THE POPE AND THE SAINT
Pope John Paul II with Mother Teresa
                          1986
  When Pope John Paul II came to India in 1986, he broke with protocol at Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi's samadhi in Delhi, when he flopped down on his knees and remained in a trance-like meditation for over five minutes until his fellow bishops had to nudge him into wakefulness. He also met Mother Teresa at Kolkata's Nirmal Hriday.
