Premium Member Mother Teresa

Mary Teresa of Albania became Mother Teresa of Calcutta,
Overcoming many ups and downs on the pious path she set.
Tormented by the agony of the poor and the destitute
Home she brought them to where they should be as she
Experienced the divinity of call of compassion from within,
Resonating as the voice of God in the dark night of the sick.

The benevolent soul got beatified and she was canonized,
Ever caring mother entered the holy sanctum of sainthood, 
Raising her passion for human service to heaven for fortitude,
Emerged in Missionaries of Charity as joy fountain for the needy.
Singular lone journey she began decades ago from her heart
Absorbs still the tears of the indigent although she is gone.

Premium Member Humbly Untouched

Humility is a trait to be sought
for it's a real prized jewel
very few can claim to have it
it's not found by any set rule

When you know you are nothing
you're out of reach of any touch
whether it be praise of any kind
no disgrace is ever too much

The reason for this fact is
you know what you are
being truly humble is being zero
never wanting to be a star

But so few reach this state
Mother Teresa is one of the few
one who put others before her
resisting praise no matter how due

To live and be humbly untouched
O to know this would be surreal
but then knowing would show it false
for the humble never recognise it but kneel


(Some thoughts on a quote from Mother Teresa.
' If you are humble, nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace because you know what you are'.)

Mother Teresa and I

Mother Teresa
She is the mother of every poor people, injured people, ordinary people...

Always we remember the great news
'Mother Teresa will get the Nobel Peace Prize.'
It was one of the best moment in our life...

She lived in our city Kolkata (Calcutta) .
She ate our Bengali foods.
She loved us so much...

One day, I was twelve years old
I met  her at Mother House along with my parents.
I looked at her heavenly eyes.
I touched her sacred feet and hands.
I heard her divine speeches.
I love her innocent smile.

I told her only the sentences, 
'You are the mother of the world, 
Mother of my parents.
So you are my grandmother.'

My father hesitated. My mother was silent.

Mother Teresa said to me with smile, 
'GOD BLESS YOU MY SON'

Today my eyes are full of tears
Mother, I miss you. 
I love you so much....

(Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, which in 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters and is active in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; dispensaries and mobile clinics; children's and family counselling programmes; orphanages; and schools. Members of the institute must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, and the fourth vow, to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor".

Mother Teresa was the recipient of numerous honours including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. In 2003, she was beatified as "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta". A second miracle credited to her intercession is required before she can be recognised as a saint by the Catholic Church.)

Premium Member Mother Teresa's Song

"Be happy in the moment, a moment
is all we need"...Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa's song has been sung, thus:
she was an angel who dwelt among us
Ego discarded, midst poverty lived
In giving herself, inspired all to give

The world awaits us to join her soft song
In lonely world, helping others along
treasuring moments as they quickly flee
Being grateful for days we can't yet see

Hard to process moments of wasted time,
yet ponder lengthily moments sublime.
Would we could sample each forgotten day
But, like sunbeams, they drift softly away

Will we learn from Mother Teresa's grace
to reach out and become a Human Race
In our brief moments before they are past
can we find unity and love at last

Mother Teresa

This morning the calling bell rang just at
Five, I thought it was the paper vendor
Sun was yet to spread its golden impact
His time was at six, who was the caller

A soft violin tune of sweet ghazal
Sweetened the small space I was seated in
From my room the clouds looked like cathedral
The air outside seemed scented and serene

Opening the door I was mesmerized
Cross on her shoulder and rosary bead
Clad in blue bordered sari looking bright
Feet in sandals, arm carrying a kid

With fond gaze and fervour her eyes agleam
She was mother Teresa in my dream

Are Socialists Human Beings

Are socialists human beings?
Do they need food?
Are they capable of goodness?
Do they deserve to be tortured, starved, abandoned, beaten?
What makes a socialist cry?
It isn't sad movies -- or is it?

Why should I stop hating them?
I have the right to punish them, do I not?
Or do I?

When Mother Teresa found a Communist, starving, abandoned, beaten, she fed him, loved him, made him feel the hands of Christ, touching him through her hands.

When the SS found a Communist, they shot him, tortured him, starved him, gassed him

When the Communists found a Jew, they tortured him, starved him, took his property, made certain he was strung up as an example, that people do not have the right to own their own property.

When Gandhi found that Hindus were murdering Muslims and Muslims were murdering Hindus, he fasted publicly until they stopped.

Whose example do you prefer?
Mother Teresa's, or Stalin's
That of Gandhi, or the SS?
That of Christ?

I have the right to shoot every Democrat who angers me -- or DO I?

