The power of love – a reading by Satish Kumar
(Films For Action) We prioritise our work, our families and our friends but how often do we put love at the top of our list? Love is the nourishment that feeds all aspects of our lives but sometimes we neglect it. As a result we can feel isolated, lonely and dissatisfied with our lives.
The power of love
Take time and space to consider the importance of love in our lives. True love takes courage and means letting go of fear but how do we cultivate this? Before we can love others we need to love ourselves but how is this possible?
Satish Kumar
Satish is a former monk and long-term peace and environment activist. He has been quietly setting the Global Agenda for change for over 50 years. He was just nine when he left his family home to join the wandering Jains and 18 when he decided he could achieve more back in the world, campaigning for land reform in India and working to turn Gandhi’s vision of a renewed India and a peaceful world into reality.
In 1973 Satish settled in the United Kingdom taking up the post of editor of Resurgence magazine, a position he has held ever since, making him the UK’s longest-serving editor of the same magazine. During this time, he has been the guiding spirit behind a number of now internationally respected ecological and educational ventures including Schumacher College. Satish has authored numerous books including No Destination: Autobiography of a Pilgrim, Soul, Soil, Society: a new trinity for our time and most recently Elegant Simplicity: The Art Of Living Well.
