<p>During the 1960s, Satish Kumar and a companion made a two and<br />
a half year walk for peace from his home country of India through<br />
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, the Soviet Union, Poland, East and<br />
West Germany, Belgium, France, England, and America. They car-<br />
ried no money on this 8000 mile walk, depending totally on the<br />
hospitality and goodwill of the people of each country. The story<br />
of this marathon walk is told in his book, No Destination. Satish<br />
was offered an award from the Soviet Union for the book, but he<br />
declined it, saying that Russia must first release dissident writers<br />
who are imprisoned.<br />
Satish entered into the religious life as a 9-year-old boy when he<br />
became a monk in the Jain religion. This is a religion in India<br />
famous for its respect and total dedication to uphold and protect<br />
all sentient life from pain. By the time he was 18 years old, he had<br />
decided to combine spiritual practices with social action; he left<br />
the monkhood and joined the Gandhian movement under Vinoba<br />
Bhave.<br />
Satish joined Vinoba in persuading landlords to donate land to<br />
the landless--the aim of which was to establish a peaceful economic<br />
revolution. After some time, Vinoba encouraged Satish and his<br />
friend to make the long walk for peace.<br />
In 1968 Satish was invited to England by Christian Aid to estab-<br />
lish and direct the London School of Non-Violence. He taught<br />
courses in non-violent action, sustainable economics and develop-<br />
ment in the Third World. During this period he became a close<br />
friend of Dr E. F. Schumacher, a founding father of the Green<br />
