Tamil Nadu
The good work done by Krishnan of Akshaya Trust in the city is by now well known. Besides feeding over 100 wandering lunatics three times a day, Mr. Krishnan is also involved in getting them rehabilitated in a meaningful way. He gives a hair-cut and a shave for the unfortunate human beings left to rot on Madurai streets by their relatives. Mr. Krishnan spent about four months in a hair-cutting salon. But what is amazing about this youth who cooks and feeds homely food for the mentally disabled persons on the streets with a missionary zeal is his ability to cure a person of his illness without any medical treatment. It was "kattipudi vaithyam" he saw in a popular Tamil movie that prompted him to help a resident of Melur come out of depression and schizophrenia.The cured person is now a committed volunteer in the `annadhanam mission.' Mr. Krishnan's narration of his experience with those who get his daily supply of food at a meeting of the Madurai Readers' Club on Sunday welled up tears in the eyes of listeners.
