విశ్వమాత, భారతరత్న మదర్ థెరీసా

సె ప్టెంబర్ 5 వతేదీ మదర్ థెరీసా వర్ధంతి సందర్భంగా ఈ వ్యాసం అందిస్తున్నారు పుట్టి నాగలక్ష్మి .

మానవత్వం మూర్తీభవించిన మహిమాన్విత, అభాగ్యులను, అన్నార్తులను, రోగార్తులను, అనాథలను తన చల్లని చేతులతో చేరదీసి, సేవ చేసిన మాతృమూర్తి ఆమె. మానవసేవే మాధవ సేవగా భావించి ఆ సందేశానికి ప్రతీకగా నిలిచిన మానవతామూర్తి ఆమె.

శాంతి, స్నేహం, దయ, ప్రేమ, సహానుభూతులే ధ్యేయమైన అమృతమూర్తి, త్యాగమయి, స్నేహశీలి, ప్రేమమయి ఆమె.

అనాథలు, రోగిష్టులు, దివ్యాంగులు, వృద్ధులు, అంటువ్యాధుల భాదితులు, మరణించే సమయానికి చేరువయిన వారికి ఆపన్న హస్తం అందించిన ‘విశ్వమాత’ – ‘భారతరత్న’ ఆమె.

ఈమె నేటి మాసిడోనియా నాటి యుగోస్లేవియాలోని స్కోప్జేలో 1910 ఆగష్టు 26వ తేదీన జన్మించారు. పుట్టిన మరునాడే తల్లిదండ్రులు బాప్టిజమ్ (జ్ఞాన స్నానం) చేయించారు. తల్లిదండ్రులు నికోల్లె, డ్రాన బొజాక్షిహ్యూలు. ఆమె 3వ ఏట తండ్రి మరణించారు.

తల్లిదండ్రులు పెట్టిన పేరు ఆగ్నేస్ గోంక్షా బొజాక్షి హ్యూ (Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu) బాల్యం నుండీ క్రైస్తవమత ప్రచారకుల జీవితకథలు, సేవలు ఈమెను ఆకర్షించాయి. రోమన్ కేథలిక్ మతాన్ని స్వీకరించారు. మతానికి జీవితాన్ని అంకితం చేయాలనుకున్నారు. కొంతకాలం తరువాత పద్దెనిమిదేళ్ళ వయసులో ‘సిస్టర్స్ ఆఫ్ లొరెటో’  సంస్థలో చేరారు.

తరువాత ఈ సంస్థలో ఉపాధ్యాయినిగా చేరడం కోసం సన్నద్ధమయ్యారు. భారతదేశ విద్యార్థులకు ఇంగ్లీషు భాషను నేర్పించడం కోసం ఐర్లాండ్ లోని రాత్ ఫార్న్ హామ్ లోని శిక్షణా సంస్థలో శిక్షణ తీసుకున్నారు. ఈ సంస్థ ‘లోరెటో అబ్బే’లో ఉంది. దీని పేరు ‘ఇన్‌స్టిట్యూట్ ఆఫ్ ది బ్లెస్ వర్జిన్ మేరీ’. ఇక్కడ శిక్షణ పూర్తయ్యాక 1929లో డార్జిలింగ్ చేరుకున్నారు. అక్కడి పాఠశాలలో కొంతకాలం ఉపాధ్యాయినిగా పని చేశారు. సన్యాసినిగా ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేశారు. ఆ తరువాత తన కుటుంబ సభ్యులను కలవలేదు. అంత నిబద్ధత, నియమాలని పాటించారు.

కలకత్తా ఆమె కార్యక్షేత్రంగా మారింది. ఆమె సుమారు 20 సంవత్సరాలు ఈ నగరంలోని ఎంటల్లీలోని లోరెటో పాఠశాలలో ఉపాధ్యాయినిగా పని చేసిన తరువాత ప్రధానోపాధ్యాయురాలయ్యారు. తన పేరుని ‘థెరీసా’గా మార్చుకున్నారు.

1943 నాటికి బెంగాల్‌లో కరువు విలయ తాండవం చేసింది. కరువు, కాటకాలు ఏర్పడ్డాయి. కలకత్తాలోని పేదరికం ఆమె మనసును కలచివేసింది. 1946 నాటికి హిందూ, ముస్లిం పరిస్థితిని మరింత దిగజార్చాయి.

