Written with a penetrating simplicity, No Destination is an exhilarating account of an extraordinary life. When he was only nine years old, Satish Kumar renounced the world and joined the wandering brotherhood of Jain monks. Dissuaded from this path by an inner voice at the age of 18, he became a campaigner for land reform, working to turn Gandhi's vision of a renewed India into reality. Fired by the example of Bertrand Russell, he undertook an 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage, walking from India to America without any money, through mountains, deserts, storms, and snow. It was an adventure during which he was thrown into jail in France, faced a loaded gun in America, and delivered packets of “peace tea” to the leaders of the four nuclear powers. In 1973 he settled in England, taking on the editorship of Resurgence magazine, and becoming the guiding light behind a number of ecological spiritual and educational ventures. Following Indian tradition, in his 50th year he undertook another again without any money, he walked to the holy places of Britain—Glastonbury Lindisfarne and Iona. All of this and more is recounted in this fascinating autobiography.
Emphasizing the beauty of simplicity, Satish Kumar shares his philosophy on leading a life that is both elegant and inspiring. His insights encourage readers to embrace a simpler lifestyle, highlighting the transformative power of minimalism and mindfulness. Through his journey, he offers guidance on how to cultivate a fulfilling existence by focusing on what truly matters.
