Why RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is wrong about Mother Teresa

Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu(yeah, she ain't a Mother for me) was just a glorified missionary.

I have visited Nirmal Hriday. There they refuse even the most basic painkillers and instead ask the dying to chant the Holy Bible instead. A cruel deranged place of hapless people run by lunatics.

The Hindus in the area must also share the blame. They should have evacuated the needy from the Missionaries and kept them where they can be saved.

she treated people who were desperate for care and were thankful
She never treated people. She converted people on their deathbed. In exchange she gave them a bed to die for. And a Bible.
Was Mother Teresa not so saintly after all? Researchers spark controversy by claiming her care of the sick was 'dubious' and handling of cash 'suspicious' | Daily Mail Online

And she accepted this herself.

These days the anti-Dharmic brigade is on a full swing thanks to that AAP victory in the Delhi election.Their retarded mentality and their hostility towards the Dharmic culture and religion is getting more and more clear by the each passing day:coffee:.
I did my schooling from Ramakrishna Mission and one of my wardens(who happened to be a monk) used to despise her openly because of her shameless ploy to convert the needy and poor populace.He used to say that she was one of the biggest hypocrites in India.Sadly i didn't understand his perception at that time but now it seems that he was absolutely right in his assessment.
No. She was not a hypocrite.
A fraud, a fanatic and a parasite - Yes.

That is stretching it. She did what she did. Thousands died with someone being there to hold their hand. Its no small deed. I can think of worse parasite than her.

I would call it symbiotic, not parasitic.

LOL. I have already explained the notion of selfless service and its clear Mother Teresa had an agenda. She herself admitted as much.

You never explained, you just derailed the topic. First you claim that Ramdev is a selfless servant, then you say that you would not defend him. I mean, why even name him if you can not defend him. You sir just jumped from here and there except explaining. :bounce:

You are the one avoiding my question that expose your prejudice, You have to prove that Mohan Bhagwat was wrong. You are yet to do it. You are inviting ridicule due to your reluctance to answer a rather simple question.

I sir, have not avoided any question, rather you have avoided explaining about selfless service. And by backtracking on your examples you showed how much you can ridicule, let alone debate.

Free unsolicited advice is not appreciated. .......... why not just stick to the topic ?
Why would it be appreciated, if it shows your errors and lack of comprehension and debating skills., would it?:enjoy:



I did. learn to read my previous posts where it has been clearly explained.
You did not, you just gave 2 lame examples, which when busted by me, you backtracked pretty smartly. and you diverted the topic to my knowledge.


Now this is self contradiction. First your say you did not call him wrong, now you admit calling him wrong. He was giving a speech, not arguing in court to provide first-hand proof :lol: ......... Mother Teresa has admitted to her "Mission" which was to convert as many to christianity by her service. Her agenda was self defined, well articulated and know to everybody. What is left to be proved ? That she did not believe Jesus was the ONLY path to salvation ? LOL.
Quote me where i called him wrong on his statement. I called him wrong for the procedure for not providing facts and proof firsthand.:bunny: I did not say he was arguing in any court. I just made that statement what i felt. Now you had to drag the discussion all around. You had to drop in discussion and defend him all the way, and when asked about proof, you give the lame excuse that he was not in court. He clearly was not. And that's why he could say that. And that's why i said he should produce proof for what led him to believe that.

Why did you defend him in the first place if you had to fall back on this kind of logic that he did not needed to produce proof, because he was not in court.


You mean your lack of understanding. It would have had some value, if you had applied what your preached.
Now that's real cute. Now you have fallen to trolling. Who are you to judge my knowledge? Nobody. In absence of better arguements you now started debating about my qualification, which is a clear indicator of your frustration.


Empty claims and Rhetoric's do not substitute for facts. Your prejudice has been clearly marked out and called out. You are free to be prejudiced and act on that prejudice and bigotry and call it your fundamental right. You do have that right. Only you get mocked for your feeble excuses.
Rather it's your prejudice. Nowhere i defended missionaries, or MT, i just wanted a firsthand proof from MB before that statement. And yet you manage to say that i have prejudice. That is hilarious. You can mock me, but not provide a single evidence.

