Great Doctors Around us

ನಾ ರಾ ಯ ಣ   ಮೂ ರ್ತಿ  Narayana Murthy , no, we are not talking about our well known IT chief  from Benagluru, but this less known person from the same state, Karnataka, India, excels in helping thousands of patients ailing from different disease, from kidney stones to heart diseases to different kinds of cancers. Popularly known as Vaidya Narayana Murthy , around 60 years of age, is from a small village called Narasipura which is around 50 km from Shimoga, Karnataka, India. He is also known as battru in the area. Murthy, basically a brahmin farmer, carries the age-old tradition of Ayruvedic treatment with the help of some NGOs. Every Sundays and Thursdays people from various parts of Southern India start to queue up in front of his house early in the morning. With the help from his family and aides, Murthy serves his patients. On these days, he treats around 600 to 700 patients troubled by different diseases.
