At 85 years old Jain philosopher and activist Satish Kumar continues his lifetime's quest of speaking, writing and activism for global peace and ecology. He founded Schumacher College in England for ecological study, and still contributes to Resurgence and Ecologist magazine.
This year he published an updated memoir of his 1962 walk from India to Washington DC via Moscow, Paris and London, Pilgrimage for Peace: the Long Walk from India to Washington, a journey from the tomb of Mahatma Ghandi in Old Delhi to the grave of John F. Kennedy at Arlington Cemetery.
Life is a journey. I want to travel through life as a pilgrim.
-Satish Kumar
