You Are, Therefore I Am traces the spiritual journey of Satish Kumar - child monk, peace pilgrim, ecological activist and educator. He shares with us the sources of inspiration which formed his understanding of the world, starting with his mother, his teacher and his Guru and moving on to his encounters with Vinoba Bhave, J Krishnamurti, Bertrand Russell, Martin Luther King, and E F Schumacher. He then outlines his world-view, encapsulated in a fundamental Sanskrit dictum, So Hum, well known in India but not in the West, which can be translated as 'You are, therefore I am.'
