- Satish Kumar is an internationally renowned speaker on ecological and spiritual issues. When he was only nine years old, Satish renounced the world and joined the wandering brotherhood of Jain monks. He left the monastic order and became a campaigner for land reform, working to turn Gandhi's vision of a peaceful world into reality, before undertaking an 8,000 mile peace pilgrimage, walking from India to America without any money, through deserts, mountains, storms and snow.
Since 1973 he has been Editor at Resurgence magazine and his books include No Destination; You Are Therefore I Am; Spiritual Compass; Earth Pilgrim.
Satish teaches, lectures and runs workshops on reverential ecology, holistic education and voluntary simplicity. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorates in Education (2000), Literature (2001) and in 2009 an Honorary Doctorate of Law from the University of Exeter.
Satish has regularly contributed to Radio 4's Thought for the Day and has appeared as a guest on Desert Island Discs. He featured in BBC2's Natural World Series -- Earth Pilgrim: A Spiritual Journey into the Landscape of Dartmoor. Satish is a Vice President at the RSPCA.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
impossible not to get emotional !! wonderful lecture! wonderful human being! eternal gratitude for this wisdom capable of awakening me for who I am! 🙏🏽
A truly wonderful inspired talk by one of the most enlightened speakers in the world today. His words are full of the divine fire and high spirituality of the great sages and teachers like thelate wonderful Indian Sahaja Yoga teacher Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. We need more spiritual teachers like Satish. But as regards this matter Shri Mataji once said "You can be the teacher, you have everything you need to transform yourself and bring about a change in the world". "We are all one" is the message from Satish wonderful!!
Brilliant. Beautiful. Bold. ... xo Kumar ...
Damn!!! I can only press the like button once!!! Out of the world🌍 ❤️
Yes indeed we don't control nature and we're not the superior species...we are a link in the cycle of the interconnectedness of life on this planet and the universe.
Absolutely Beautiful... ♾️✨🌟🌈
This is what education combined with integrity does to a person. Deep respect for Satish Kumar!!
Great, Great and Great ! Thank you Sir
A great gift to society and humanity!
Great man, and he looks like Oogwai from Kung Fu Panda 🐼 so I love him even more
Music to my ears...🎼🎵🎶🎸
he made good points, but its a shame he had to link it with religious fundamentalists like mother teresa, gandhi, dalai lama etc. all those are terrible examples of ideal role models. religion/faith ruins this world.
His decisions killed millions
🙏 very good talk . I am glad I met you in Pune . And learnt to do the walking meditation in mindfulness by none other tha Thich Nahat han . And by the way in india these days some people are using your photo and calling him Achyut Patwardhan .to celebrate freedom fighter day by the govt Even though in the Google and Wikipedia his photo is there as is yours ! I am glad to see you here 💐
Wow. Great.
so true
Extraordinaire! Un homme qui a un coeur bien placé, Satish Kumar! ❤
Great. 🌿 🙏
Considering the time this was published, everything he said in this video is now showing and is evidently true.
Level se respect sir.
Respect you sir..u have touched my heart..I also think in the same way we are nature...and everything around us is connected...we are not alone ..we are not boss we should show nature that we are leaders....all leaders ...we are here in this earth in order to protect this earth not to destroy it... thank you for ur beautiful speech...!!!
Inner and Outer Nature and Gaiasophy principles nicely delivered. Until the Econ-nomic principles mirror the Eco-logic principles, humans may not survive as a species. Lets hope we build critical mass soon and not destroy all of nature. Trilogy thinking is a nice way to attach thought.
so inspiring! thank you Satish what a great man you are!
astonishing
Great philosopher...
Great human being!
Ta
This man is something else. Looking up to you sir lots of respect for you and your words
Satish explains that most societies have a trilogy of ideas. The trilogy I am trying to come to terms with is health, happiness and success.
Lovely talk! A clarification on one small point: the creation of soil by glacial action is minor in comparison to the production of topsoil through the combined action of: plants harvesting solar energy, which are then harvested by animals, and recycled by fungi and microbes. This is a basic principle of permaculture, Holistic Management, and similar systems of agriculture which mimic sustainable natural eco-systems.
Fantastico.
GREAT SPEECH! Powerful, full of spirit, full of wisdom.
A true world leader

Thankyou Satish, as always, your words are spreading a truth and are inspiring.... thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge, hope you are well and happy, best wishes always : )
Great message, but OY, the yelling!
>.<
'care of the earth and care of the soul are two aspects of the same reality"
yes Mz Tree agrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my songs are about taking care of each other, ourselves, and the earth!!
Yes! :D This message can only be understood in its true spirit, when it is fully embodied within us. This means, taking that leap of faith, and walking the walk - to feel Nature merge with our physical body. This is when this message will finally sink in, through each individual who takes the courage to walk barefoot. - I'm starting a barefoot walking revolution, starting with my local community. Mother Nature needs physical action.

very impressive and inspirational speech!! Mr. satish kumar spoke well!!he as in a way truly opened my eyes!
PLANTS created soil, not the other way around. Plants were responsible for a great extinction event when they first dominated the world. They created what we breathe. We must have living healthy plants in great abundance to maintain our atmosphere. Sad that no one sees this.
everybody sees it..... they just dont care
@@akku_31 This is true...sadly, but is what motivates me to get out and "turn on" kids to plants!
@@marianwhit me and you are .00001 percent of the world's population
soil ,soul ,society resembles an agriculturist life style which is now a question mark of life all around the world. In developing country as well as common wealth countries.
Not necessarily. What he means by soil, soul and society is firstly that we are part of Nature, secondly we are self conscious beings, and thirdly our lives are interconnected and intertwined which means we can never speak about ourselves without the other.
Really Great...
bit shouty though
Need of current context.
He speaks with the urgency of things. In a time of loud noise, loud voices are needed. Especially when they speak the truth.
Wow! A beautiful and inspiring talk!

instead of being arrogant&bigoted, thinking you know my identity better than myself, why don't you ask a question that would help you learn new things?
e.g. that jews were among the founders of monotheism but also among the first and foremost founders of atheism. that the jewish religion is a religion associated with the jewish people (who speak the jewish language&practice jewish culture etc.) - the religion is Not the central identity. hence atheist jews is no contradiction. read about it kid.

My attempts to understand what success is were as unsuccessful as defining happiness, until I was introduced to Spiral Dynamics, which says that we can operate on different levels of consciousness, so I would now look at happiness and success as relative to the levels of consciousness your are living in. I hope this makes some sense, and doesn't just look like a way of side-stepping the question.
free trade yes but not if it is responsible for any kind of suffering ie. sweatshops, industrial farming etc etc We have to except that the 'free market' as it now stands aka neoliberalism is catastrophic to the environment and is based upon worldwide inequalities.
Hi my name s
You say religion/faith ruins the world ... what does the star of David represent for you then?
Respectfully,
J
How would you measure success?
by happiness
Wise storybook grandfather. Nothing new about what he says. Nothing new either about this year's apple harvest. Same old stuff. Nutritious and beautiful as ever.
......................you can not fill a cup which is already full. Perhaps you may one day be open to hear or see something more than you already know .
Bless his heart
Brilliant. Thank you x
Whether You like it or not, u R made from the universe, u R the universe.

thanks for your question. i'm an atheist jew. there's been millions like me since 1700s. i'm of the jewish nation, following jewish cultural practices like dialectical method of thinking, like having a festival of liberation, a festival of lights etc., where the religious parts are slightly revised. i speak the main jewish language, & i have ethnic ties which i consider irrelevant.
star of david was originally used by jews simply as decoration, art. religious association for it came much later.
