Narayanan Krishnan was a bright, young, award-winning chef with a five-star hotel group, short-listed for an elite job in Switzerland. But a quick family visit home before heading to Europe changed everything. “I saw a very old man eating his own human waste for food,” Krishnan said. “It really hurt me so much. I was literally shocked for a second. After that, I started feeding that man and decided this is what I should do the rest of my lifetime.” Krishnan now brings hot meals and dignity to India’s homeless and destitute 365 days per year. Since 2002 his nonprofit Akshaya Trust has served more than 1.2 million meals. This two-minute video is worth watching.
