Mother Teresa got Sainthood through the process of canonisation. But society has many ways of choosing its saints and conferring the honour on them. In contrast to the institutional method, there is a subaltern, organic method which keeps creating saints in the society. It's, in a sense, society's way of paying gratitude to those who serve it selflessly. The write up explores the social psychology behind this process in the context of some recent examples like Sant Mehi Das or ancient traditions like St.Guinefort within Christianity.