Still after all this discussion you have not quoted me any proof or evidence & you are making claim out of nowhere. And yet you still have guts to call me the one with prejudice. Ironic, that is.

You still have not asnwered me, Are Ramdev and Ravi Shankar self less servant, if yes, then what is criteria.
If you had, quote me.

Really sad to hear about the ranting of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat. He is accusing Mother Teresa of religious conversion!

Mother Teresa took care of those poor people who were discarded even by their families. Elderly people, people with maggot filled sores on their bodies. What would Mother gain by nursing those downtrodden, dying people? To make them Christian?

Hell NO!!!

She did because she said she saw the image of God is such people and thought it to be her duty to take care of them.

Do you even understand how great it feels for a dying person to see someone hugging them and caring them. To die in the arms of such noble soul is equal to attaining "Moksha"

I know very well, these people are so blinded by hatred that they will not understand all of this!

I agree, her zeal to convert can't be explained. Which is why she was a fanatic. Far more than Ashin Wirathu for instance. Or Swami Dayanand Saraswati. She has always admitted that in person, in private and in public. Her own speeches speak volumes. It's in the charter of the MoC as well. This is an open secret. Bhagwat is only a recent entrant to the list of her critics.

We have a huge number of non Hindu folks who have pretty much laid bare the treasure chest so to speak.

Errrr .ya. She believed that if she converted them at their death beds their "souls would be saved from eternal hell". :P ..... and she herself would get brownier points to saving their souls by guiding them to jesus.

It was a low hanging fruit, in business terminology. The sick and the dying make excellent subjects.

She did because she said she saw the image of God is such people and thought it to be her duty to take care of them.

Maybe she saw that too. Maybe she din't.

That's the worst fraud. To promise a lie to a dying man is the worst form of debauchery. MoC did and continues it to this day. For hundreds of thousands of the dying. It's hard to imagine anything worse. It's only about numbers. Fulfilling the quota of souls harvested. Like I said - the worst kind.

Mother Teresa's House of Illusions
How She Harmed Her Helpers As Well As Those They 'Helped'
by Susan Shields

Some years after I became a Catholic, I joined Mother Teresa's congregation, the Missionaries of Charity. I was one of her sisters for nine and a half years, living in the Bronx, Rome, and San Francisco, until I became disillusioned and left in May 1989. As I reentered the world, I slowly began to unravel the tangle of lies in which I had lived. I wondered how I could have believed them for so long.

Three of Mother Teresa's teachings that are fundamental to her religious congregation are all the more dangerous because they are believed so sincerely by her sisters. Most basic is the belief that as long as a sister obeys she is doing God's will. Another is the belief that the sisters have leverage over God by choosing to suffer. Their suffering makes God very happy. He then dispenses more graces to humanity. The third is the belief that any attachment to human beings, even the poor being served, supposedly interferes with love of God and must be vigilantly avoided or immediately uprooted. The efforts to prevent any attachments cause continual chaos and confusion, movement and change in the congregation. Mother Teresa did not invent these beliefs - they were prevalent in religious congregations before Vatican II - but she did everything in her power (which was great) to enforce them.

Once a sister has accepted these fallacies she will do almost anything. She can allow her health to be destroyed, neglect those she vowed to serve, and switch off her feelings and independent thought. She can turn a blind eye to suffering, inform on her fellow sisters, tell lies with ease, and ignore public laws and regulations.

Women from many nations joined Mother Teresa in the expectation that they would help the poor and come closer to God themselves. When I left, there were more than 3,000 sisters in approximately 400 houses scattered throughout the world. Many of these sisters who trusted Mother Teresa to guide them have become broken people. In the face of overwhelming evidence, some of them have finally admitted that their trust has been betrayed, that God could not possibly be giving the orders they hear. It is difficult for them to decide to leave - their self-confidence has been destroyed, and they have no education beyond what they brought with them when they joined. I was one of the lucky ones who mustered enough courage to walk away.

It is in the hope that others may see the fallacy of this purported way to holiness that I tell a little of what I know. Although there are relatively few tempted to join Mother Teresa's congregation of sisters, there are many who generously have supported her work because they do not realize how her twisted premises strangle efforts to alleviate misery. Unaware that most of the donations sit unused in her bank accounts, they too are deceived into thinking they are helping the poor.

