Gods Own Messenger-Narayanan Krishnan

Narayanan Krishnan –the name would sound Alien to many people in the Metros who go through their daily grind like a ROBOT fighting for morsels of Cash, fame and fortune.
Making and Raking in the moolah is the motto. We have Scores of Engineering Colleges and B-Schools churning out techies and MBA’s who study or rather lap up subjects rarely deviating from the rationally accepted scientific principles and mugging time tested mundane formulas.
Narayanan Krishnan brash and young but a bright student completed his hotel management and on the verge of a lucrative Career had landed a job in Switzerland and scheduled to fly in a week.
Fate willed otherwise. While visiting a temple along with his mother he came across a gruesome and disgusting sight of a mentally deranged man consuming faeces.
Taken aback and repulsed by the sight, Narayanan immediately left the place and prepared a wholesome nutritious meal of hot sumptuous idlis and fed /bathed the person who scarcely said a word but the stream of tears waltzing down his face said it all.
The young Krishnan chucked up his Coveted and famed trip to Switzerland and instead planned to serve the ill, impoverished and starving People on the streets of Madurai.
The Parents who were drooling over their son’s achievement only a day earlier were stunned to hear the news but reluctantly gave in to his new found commitment and passion.
The news spread like wild fire amongst his friends and relatives who pitched in with finance for his new Venture.
In the initial stages it was very difficult as the income -from donations barely met the spiralling costs /expenditure. A philanthropist donated a Van to carry the food to various destinations in the city.
It was a herculean task as the Young lad used all his energy, finance and wit in accomplishing this.
The ancestral house bequeathed to him by his grandfather was also hypothecated to raise finance for this endeavour leaving him potentially bankrupt.
Donations from like- minded people though continued to pour and with help from close acquaintances kept him going. A trust was formed -aptly named Akshaya just like the mythological Akshay Patra which churned out food and did not go empty even after satisfying infinite number of hungry people.
This trust is managed efficiently and professionally, upto date accounts are maintained, tax returns with annual audited balance sheets are clearly mentioned on its web site with the means of procuring the finance and utilisation of the same. In short, there is total administration/fiscal transparency for people who are sceptical to donate as there are several unscrupulous people who misappropriate funds in the name of charity.
The Passion to serve the scores of hungry people with eyes craving for food, the determination to overcome the financial aspects ,the odd rude comments from the people did not deter Krishnan from continuing with his noble task of Caring for the People on the Streets and giving them a life of dignity.
The likes of Narayan Krishnan Whom I see as messengers of GOD and have been sent on a mission to eradicate or rather emancipate the sufferings of the countless number of poor, the hungry and the impoverished lot of the society.
Let us admit we Indians lag behind the western countries in philanthropic purposes.
We need to be coaxed, prodded, nudged and in some cases even coerced to donate to worthy causes which is disgusting.
There is a need of paying back to the Society (however miniscule the percentage may be) what we have earned in our lifetimes. There is a need that the Cash -flow filters down from the ‘Haves’ to the ‘Havenots’.