ఉపాధ్యాయులుగా పని చేసేవారు చాలామంది ఉంటారు. కాని సమాజసేవకు త్వరగా ఎవరూ ముందుకు రారు. కాని ఉద్యోగం మానేసి ప్రజలకు సేవ చేయాలని నిర్ణయించుకున్నారీమె.

రోమ్‌లో పోప్ అనుమతిని తీసుకున్నారు. 1950లో ‘మిషనరీస్ ఆఫ్ ఛారిటీ’ సంస్థను స్థాపించారు. అంతకు ముందు కొంతకాలం పాట్నాలోని హోలీ హాస్పటల్‌లో ప్రాథమిక చికిత్సాపద్దతులను నేర్చుకున్నారు. భారతీయ సంస్కృతి పట్ల గౌరవం ప్రదర్శించడం కోసం చీరను ధరించడం మొదలు పెట్టారు. అది నీలిరంగు అంచు తెల్లచీర.

1952లో కలకత్తాలోని శిథిలమైన కాళీఘాట్‌ని సంస్థ నిర్వహణ కోసం తీసుకున్నారు. దానికి ‘నిర్మల హృదయ్’ అని పేరు పెట్టారు. తన పేరును ‘మదర్ థెరీసా’ గా మార్చుకున్నారు. నాడు 13 మంది సభ్యులతో ఈ సంస్థ మొదలయింది. ఆమె మరణించేనాటికి 4000 మంది సభ్యులు దేశ, విదేశాలలో ఈ సంస్థల ద్వారా సేవలందించడం చారిత్రక నిజం.

మానవులకు మరణించే ముందు తన వారితో ప్రశాంతంగా గడపాలని, తమ ఆవేదనని వారి సాంగత్యంలో మరచిపోవాలని, మనశ్శాంతిగా మరణించాలనే ఆశ ఉంటుంది. అయితే కొంత మందికి ఈ కోరిక తీరే పరిస్థితులు ఉండవు.

ఒక రోజు కలకత్తాలో రోడ్డు పక్కన ఒక అనాథ వృద్ధులు చాలా హీన పరిస్థితులలో థెరీసాకి కనిపించారు. ఆమె తన ఇంటికి తీసుకుని వచ్చి శుశ్రూషలు చేశారు. ఆప్యాయంగా లాలించి, ప్రశాంతంగా మరణించేట్లు సేవలు చేశారు. అప్పుడు ఆమె చనిపోయేవారిని ఆదరించి, ఆహ్లాదపరిచి, తాము అనాథలం కాదని, తమ కోసం బాధపడి పరితపించేవారున్నారని చెప్పడం కోసం అటువంటి వారందరినీ ఒక చోట చేర్చాలని ఆకాంక్షించారు. ఈ సంకల్పబలమే 1952లో ‘హోమ్ ఫర్ ది డైయింగ్’ సంస్థను స్థాపించేందుకు దోహదపడింది.

అనాథలు, నిరాశ్రయులయిన పిల్లల కోసం 1955లో ‘శిశుభవన్’లను ఏర్పాటు చేశారు. వృద్ధుల కోసమే కాక వివిధ రకాల వ్యాధులు, వైకల్యము, మానసిక వేదనలతో బాధపడే బాధితుల కోసం కొన్ని సంస్థలను స్థాపించారు.

కుష్టువ్యాధి బాధితుల కోసం శాంతినగర్ అనే ధర్మశాలను స్థాపించారు. వారికి డ్రెస్సింగ్ చేయడం కోసం నర్లను నియమించారు. మందులందించే ఏర్పాటు చేశారు.

వారు వీరు అనే తేడా లేకుండా అంధులు, అనాథలు, వికలాంగులు, నిరాశ్రయులు, మానసిక రోగులు, అనాథ పిల్లలు, వృద్ధుల కోసం ఎన్నో శరణాలయాలను స్థాపించారు.

వివిధ దేశాల నుండి అమితమైన నిధులు ఈ సంస్థలకు అందడం గొప్ప విశేషం. ఆ నిధులతోనే విశ్వవ్యాప్తంగా వేలాది సంస్థల ద్వారా సేవలందించగలిగారామె.

అంతర్జాతీయంగా సేవలను అందించడం కోసం 1963లో సోదరుల కోసం, 1976లో సిస్టర్స్ కోసం సంస్థల శాఖలను స్థాపించారు.

