Mother Teresa was the loving mother to the ailing humanity. She was an apostle of love, peace and benevolence. She was a rare phenomenon in this unfeeling world of woes. This saintly woman was born on 27th August, 1910 in the village Skopje in Albania. Her earlier name was Agnes Gonxhas Bojaxhiu. Her father, who was a kind and charitable man, was a building contractor. Her mother who was a pious lady came from Venice in Italy. From her childhood Agnes took great interest in the ritual of the church. She loved books and spent long hours in reading.

She had her early education at the Sacred Heart Church School in Albania. At twelve, she first expressed her desire to be a nun. She learnt that early missionaries had offered services to India. She also came to know about the Loreto nuns who had been working in Bengal. She came to Kolkata in 1928. From Kolkata, she was sent to Darjeeling where she began her life as a trainee nun at the Loreto Novitiate. After two years of prayer, discipline and hard work, she became a sister of Loreto. She came to be known as Sister Teresa in 1931. Having completed her training, Sister Teresa joined Loreto Convent at Entally in Kolkata as a Geography teacher and after a few years became its principal.

But her heart cried for the distressed dwellers of a slum opposite to the convent. She wanted to help and share everything she had with those who lived in hunger and poverty, dirt and disease. She attended to the poor and dying people in the slums. With all her love, energy and dedication, she won the hearts of the poor slum dwellers.

It was 10 September, 1946, she decided to leave the convent to serve the suffering humanity. She got permission from the Pope, who blessed her on her mission. Clad in a white saree with a blue border, a small cross and the Bible in one hand, she left the convent with strength of mind. She went to medical training to be a nurse at Patna. On her return, she started her mission of serving the poor and the distressed in Kolkata. She started her work in the slum area around Loreto Convent, Entally. She taught slum children not to use bad language and to always help others. She gave them lessons on hygiene. She set up a school. The school began to grow and was given the name 'Nirmal Hriday'.

She set up Missionaries of Charity in 1950. She also founded 'Nirmala Kennedy Centre', 'Nirmal Sishubhavan', 'Leprosy Heritage' in Howrah and Sodepur. She extended her works aboard. She was love personified. Honours were showered upon her from India and aboard. She was the recipient of 'Padmashree', 'Jawaharlal Nehru Award', 'Desikottam', 'Magsaysay' etc. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1980. Such a great soul left her mortal frame on September 5, 1997. She was beatified in the Vatican by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003.

She is no more among us. But her call 'clothe the naked child' still rings in our ears. This angelic soul remains and will remain in our loving memory forever. In the present days of disharmony, Mother Teresa is, of course, a very symbol of peace and salvation.

Biography of Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda

Twelfth January, 1863 saw the birth of a new star in the religious horizon of the world. On this day pious Biswanath Dutta, an attorney of Calcutta High court, and Bhubaneswari Devi were blessed with a son whom they fondly called 'Bile'. His real name was Narendranath. Young Narendranath was a lively and even naughty boy who was more fond of sports and games and active life than a life of contemplation and meditation. But as a student of Scottish Church College he became serious and showed interest in Western philosophy and became familiar with the then progressive Brahma Society of Calcutta. But none of these things satisfied his queries about the ultimate truth. So he went to Dakshineswar to meet Ramkrishna with whom he seemed to feel an immediate spiritual affinity. The meeting initiated a turning point of his life. Later he became the disciple of the prophet and came to be known as Swami Vivekananda. It was under Ramakrishna's mystical impact that Vivekananda felt himself to be a capable apostle of Hindu Vedanta philosophy. He set sail for America to take part in the World Religion Congress to present to the West the authentic Hindu view of life. His profound and eloquent speech held the audience spellbound and for the first time in the modern era the West heard from the lips of the young Hindu yogi the truth of Hinduism of which they had been ignorant till then. Through his historic speech, the Hindu monk conveyed the eternal messages of 'Help and not Fight', 'Assimilation and not Destruction' 'Harmony and Peace and not Dissension'. Returning to India Vivekananda made efforts to found the Ramakrishna Mission. He founded the Ramakrishna Mission in May, 1897 and Belur Math in December, 1898. Swamiji was a symbol of endless energy, courage and strength. "Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached" was his inspiring message. He was a great patriot, social reformer and man of letters. His works inspire the spirit of nationalism in the youth of India. Swamiji left his mortal frame on 4th July, 1902 at the age of 39 but his eternal messages will serve as a beacon for generations to come. In the words of Chelyshev, "Many years will pass, many generations will come and go, Vivekananda and his time will become the distant past, but never will fade the memory of the man who all his life dreamed of a better future for people."

Paragraph on 'Visit To A Historical Place'

Visit To A Historical Place

Ajanta Caves, Image : Pixabay

        A visit to a new place is pleasant to all. I enjoyed a wonderful place on my last summer vacation. I, along with my family, went to Maharashtra. We took the morning train from Howrah. Me and my brother sat by the window. It was a pleasant journey indeed. I saw beautiful landscapes, stations, towns, villages on both sides of the railway line. After two days of journey we reached Aurangabad. We put up in a hotel near the Ajanta caves. It is a place of historical interest. There are 29 caves and they depict the story of Buddhism. The caves are formed in the form of a horse shoe. The frescos and sculptures were done thousands of years ago. The sculptures were carved out from one single rock. I liked the place very much. It will remain as an unforgettable trip to me. 

Visit To A Historical Place

A visit to a new place is pleasant to all. I enjoyed a wonderful place on my last winter vacation. One foggy morning in December last year I went to Murshidabad with my parents. We came up to Berhampore by train. From there we reached Murshidabad by a motor-car. It was a pleasant journey indeed. I saw beautiful landscapes, stations, towns, villages on both sides of the railway line. Murshidabad is a place of historical interest. Our first destination was the Jafarganze Palace. It is the place where Nawab Siraj-ud-Doula was brutally murdered. With a heavy heart we then came to Katra Mosque. Murshid Kuli Khan is sleeping here peacefully in his grave. Next we went to Motijheel Palace. The conspiracy to defeat Siraj sadly took place here. After lunch we went to Khusbag. Here we visited the tombs of Nawab Alivardi Khan, Siraj and his wife Lutfulnessa. Atlast we visited the Hazarduari. It is a nice palace with many real and some false doors. We saw the weapons used by the nawabs of Bengal. We saw so many precious paintings there. I was simply thrilled. Then it was time to return. The sweet and sad memories of Murshidabad of the bygone days began to flash upon my inward eye.

Values of Games and Sports

Games and sports play an integral part in the development of a proper life. For health and physical fitness playing games is very much essential. In the playground we forget our woes and worries. We escape the ills of life and enter a world of excitement and joy. But sports do not mean only a mere recreation. They build the body and mould the character. A sportsman is bold, frank and liberal. Sports help in attaining a spirit of sportsmanship. Sports imply competition and struggle. To win a competition one must have courage, determination and a will to win. Sports are a civilized outlet of man's fighting spirit. Sports plant in us leadership qualities. Some other important virtues like discipline, obedience, self-control and a sense of fair play are cultivated in the playground. Team sports helps to build a healthy team spirit. The players play together for the success of the team. Together they celebrate a victory or lament a loss. It is true, sometimes we can't win. But a true sportsman takes a defeat sportingly. He plays well in all games of life.
