Satish Kumar has been the editor of Resurgence (now with Ecologist) magazine since 1973. Under his editorship Resurgence has become, according to the Guardian newspaper, “The spiritual and artistic

When he was only nine years old, Satish Kumar renounced the world and joined the wandering brotherhood of Jain monks. At the age of eighteen, he left the monastic order and became a campaigner for land reform, working to turn Gandhi’s vision of a peaceful world into reality.

Satish is the author of five books. His autobiography, No Destination, first published by Green Books in 1978, has sold over 50,000 copies.