1960ల నాటికి ఈ సేవలను విదేశాలకు కూడా విస్తరింపజేశారు. వెనిజులా, ఇటలీ, టాంజానియా, ఆస్ట్రియా, అమెరికా, ఆసియా, ఆఫ్రికా, ఐరోపాలలోని అనేక దేశాలలో థెరీసా స్థాపించిన సంస్థలు సేవ చేయడంలో ముందున్నాయి.

1970ల నాటికి అమన్, జోర్డాన్, ఇంగ్లండ్, అమెరికాలలో సేవలను మరింత విస్తృత పరిచారు. 1979 నాటికి 25 దేశాలలో సుమారు 200 రకాల సేవలను తమ సంస్థల ద్వారా అందించారు.

1980ల నాటికి తనని వ్యతిరేకించే కమ్యూనిస్ట్ దేశాలయిన క్యూబా, రష్యాలలో కూడా సేవా సంస్థలను స్థాపించి సేవలను అందించడం విశేషం.

1990ల కాలంలో ప్రపంచమంతా వ్యాపించిన HIV (AIDS) వ్యాధి బాధితుల కోసం కూడా ప్రత్యేక శరణాలయాలను స్థాపించారు. ఈ సంస్థలలో ఈ వ్యాధి బాధితులు ప్రశాంతంగా, జీవితాన్ని గడపటానికి ఏర్పాట్లు చేశారు. వారి మానసిక వేదనని అర్థం చేసుకుని సానుభూతిని, సహానుభూతిని అందించారు. ఈ అన్ని రకాల ఆశ్రమాలు, సంస్థలలో ఆమె సిద్ధాంతాలను ఆచరించి, సేవలందించిన మానవతామూర్తులెందరో? వేలాదిమంది మానవీయ కోణంలో సేవలను అందించారు. మదర్ థెరిసా మాటే వారికి వేదం. ఆమె చెప్పిన పనులు చేయడం, అవసరమయిన వారికి అన్ని విధాలుగా చేయూతనందించడం వారి విధి. సేవ చేయడంలో ఆనందాన్ని పొందేవారు.

1991లో తన జన్మభూమి ఆల్బేనియాలోని ‘టిరానా’లో ‘మిషనరీస్ ఆఫ్ ఛారిటీ బ్రదర్స్ హోమ్’ను స్థాపించి ఋణం తీర్చుకున్నారు.

విశ్వవ్యాప్తంగా వివిధ సంస్థల ద్వారా వివిధ రంగాలలో అభాగ్యులు, అనాథలు, వ్యాధి పీడితులు, వృద్ధులు, మానసిక శారీరక దివ్యాంగులు మొదలైన వారికి ఈమె అందించిన సేవలు చిరస్మరణీయం. అందుకే ప్రపంచం ఆమెను ‘విశ్వమాత’ అని ఆప్యాయతతో పిలుచుకున్నారు.

ఈమెకు చాలా పురస్కారాలు లభించాయి. భారత ప్రభుత్వం 1962లో పద్మశ్రీ, 1980లో భారతదేశంలో అత్యున్నత పురస్కారం ‘భారతరత్న’లతో ఈ రత్నాన్ని గౌరవించింది. 1972లో జవహర్‌లాల్ నెహ్రూ పేరిట ‘అంతర్జాతీయ అవగాహన’ పురస్కారాన్ని అందించింది. 1962లో ఫిలిప్పీన్స్ వారి ‘రామన్‌ మేగసేసే పురస్కారం అందుకున్నారు. 1971లో మొదటి పోప్ జాన్ XXIII ‘శాంతి బహుమతి’ని అందించారు. 1973లో ‘టెంపుల్టన్ బహుమతి’ని అందుకున్నారు. 1983లో యునైటెడ్ కింగ్డమ్ ‘ఆర్డర్ ఆఫ్ మెరిట్’ను, అమెరికా సంయుక్త రాష్ట్రాలు 1996లో అమెరికా గౌరవ పౌరసత్వాన్ని అందించారు.

1979వ సంవత్సరంలో ‘నోబెల్ శాంతి బహుమతి’ని అందుకున్నారు.

“ఆమే ఐకరాజ్యసమితి. ఆమే ప్రపంచంలోని శాంతి” అని ఐక్యరాజ్యసమితి మాజీ ప్రధానకార్యదర్శి పెరిజ్ డిక్యులర్ ప్రశంసించారు. అమెరికాలోని ఒక సర్వేలో “20వ శతాబ్దిలో అత్యధిక అభిమానం పొందిన ‘వ్యక్తి'”గా ఎంపిక చేయబడ్డారు.

