Dear Sri Sampath,
Amazing, isn't he?
Thanks for sharing.
We are humbled by the dedication and devout of such kaimkaryaparars.
Hope addiyEn gets at least an iota of such attitude of
nirmamathvam.. [Not "I" and mine" attitude and serving purely for
His pleasure
Great thought on ekAdasi day [for me] on Monday morning
Regards
Namo Narayana