I have the right to impeach every Republican for being Republican, to loot his store, to force him to perform abortions, to punish him...

Somewhere in Africa, a father drove nails through the knees of his teenage son
For converting to Christianity.

I am hatred.
I am anger.
I am violence.

Whose example do you prefer?
Christ's?

Or mine?

This is where we save ourselves,
Or destroy ourselves.

'Let Brotherhood, Peace and Progress become landmarks of attainment', it has been written.

Well?

Which do we prefer?

It's a question to ask yourself every day.
When I win, I make the whole world bleed,
And I LAUGH!

Not such a nice fellow am I.

Premium Member To Be Close To Him

Feeling pulled muscles :(
Some elderly always ache! 
Now I feel their pain :(

It hurts to get up
To sit, stand, walk, bend, or move
How long will this last

Venting though this poem
Helps me cope with everything
I don't mean to whine

Still, I can do stuff
My chores, reading, writing, Prayer
Cook, meditate, smile

I sure hope and pray
My aches and pains will leave me
Praying for healing

I'm resting, stretching
Doing easy exercise
I'm hanging in there

It's nothing! Compared --
-- to His hanging on the Cross!
Extreme aches and pains :(

Sharing Suffering
Is an opportunity
To be close to Him

Close enough to kiss
--As Mother Teresa said--
A Kiss from the Cross 

This just in: Update
I'm better (thanks be to God)
Full recovery! :)

"You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and You lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. (Psalms 139:1-6. NIV)

Hidden quote by Mother Teresa

~~~

The pathless path, our mind knows NOT
Yet heart knows, what we ALL forgot
Trust in God, let go OF desire
Exiting thought, ego begot

Each of US for truth, does aspire
But we CAN DO naught, for we tire
So let’s be still and surrender
God’s GREAT grace, will take us higher

THINGS we seek, pulls us down under
BUT WE CAN, if we choose, ponder
That that comes and goes, illusion
DO still mind, in childlike wonder 

SMALL THINGS, big things, our delusion
WITH the divine, let’s choose fusion
God’s GREAT LOVE, we may feel here now
All souls one, with no exclusion

USPS 2010 : Mother Teresa 100 Anniversary


Overcoming many ups and downs, 
pacing the pious path God paved for her,
Mary Teresa born in Albania 
became Mother Teresa in Calcutta.

Tormented by the agony of the destitute
she brought them to her home, 
to where she felt they should be, 
for everybody in her eyes is born equal.

She heard dedicated the divine call 
of compassion resonate within,
reverberating as the voice of the Lord 
in the dark nights of the sick.  

The benevolent soul got beatified 
and she was canonized in due time.
The ever caring mother entered 
the holy sanctum of sainthood. 

Raising her passion for the human service 
to the ethereal heights of fortitude,
she emerged in the Missionaries of Charity 
as the fountain of joy for the needy. 

The citadel of empathy she created 
decades ago with the bits of her heart,        
abandons even now the tears of the indigent, 
although she has gone to her heavenly abode.

Rajaram Ramachandran, You Will Be Missed Forever

RAJARAM RAMACHANDRAN, YOU WILL BE MISSED FOREVER

You’ve left a legacy, a treasure to cherish,
The words of wisdom, the priceless pearls,
Each letter embedded with love and care,
For all the fellow beings, the loving souls!

Spreading cheer abound, filling hearts with joy,
The depth of the ocean delving deep in purity, wisdom,
A seeker of truth, a philosopher, a thinker,
The highest realms of the consciousness, pinnacles reached!


The scriptures enlivened, the epics mastered,
The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, The Holy Bible, The Krishna Leela,
Blessings showered from the Divine, the Grace,
Offering the poetry at the Lotus feet of the Lord!

The greatest humans, the purest souls,
Revered, honoured in your words galore,
Gautama Buddha, Harichandra, Adi Sankara, Saint Thyagaraja,
Swami Vivekananda, Mother Teresa, Saint Bernadette Sobirous!

A master of letters with expertise, finesse,
A devotee of Krishna, the mellifluous tunes that you sung,
From the depth of your heart, from the core of your soul,
Shedding off all darkness, dissipating ignorance!

You taught me to live the life to the fullest,
With the brightest smiles sparkling on the way,
The life lessons learnt, the messages spread,
The guidance, the compassion illuminating all!

As a shimmering candle, your aura shines,
A sudden bliss, a gleaming hope,
A modest, humble self-effacing guide,
Enlightening the path, unfurling tranquil peace!

My heart refutes, the mind repels,
The cruel death snatches the mortal being,
Your memories I treasure to reminisce and cherish,
Your words my companion in the journey of life!
