Synopsis
Written with magical elegance, Path Without Destination is the exhilarating account of Satish Kumar's extraordinary life. At nine, Satish renounced the world, left his home in rural India, and joined a wandering brotherhood of beggar monks until an inner voice guided him to Gandhi's vision of a peaceful world. Spurred to action, Satish undertook an eight-thousand-mile peace pilgrimage -- walking from India to America through deserts, mountains, storms, and floods.
His inspiring journey led him to settle in England where he became one of the leaders with E. F. Schumacher of the "small is beautiful" movement, and became the guiding spirit behind a number of ecological, spiritual, and educational ventures. His is a call to each of us to embrace human scale, strong communities, and ecological awareness.
