One of the most interesting meetings
with family I had on my recent Hyderabad trip was with my father’s brother
My uncle is the second child
in the family of four the oldest brother having passed away in 2000, my father being
third, and a sister being the fourth.
He originally studied
accounting and completed an MBA and then worked for the Indian government as a financial
officer. However, in his early 30’s, he
had a religious awakening and resigned from his job joining a Hindu social
welfare group
He lived very simply and
devoted his life to meditation and charitable acts. Now at 82 he still gets around by motorized
rickshaw and lives in an old age ashram.
A truly remarkable person. Priorities are personal but those who commit
themselves to something greater that helps humanity deserve admiration.
