New Delhi: India is a country of great souls. Here, people
continue to redefine definition of 'human
service'. Unfortunately, government and media more often overlook real heroes.
We heard about Harshwardhana, Mahabali and
Harischandra. These characters lie in history books and rarely we find such
examples in today's self-oriented life. But in South India, a simple looking
man named Kalyanasundaram rejuvenated the history and made a great example of
honorary works.
USA recently awarded
Kalyanasundaram as ‘Man of the Millennium’. Kalyanasundaram had been working as
a librarian for 30 years.
Every month in his 30-year-long
service, he donated his entire salary to help the needy. He worked as a server
in a hotel to meet his needs. He donated even his pension amount of about ten
lakh rupees to the needy.
He is the first person in the world to spend
the entire earnings for a social cause. He received a sum of Rs 30 crores by
USA government as part of this award which he distributed entirely for the
needy as usual.
Moved by his passion to help
others, Super Star Rajnikanth adopted him as his father. He still stays as a
bachelor and dedicated his entire life for serving the society.
This is Painful to see this
unsung hero is continue to serve the Nation silently but his deeds are not
recognised by Indian Authorities or Media.
