"My message is simple. Take care of your parents. If you don't, your children will also neglect you." --Kailashgiri Brahmachari
A Mother's Pilgrimage
He's walked 3,750 miles for the last eight years and he figures he has another 12 more years left, if he lives that long. Kailashgiri, also known as Swami, is taking an all-India pilgrimage. On his shoulders rests a wooden bar, balancing two baskets -- one with his meagre belongings and the other with his blind mother! Kailashgiri Brahmachari's mother has been blind from birth and he is now fulfilling her wish to visit holy places before she passes away.