As a Missionary of Charity, I was assigned to record donations and write the thank-you letters. The money arrived at a frantic rate. The mail carrier often delivered the letters in sacks. We wrote receipts for checks of $50,000 and more on a regular basis. Sometimes a donor would call up and ask if we had received his check, expecting us to remember it readily because it was so large. How could we say that we could not recall it because we had received so many that were even larger?

When Mother spoke publicly, she never asked for money, but she did encourage people to make sacrifices for the poor, to "give until it hurts." Many people did - and they gave it to her. We received touching letters from people, sometimes apparently poor themselves, who were making sacrifices to send us a little money for the starving people in Africa, the flood victims in Bangladesh, or the poor children in India. Most of the money sat in our bank accounts.

The flood of donations was considered to be a sign of God's approval of Mother Teresa's congregation. We were told by our superiors that we received more gifts than other religious congregations because God was pleased with Mother, and because the Missionaries of Charity were the sisters who were faithful to the true spirit of religious life.

Most of the sisters had no idea how much money the congregation was amassing. After all, we were taught not to collect anything. One summer the sisters living on the outskirts of Rome were given more crates of tomatoes than they could distribute. None of their neighbors wanted them because the crop had been so prolific that year. The sisters decided to can the tomatoes rather than let them spoil, but when Mother found out what they had done she was very displeased. Storing things showed lack of trust in Divine Providence.

The donations rolled in and were deposited in the bank, but they had no effect on our ascetic lives and very little effect on the lives of the poor we were trying to help. We lived a simple life, bare of all superfluities. We had three sets of clothes, which we mended until the material was too rotten to patch anymore. We washed our own clothes by hand. The never-ending piles of sheets and towels from our night shelter for the homeless we washed by hand, too. Our bathing was accomplished with only one bucket of water. Dental and medical checkups were seen as an unnecessary luxury.

Mother was very concerned that we preserve our spirit of poverty. Spending money would destroy that poverty. She seemed obsessed with using only the simplest of means for our work. Was this in the best interests of the people we were trying to help, or were we in fact using them as a tool to advance our own "sanctity?" In Haiti, to keep the spirit of poverty, the sisters reused needles until they became blunt. Seeing the pain caused by the blunt needles, some of the volunteers offered to procure more needles, but the sisters refused.

We begged for food and supplies from local merchants as though we had no resources. On one of the rare occasions when we ran out of donated bread, we went begging at the local store. When our request was turned down, our superior decreed that the soup kitchen could do without bread for the day.

It was not only merchants who were offered a chance to be generous. Airlines were requested to fly sisters and air cargo free of charge. Hospitals and doctors were expected to absorb the costs of medical treatment for the sisters or to draw on funds designated for the religious. Workmen were encouraged to labor without payment or at reduced rates. We relied heavily on volunteers who worked long hours in our soup kitchens, shelters, and day camps.

A hard-working farmer devoted many of his waking hours to collecting and delivering food for our soup kitchens and shelters. "If I didn't come, what would you eat?" he asked.

Our Constitution forbade us to beg for more than we needed, but, when it came to begging, the millions of dollars accumulating in the bank were treated as if they did not exist.

For years I had to write thousands of letters to donors, telling them that their entire gift would be used to bring God's loving compassion to the poorest of the poor. I was able to keep my complaining conscience in check because we had been taught that the Holy Spirit was guiding Mother. To doubt her was a sign that we were lacking in trust and, even worse, guilty of the sin of pride. I shelved my objections and hoped that one day I would understand why Mother wanted to gather so much money, when she herself had taught us that even storing tomato sauce showed lack of trust in Divine Providence.

For nearly a decade, Susan Shields was a Missionaries of Charity sister. She played a key role in Mother Teresa's organization until she resigned.


That's the worst fraud. To promise a lie to a dying man is the worst form of debauchery. MoC did and continues it to this day. For hundreds of thousands of the dying.

It may be a fraud, but the truth is often over rated.

Many times A lie that brings happiness is much better than the truth that spreads bitterness.

There are those who she did help, then there are those who she did not. Either way she tried. Which is more than I can say for many others.
