Heart & Soul: Blind masseur is role model in overcoming hardships

Yugeswaran Ramachandran is a blind reflexologist in Kuala Sawah, a small town in Negri Sembilan.

Last year, I came across a random video of a handicapped man seeking help. Something moved me. He was actually pleading, “Help me by allowing me to do service for you”. He was a blind reflexologist in Kuala Sawah, a small town in Negri Sembilan.

I was impressed that he was not begging. I wondered how to help him. So, I ruminated on a win-win: to use his services and to utilise his indomitable spirit to create awareness about the handicapped and their determination to succeed, among the members in my Sai Baba centre in Seremban. Maybe his presence would inspire and touch something deeply human in each of us, besides enabling him to earn that little extra.
