. Leaving the monkhood when 18, he joined Vinoba Bhave's campaign for land reform, working to turn Gandhi's vision of a renewed India and a peaceful world into reality. He undertook an 8000-mile peace pilgrimage, walking from India to America without any money, through deserts, mountains, storms and snow. Since 1973 he has lived in Britain, taking on the editorship of "Resurgence" magazine, and becoming the guiding light behind a number of ecological, spiritual and educational ventures. Written with simplicity, this is an account of an extraordinary life.
