Mangaluru: Vivekananda H K, 53, advertising filmmaker as part of his ‘Jnana Bhiksha Heryatre,’ walking across Karnataka to revive human values, without rupees in his pocket.
A Bengalurean, he began his journey on November 1 last year, and has covered almost 8,400 km on foot, in 20 districts.
He hopes to cover 4,000 km again in the next four months.
Vivekananda arrived at Mangalore on Monday, and was on Wednesday on Wednesday, interacting with a small group of people.
He told Tii, ‘Technology has taken over our lives’ “I have realized that human values decrease.
Even though technology has taken over our lives, I can see that relationship turns around, and people become narrow minded.
This is an effort I am to see the world around me and spread the message of brotherhood and harmony, by interacting with the same-minded people.
“Originally from Hoskote, Vivekananda has completed postgraduate study in history, and has a diploma in journalism and film production, and is a actor before Explore into making advertising films and television serials.
“My family, including my mother Sharadamma, Prameela’s wife and Son Abhimanyu, who studied in class X, had to manage myself, because I would leave for four months.
Initially it was difficult, but we were used to it.
I was used to the luxury of life, like traveling By car.
Although some challenges, during the trip, it has been satisfying.
Because I have participated in half the marathon, I am sure about my physical fitness.
This is my trip and not one for a note or publicity, “Viveekananda said when he walked with a backpack , bottled water and umbrella.
On average, he covers about 30 km a day.
He met friends and sympathizers with routes, which arranged accommodation, which did not expand more than one night.
“I don’t go to people and tell them that I want to overcome it, only if people are interested that they numb up, and I interact with them,” he said, adding that he was documenting this trip on his Facebook page.
