    • V knize Půda, duše, společnost předkládá mírový a ekologický myslitel Satiš Kumár čtenářům trojici pilířů, na kterých stojí udržitelná budoucnost nás všech: životní prostředí, osobní harmonie a morální hodnoty.Satiš Kumár objasňuje Západu východní moudrost. V zásadě říká, že péče o životní prostředí (půda), snaha o osobní harmonii (duše) a prosazování lidských hodnot (společnost) představují tři nezbytné morální pilíře naší doby. Kniha Půda, duše, společnost dokládá, že celostní přístup k životu vychází ze starobylé filozofie indických tradic hinduismu, buddhismu a džinismu, které pro nás oživili Mahátma Gándhí a Rabíndranáth Thákur. Jejich myšlenky následně přenesl na Západ E. F. Schumacher ve své knize Malé je milé.Abychom se zasadili o novou udržitelnou budoucnost, musíme provést reformu vzdělávání. Podstata této transformace by pak měla spočívat v tom, že opustíme starou základní trojici „čtení, psaní a počítání“ a budeme se soustředit na novou trojici „hlava, srdce a ruce“. Půda, duše, společnost je praktickým návodem na to, jak vytvořit prostor pro radikální a přitom laskavou proměnu našeho myšlení i způsobu života.

    • Kniha Krása jednoduchosti představuje ucelenou životní filozofii, která v sobě spojuje prostotu hmotného života, myšlení i duše. Satiš Kumár přetavil padesát let rozjímání a moudrosti v příručku pro každého, která zahrnuje: - ekologické a duchovní principy prostého žití - odhazování nepotřebných „krámů“ i psychologické zátěže - otevírání mysli a srdce vůči hluboké hodnotě vztahů - přijímání jednoduchosti ve všech ohledech života - sloučení vědy a spirituality v jeden celistvý světonázor

      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.
