Messsage of Love .....Baba says
Baba says:
Love expresses itself as service—
Love grows through service, Love is born in the womb of service.
Such Love is the solvent for the hardest of hearts and can confer peace, joy and wisdom.
Love is the best spiritual discipline that can help man into universal love, unshaken equanimity and ever-active virtue.
Love as thought is Truth:
Love as action is Right Conduct;
Love as understanding is Peace;
and Love as feeling is Non-violence.

Human Value Love (story of Aama and Baba In Nepal)
Ama and Baba started little children home Purwanchal Anath Ashram from one little room where they cooked in one corner and put kids to sleep in another corner. For daily rice and Lental they begged everyday going to every single house. They have been taking care of orphan children, women and older people for almost 25yrs.
Because of their selfless service to humanity, The Ashram has grown so big now. Total members of family is about 100 now. Baba Ama are in service to take care of the family from the dawn to dusk. Forgetting their own body they are in service 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
Because of Baba Aama's selfless service, the ashram has been blessed with God's presence in various way. One has to witness and see the ashram physically to learn about it.
Aum Sairam!
Quotes of Mother Teresa
He is the Life that I want to live,
He is Light that I want to radiate.
He is the Way to the Father.
He is the Love with which I want to love.
He is the Joy that I want to share.
He is the Peace that I want to sow.
Jesus is Everything to me.
Without Him, I can do nothing.
I am nothing. He is all.
I do nothing of my own. He does it.
I am God's pencil.
A tiny bit of pencil with which He writes what He likes.
God writes through us,
and however imperfect instruments we may be,
He writes beautifully.
Human Value Love (story of Mother Teresa)
The Story of Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on August 26**, 1910.
Her family was of Albanian descent.
At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God.
She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ.
At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India.
After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun.
From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta.
Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming.
This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.
On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.
Today the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established.
The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers.
The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families.
Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.
