Unheard Tales of Mother Teresa:
1. Mother Teresa's specialty was that she was born abroad but worked in India. She was a resident of Yugoslavia, but she made India her home.
He got success as a Christian missionary and the service work which he started from India spread to more than a hundred countries of the world.
He continuously served the poor, sick people suffering from terrible suffering for a long time. She was engaged in the work of Missionaries of Charity 24 hours a day. Once it was too late, her assistant nurse asked how long she would work, as the hands of the clock struck 12 in the night.
His answer was, until the sufferings of the poor and the poor are not removed, then we have to keep doing this work and if there are poor and helpless people even among the moon and stars, then we will have to go there and do the work of serving them.
2. When she was going somewhere in the train in 1946, after seeing the sight she realized that her real job was to serve Daridra Narayan and live with him like him.
In 1950, he founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta and started its work. He saw many such sights in Calcutta, seeing which humanity groaned.
In those days, in front of a cinema house in Calcutta, there was a drain heavy with garbage. It was full of leaves, rags, rags and lichens and mud. Pigs and dogs were looking for things to eat in it by slicing it.
Suddenly a few leaves turned and the men standing nearby saw a child waving his arms and legs. They thought of admitting the child to the hospital or orphanage as an abandoned child.
A man had just picked him up when a beggar came running and shouted and said to the man, "How dare you lift my child?"
"Is this your baby?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you put it here in the drain?"
The beggar told that he has a total of one and a half yards of dhoti, if I tear the cloth from it, then my body is naked, which I cannot cover completely before. That's why she was begging by putting the child to sleep in the drain. Initially, when 'Mother' used to work in Calcutta's Lareto School, she would get to see these types of scenes when she used to sit in the school bus and go to her tent.
Once she was going to Darjeeling by car from Lareto's work, she decided to leave Lareto and work for these poor people.
At that time he had only three saris and five rupees to run his business.
4. In Calcutta, where he had seen women, old men and children living in extreme poverty and started work for them, he had also seen the plight of leprosy people lying on the streets.
He explained to them that there are ways to avoid this disease and that taking good care can improve the disease.
He established 'Mahatma Gandhi Leprosy Ashram' in Titagarh. He picked up many such patients with his own hands and took them to this ashram.
He had helped such patients, which in fact the society considered absolutely useless and had thrown them on the garbage.
When he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for such work, he called abortionists 'killers' in his statements.
5. He started his work with only 5 rupees, but even after the expansion of the work and the establishment of more than seven and a half hundred centers in 125 countries, the main place of his work remained a small office in Calcutta, from where he could do his work. used to drive
In these centers of Missionaries of Charity, food was provided for more than five lakh hungry people every day.
Medicines were given to more than 2.5 lakh patients and efforts were made to educate more than 20 thousand children living in slums.
Apart from this, the extent of his service was extended to the sick suffering from AIDS, those who lost their lives due to drug abuse. He also took care of the service of children and people suffering from tuberculosis. The way Mother Teresa expanded her service work and the way she was engaged in service work day and night, many people started doubting that this work would not end anywhere after her.
But he said that this work is for God's sake and dedicated to Him, so there is no fear of its ending.
Wherever she went, the great king-maharaja and the president used to spread spinach and pavda in her honor.
His answer was that I do not ask for anything from anyone, I do not solicit any kind of grant from the governments.
I do not take anything as salary for any kind of service, people give money of their own free will.
Some people also accused her of the fact that she causes conversion of poor people.
His answer was that my only effort is that a Hindu should become a good Hindu.
Mother believed that God is seen in the bread of hungry people. Its visible form is visible in the suffering people living in the slums.
He said that he did not see any difference between the people who died on the road from hunger, disease, mutilation due to accidents and Jesus crucified.
