The
concluding lines of your article glorifyies Mother Teresa, and therefore, it
becomes imperative on my part to provide excerpts from Arise Arjun Awaken my
Hindu Nation ISBN 81-89746-01-4. Hope this is of help in removing the Myth of
Mother Teresa.
It is very interesting that there is a common pattern amongst
Christian missionaries. One that they manage to keep a beautiful face before
masses. Two that they love to get crime money and hold to it for 'buying' new
Christians. Three hypocrisy seems to be in their blood. Let us see another
extraordinary example.
We Hindus are rather excessively
grateful to those who have been good to us. Bishop Heber wrote: 'The Hindus are
… more easily affected by kindness and attention to their wants and feelings
than any people I ever met with.' Warren Hastings wrote: 'Hindus … are more
susceptible of gratitude for kindness shown to them…' … in the 16th century,
Abul Fazl, the minister of the Emperor Akbar, says in his Ayine Akbari: 'The Hindus
are … grateful and of unbounded fidelity…' and we have not changed much in that
respect.
Interestingly, I was no better. I had
learned of Mother Teresa from her biography written after her death by a woman
journalist (I forget the name but one of her chapters were titled as 'Poor on
the Moon' that I remember vividly). I picked up this book from Flemingdon Park
Library in Toronto and I was so impressed by whatever I read that I viewed her
as the true KarmYogi of present day, and I also periodically sent money to her
organization. In receipt I would receive from her office a small Chit neatly
typed with a old typewriter with blessings and a message from Mother Teresa. I
would perceive, how nice of them to be saving money on even such small things
so that they could spend that money for the poor and the needy! Now I feel like
such a fool when I learn the inner story as narrated by N S Rajaram.
"To get at the truth behind the
Teresa myth, we need to go to books written by non-Indians. Bhaaratiya
journalists, true to their character, have studiously avoided reporting the
abuses taking place in her institution right under their noses. Fortunately,
several Western writers have written honestly about Teresa and her mission. Two
that merit notice are The Missionary Position by Christopher Hitchens and
Mother Teresa: Beyond the Image by Anne Sebba.
In her home for the dying, no
medication or painkillers are allowed even to terminally ill patients. Even her
childcare institution in Calcutta is a cheerless place where children have
neither toys nor playgrounds. They are told only to pray."
N S Rajaram • ISBN 81-85990-52-2
Reading this I have wondered, whom they
were supposed to pray? Would that be anyone other than Jesus Christ? In the
disguise of prayer, would it be a clever ploy to convert the kids into
Christianity from their very childhood? These kids may not even know the
difference between two religions!
"Her hospitals are in a highly
unhygienic state. This happens to be the opinion not of a hostile reporter, but
of Dr. Robin Cox, editor of the prestigious British publication Lancet – the
foremost medical journal in the world.
Mary Loudon, another English
investigator found patients sleeping on the floor - as many as sixty in a
single room. Even rudimentary health procedures were not being followed. Loudon
saw unsterilized needles being used and reused after being simply washed in
cold water. Also, patients in need of simple surgery were allowed to die
instead of being sent to other hospitals in Calcutta. It was not just patients
that were treated under such appalling conditions; even health workers could
not escape infections. Anne Sebba has pointed out that several of the nurses
caught tuberculosis, and possibly AIDS. In all these, there is a single remedy offered
to the inmates regardless their condition – prayer.
This has greatly contributed to the
image of Mother Teresa as a woman driven by faith and love for Jesus; it has
contributed even more to her bank balance, for prayers costs nothing. But she
did not display the same reserve – not to say piety – during her own illnesses.
She was always careful to get treated at the best hospitals in the world like
the Massachusetts General in Boston. When she was unable to travel, as during
her final illness, she was treated by the specialist at the prestigious R. K.
Birla Heart Research Center in Calcutta – a Hindu charitable institution. So
neither money, nor Christian faith, was allowed to come in the way, when her
own health was involved. But for the poor it is different. Prayer is good for
them.
From the appalling condition of her
institutions, one would be wrong to conclude that the Missionaries of Charity
is only doing what its limited resources allow. Nothing could be further from
the truth. It is one of the richest Catholic institutions in the world.
Recently, a single current account in a bank in the Bronx (New York) showed a
deposit of $50 million!
Among her special favorites were
Charles Keating – now serving a ten-year sentence in a California prison – and
Robert Maxwell who committed suicide when the Scotland Yard got too close to
him. Both had swindled hundreds of millions of dollars from their depositors
and investors. Paul W. Turley, the California Deputy District Attorney who
prosecuted Keating stated that Keating stole more than $900 million! Many
individuals lost their life savings. Mr. Turley wrote: 'the victims of Mr.
Keating's fraud come from a wide spectrum of society. … Most were people of
modest means and unfamiliar with high finance.'
Why did Keating give more than a
million dollar to mother Teresa? When his case was being tried, she wrote to
the trial judge Lance Ito asking him to show clemency towards Keating because
'He has always been kind and generous to God's poor.' In addition, she appealed
to the judge to 'look into his heart and do what Jesus would have done in that
circumstances.' Learning to this appeal, District Attorney Turley wrote back to
Mother Teresa: 'I submit the same challenge to you. Ask yourself what Jesus
would have done if he were given the fruits of the crime, …money that had been
stolen. …I submit that Jesus would promptly return the money to its rightful
owners. …Do not keep the money. Return it to the rightful owners.' But Mother
Teresa ignored his appeal and kept the stolen money. This was not the only such
instance.
She helped produce political propaganda
films for the notorious dictator Duvalier of Haiti and his wife Michele who
stole billions of dollars from their impoverished country before running away
to Spain. [Oxford Dictionary, Haiti: From 1957 to 1986 the country was under
the oppressive dictatorship of the Duvalier family]. Mother Teresa not only
accepted millions from dictator Duvalier (who was guilty of mass executions),
but also honors and decorations from his bloody hands.
What is it about Christian
missionaries, from Mother Teresa to Pat Robertson, – that draws them to such
thieves and mass murderers as Duvalier and Mobutu?
As far as the poor are concerned,
Mother Teresa's successor Sister Nirmala put it in perspective: The poor are
God's gift, to us. Without the poor we would all be without jobs."

Finally, let us see what personal dairy
of Mother Teresa says:
"Her letters and dairies present a
completely different picture of the nun from her public image as a woman
confident of her faith"
The Daily Telegraph, PTI London 29 Nov, Indian Express 30
Nov 2002
'…My smile is a great cloak [disguise,
pretext] that hides a multitude of pains,' wrote Mother Teresa… 'In my own soul,
I feel the terrible pain of this loss. I feel that God does not want me, that
God is not God and that He does not really exist,' she wrote.
