Vikas said that his parents had expressed their desire for Kanwar Yatra, but they cannot walk long distances on foot due to health constraints, so he made up his mind and decided to make his parents travel this way. A staunch Shiva devotee, Vikas said that he feels good that he is able to fulfil the wishes of his parents and that Bhole Nath's blessings are with them.

Meerut: 24-year-old Vikas Kumar, a resident of Ghaziabad, was praised as Kalyug's Shravan Kumar as he carried his parents on his shoulders in a palanquin to the holy shrine in Haridwar. He has even blindfolded his parents so that they would not get upset seeing his difficulty.

The video of him carrying his parents on his shoulders was shared by IPS officer Ashok Kumar, who tweeted, "Nowadays old parents are despised, they are either thrown out of the house or children do not prefer to live with them. Whereas today, we saw the exact opposite. Among lakhs of Shiva devotees, there is also a Shravan Kumar who has come on the Kanwar yatra with his elderly parents in a palanquin. My respects!"

  • जहां आजकल बूढ़े मां-बाप का तिरस्कार होता है, उन्हें घर से निकाल दिया जाता है या अपने साथ रहने नहीं दिया जाता.. वहीं आज इसका विपरीत दृश्य देखने को मिला..

    लाखों शिवभक्तों के बीच एक श्रवण कुमार भी है जो पालकी में अपने बुज़ुर्ग माता-पिता को लेकर कांवड़ यात्रा पर आया है..

    मेरा नमन! pic.twitter.com/phG1h3pfg1
