What I Remember Most about Venu by Nachiketa

 

            What I value most from the example of Venu’s athletic life was the encouragement he offered to those with physical limitations, people whose capacity seemed insignificant when compared to his. I remember he would always ask me what I was doing to work out and how my workouts were going. His interest and concern was always very genuine. He used to encourage new disciples, often calling them up and surprising them with his knowledge of their accomplishments. Seeing how he was able to inspire others was an inspiration in itself and a privilege to watch.
