Indian seer donates blood to create awareness

This is a short piece that simply states how a seer in India, named Chandrashekhar Swami, donated blood at a clinic. This doesn't seem to be a very exciting story to American eyes, but I wanted to point out that this is a good thing. To embrace spirituality and live out it's principles is good, and there is certainly a lot we can learn from people practicing indigenous faiths around the world. However, it is also very nice to see a person who will do more than simply blindly follow and encourage others to drop needless superstitions that hurt themselves and others in the long run. In a country with as many health care and poverty issues as India, I'm sure that this may be especially important. I will probably never meet this man, or even see his name in the media again, but I laud his efforts.
