You would remember the famous story of Shravan Kumar from Ramayan who was the duty-bound son of his blind parents. As he could not afford the transport, Shravan Kumar put each parent in a basket and tied each basket to the end of a bamboo pole. He carried his parents on his shoulder while on their pilgrimage. Sadly, he was killed by King Dasharath who was the father of Lord Ram.
A clip has been going viral which shows a man carrying his old parents on his shoulders during the Kanwar Yatra. Netizens remembered Shravan Kumar.
The clip was posted by IPS officer Ashok Kumar. “Nowadays, old parents are despised, they are thrown out of the house or not allowed to live with their children. Whereas, today the opposite view was seen. There is a Shravan Kumar among lakhs of Shiva devotees who has come on a Kanwar Yatra with his elderly parents in a palanquin. My respects", he wrote in the caption.
