Mother Teresa, the diminutive nun who straddled her century as one of its most towering personalities, was at one level a very simple person and at another a complex enigma. (Navin Chawla, The Hindu)

With 4,000 nuns, she created a multinational enterprise of service that encompassed 123 countries by the time she died in 1997.
She would however have rejected such a proposition because her model was not based on material achievement, but on its spiritual quotient that sprung from and was nurtured by her faith.
