  just watched this and found it both spiritually uplifting, and moving in a way i didn’t realise i could be moved (if that makes any sense)
  the photography was amazing and satish kumar’s take on life on the moor is so refreshing in this age of taking things for granted, that it has made me think about what’s around me when i’m walking up there.
  i loved it ……….great prog

  Practising what you preach is not the easiest thing to do but Satish Kumar does it with spiritual ease.Our walks on Dartmoor will certainly mean a great deal more and looked at with very different eyes.Absolutely
  brilliant programme

  Just watched satish kumar’s program. Brilliant. I’ve moved to Dartmoor in Aug 2007 and everyday i am so gratefull that lifes path bought me hear. I have travelled many countries of the world and Devon is Absoulutly beautiful. I did especially like the spiritual side of the program. There needs to be more of these rather than the crap that where feed on the news and soaps.
  Lets take a leaf out of Satish kumars book and try and be more loving to one another and all living creatures and the earth….its our only home!!!!!

  Unlike my other Neature programmes which are apparently made to help endangered species so animals are caught and have collars and rings and all sorts of devices because some scientists think that’s the way to save Nature, Satish Kumar’s progam was about being one with Nature. As he quoted “live and let live”.

  I stumbled on this beautiful programme by accident. If only this sort of opportunity to observe a life of fulfilment that has so obviously brought happiness, was a more regular item so that our young people could at least see the alternative to what appears to be a diet of violence and trashy life-styles that most of the daily TV fare offers up. An overwhelming feeling of the peace and beauty of the moor as experienced by this man could not help but leave an indelible impression of this other world that is around us if only we take the time to look and see it.

  Does anyone know the location for the roosting starlings shown in the film?

  I searched on Google to find out where I can see starlings roosting on Dartmoor, and this page came up.

  I saw Satish Kumar at the Wharf in Tavistock last week, what a wonderful man!

  I’ve also wondered each time I’ve seen Earth Pilgrim where the starlings were filmed - does anyone know? Should have asked Satish last week but forgot!
