A view on the allegations on Mother Teresa http://sunnyfernandes.blogspot.in/ Comments looked forward Regards, Sunny Fernandes Sunday, March 15, 2015 Smother Teresa That’s exactly what Mr. Mohan Bhagwat tried to do. Smother Mother Teresa with an allegation that her service to the poor was to convert. If his statement is right, then in reality he is insulting Hindus, as Mother Theresa was called “The saint of the gutters”. So this means Hindus are the only ones poor, and end up in the gutters? If she cleaning up a rotting ‘alive human being’ and giving it a dignity of life or death, why do they need conversion, as anyways they aren’t going to live long and procreate kids to be Catholics. Their near or dear ones who have anyways abandon them will neither turn to Christianity seeing the ‘Sister Act’. We have a PM who is going about trumpeting a ‘Swach Bharat’ (Clean India) campaign. At the same time his cronies like Mr. Mohan Bhagwat find a problem with a religious order that is going about cleaning rotting and uncared human beings and caring for them. So is part of the Clean India movement getting rotting people also cleared like how people would be now cleared of their lands with the Land Acquisition Act? These landless would then end up in poverty and maybe some rotting in the gutter, and get them all cleared to a bin in the process. At least Mother Teresa gave the unwanted a dignity of death rituals and not having them rot to death. Mother Teresa said “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other”. Mr. Bhagwat today you are destroying peace in our country with your venomous statements and trying to divide us on lines of our religious beliefs. The ruling party BJP to who your party owes allegiance too or vice versa, had one of its own MP’s, Sakshi Maharaj who claimed that Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse was a patriot. If an assassin of the Father of our Nation can be praised, what can we expect for a Mother Teresa or for that matter any Mothers, Sisters and Nuns who are anyways getting raped in our country? The Father of our Indian Constitution Dr. B. R. Ambedkar converted to Buddhism. At a conference in 1935 in Yeola, B. R. Ambedkar declared that he would not die a Hindu, saying that it perpetuates caste injustices. The conversion to Buddhism happened post 1936, after an "All Religious Conference" was held at Lucknow, which was attended by prominent Dalit leaders. At the conference, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and Buddhist representatives presented the teachings of their faith to win over the Dalits. So if Buddhism could win over The Father of our Constitution, Indians today don’t need a keeper or propagator like Mr. Bhagwat for the Hindu faith to protect it from Christian conversions. We Indians have realized that religion is a spiritual food and Mr. Bhagwat is not going to decide the menu. His party may have succeeded in deciding the menu of our physical food by banning beef, by trying to prove one man’s food is another man’s religion.BJP already faced the wrath of what happens when Indians collectively exercise the religion of their vote during elections. So in Delhi, BJP, the party who is ruling the Centre, was swept off its feet in their backyard. Not a coincidence the party that won had a broom as its symbol, as the parties like BJP would be swept to the gutters soon. They will not get any charity from Indians then, maybe they could look towards the ‘Sisters of Charity’ (a congregation started by Mother Teresa) definitely not for votes but for conversion of their twisted gutter ideologies. If Mother Theresa wanted to covert, the community that needs a real conversion to Christianity, are the Christians in India themselves. A community that cannot churn leaders like a Mother Theresa, or for that matter leaders to lead the country. A community that regales itself in pity as a minority community in India, when someone like Mother Theresa could be a ‘foreigner in India’ and yet win over a majority, globally, with the work she did. The only conversion Mother Theresa executed was converting people towards humanity. Humanity does not mean accepting injustice, as the Bible did not speak of a Christ who was only crucified, it also showed a Christ who whipped the traders outside the temple, it also displays the strength of a Samson and of a David against a Goliath.