1983లో ఈమె పోప్ జాన్ II ని దర్శించడం కోసం రోమ్ నగరానికి వెళ్ళారు. అక్కడ గుండెపోటు వచ్చింది. రోజు రోజుకీ ఆరోగ్యం క్షీణిస్తూ వచ్చింది. 1989లో 2వ సారి గుండెపోటుకి గురయ్యారు. 1996లో మెడ ఎముక విరిగింది.

ఈమె అనారోగ్యం పాలయినపుడు మిషనరీస్ ఆఫ్ ఛారిటీ అధినేత పదవికి రాజీనామా చేస్తానన్నారు. అయితే సభ్యులు అంగీకరించలేదు. చివరకు 1997 మార్చి 13వ తేదీన పదవిని త్యజించారు. 1997 సెప్టెంబర్ 5 వ తేదీన కలకత్తాలో మరణించారు.

ఈమె మరణించిన తరువాత పోప్ జాన్‌పాల్ II బీటిఫికేషన్ ప్రక్రియను ప్రారంభించారు. బీటిఫికేషన్ కోసం మోటికా బెర్కేసును గుర్తించారు. బీటిఫికేషన్ తరువాత కాననైజేషన్ ప్రక్రియకు శ్రీకారం చుట్టారు. 2002లో దీనికి సంబంధించిన ఉత్తర్యులను ధృవీకరించారు. 2003 అక్టోబర్ 19 వ తేదీన పోప్ మదర్ థెరీసా కు దీవెనలందించారు. రెండు వైద్యకేసులను ఈమె నయం చేశారనడానికి సాక్ష్యాలు లభించినట్లు అంగీకరించింది వాటికన్ చర్చి.

చివరకు 2016 సెప్టెంబర్ 4 వ తేదీన మదర్ థెరీసాను సెయింట్ (సన్యాసినిగా) ప్రకటించారు. ఆ నాటి నుండి మదర్ థెరీసా’ సెయింట్ థెరీసా’ గా మారారు.

ఈమె జ్ఞాపకార్థం 4 సార్లు స్టాంపులను విడుదల చేసింది భారత తపాలాశాఖ.

1980 ఆగష్టు 27 వ తేదీన 30 పైసల విలువతో తొలిస్టాంపు విడుదలయింది. ఎడమ వైపున నోబెల్ శాంతి బహుమతికి ఇచ్చే మెడల్ చిత్రం, కుడివైపున విశ్వమాత మదర్ థెరీసా ఆ మెడల్‌ని మురిపెంగా చూస్తున్నట్లుగా అ(కనిపిస్తుంది). ఊదారంగులో ముద్రించిన స్టాంపు అందంగా దర్శనమిస్తుంది.

1997 డిశంబర్ 15వ తేదీన ‘INDEPEX97’ (INTERNATIONAL STAMP EXHIBITION, NEW DELHI) ఢిల్లీలో జరిగిన అంతర్జాతీయ స్టాంపుల ప్రదర్శనలో ‘మదర్ థెరీసా- మీని యేచర్ షీటు’ ను విడుదల చేసింది తపాలాశాఖ.

చిన్న కథ ‘మారథాన్’ కాదు!

ఈ తరం వాళ్లు తెలుగు మాట్లాడతాను అంటే వేయి ఉగాదిలైనా ఎదురుచూస్తానమ్మ అని మాస్టారు చేత తెలుగు ప్రాముఖ్యతను తెలుగు భాషాభిమానాన్ని చక్కగా చూపించారు కౌండిన్య ఇంత…

పాణ్యం దత్త శర్మ గారికి అభినందనలు. మన సంస్కృతిని మరిచి, వింత సంస్కృతిని అలవరచుకుంటూ, తెలుగు భాషని ఏం చేస్తారో! ఈ తెలుగు వారు. ప్రస్తుత పరిస్థితిని…

Essay on Mother Teresa for Students and Children

500+ words essay on mother teresa.

Essay on Mother Teresa: There are many humanitarian in the history of the world. Out of the blue, Mother Teresa stood in that crowd of people. She is a lady of great caliber who spends her whole life serving the poor and needy people. Although she was not an Indian still she came to India to help its people. Above all, in this essay on Mother Teresa, we are going to discuss the various aspects of her life.

Mother Teresa was not his actual name but after becoming a nun she received this name from the church after the name of St. Teresa. By birth, she was a Christian and a great believer of God. And due to this reason, she chooses to become a Nun.

The Beginning of Mother Teresa’s Journey
