A true destination for everyone. I have experienced immense satisfaction and inner spiritual fulfillment just by being at the place. A nice place where I happen to learn many things about Mother Teresa.

Stop by the home of Mother Teresa, and feel the holiness of the place. It is a wonderful place to reflect - on her life and your own.

Was what i had standing there in the Mother's house! To think that this was were The Mother led her life from and did all the wonderful guardian angel work that she did. As I stood at her tomb and in her room, I felt truly humbled.

The Sisters of Charity house is small and unassuming, like Mother Teresa. But I was sad to see her marble tomb - so big it dwarfed the room. I didn't feel her presence at all, and I was disappointed.

Very interesting. Mother Teresa's room is so simple. Make sure you visit the chapel upstairs with a statue of The Mother praying.

We visited Mother House twice during our recent trip to Kolkata such was the effect this wonderful place had on us. It is spiritual, calm and serene, a very moving experience.
