uh-oh, my apologies, has this article here something to with Christians ?!! well then, carry on…

I too have experienced that amazing phenomenon of Ganesha idols drinking milk. It happened only for a few hours and by late evening, the phenomenon subsided.

Anyway, the next day, I read lot of rationalists explaining the phenomenon scientifically. None of these explanations mentioned that this phenomenon is time-specific. My counter-argument to some of my friends who pooh-poohed the miracle was: Why did that phenomenon occur only on that day – why not before and why doesnt it happen every day if it something scientific?

Needless to add, I did not get any replies….

It was caused by a scientific principle called Capillary action, which for a “very rational, scientific, and technically trained person”, should have been the obvious explanation.

All norms of journalistic properitary was thrown to winds and channels were doubling up as Christian Mouthpieces.A viewer would not be faulted if they believed that it was a gospel broadcasting channel that they were watching rather than a newschannel

WRONG WRONG WRONG COMPLETELY WRONG…. NOT OOZED! PLEASE CORRECT RECORDS PLEASE.

FACT: When offered milk to Ganesh Ji (idol I mean) i.e. when a spoon filled with milk was brought closer to the idol’s trunk one could see it getting ‘gone’. In matter of seconds Milk would disappear.

I myself experienced it before my eyes not once or twice BUT thrice. Once in the temple I go to every morning, second to my statue of Ganesh Ji ( sending you a pic of my workstation where he resides) and finally @ or in office of ’supposedly secular’ The Hindu office each time experience was the same. Now I am a very rational, scientific, and technically trained person – so I did experiment with 1. (In temple) Stone Carved Idol 2) @ Home with Hand made clay Idol and finally 3). @ The Hindu’s office here in Delhi in the presence of ARM and DRM and some more collegians (sure those pension seekers would deny of course) I stick out my neck to say WE SAW that.

You know what? By afternoon office people (some one man who is very close to someone whose only interest is in Horses and act…) made an announcement that he has discovered it was due to some scientific ‘phenomenon’ unknown to ‘rationals’!!!!!!

hahahahahahah!

I resigned subsequently three years later (or was made to Good Riddance , anyway for both) but glad I am; I stood my ground and even to this date these ‘pension seekers’ hide their face from me and ‘Me’ as a point never fail to embarrass them. Yes I m cruel.

But then Sandeep as I see no air and have no means to prove (as we can not see it but experience) it exists, equally I BY MY OWN HANDS OFFERED AND MILK WAS CONSUMED. I say this Sandeep with authority.

More to you in a mail to you.

There’s nothing “Indian” about this phenomenon. Catholics worldwide are big on weeping statues. Stories of Mary idols shedding tears (some times of blood) are legion — googling ought to show many. It beats me though why the Christian god always has to send signs to earthlings in a melancholy manner. Why not ooze whisky or vodka?

A belief in miracles is central to the Christian faith. Comparing apples to apples, ie, educated Christians to educated Hindus, the former are far less skeptical about miracles than the latter.

The IANS reporter is just doing his job. The church is a multinational corporation, and like any big corporate, it uses its financial muscle to control media projections of itself. Hinduism is a loser in this game. If you build a significantly sized account with the Slimes, and one fine day ring up Mr Vineet Jain and let him know that you’re not comfortable advertising in a newspaper seen as dissing Hindusim, he’ll in all likelihood come around to your viewpoint. Comrade N Ram had to grovel when Toyota threatened to terminate its contract with The Hindu because there was a negative news report about it in that paper.
