When Ganesha idol drank milk- what was..

Hey Debators i am reminded of this amazing phenomenon that happened some 11 years ago !!! One fine day the world woke up , but Delhites (don't know if it happened else where) ,who went to the temple and offered Geneshji's murti milk watched with shock , amazement and wonder when Ganesh ji's idol lapped up the milk like it hadn't had a drink in ages !!

I too was in College then and recall all my college mates rushed to the nearest milk booth ........bought a packet each, and then headed to the closest Mandir to feed Ganesh Ji . And we were amazed when Ganesh Ji drank away from our hands too . I tried this with my copper murti at home and it worked !!

Now what was that ???????????? Was it evidence that miracles do happen . A way for god to show that he is very much there !!!To prove his existence !!

Or was it some thing scientfic . Some weird Science explanation . Where one day all Ganesh idols drank milk no matter where you fed them , your own home or a temple .

I want to know what all of you think was that . And i am wondering if there was any one who tried this too 11 years ago !!

no I donot know of that
u say it happened in delhi.
But iam from delhi too and 11 years ago , i think I was in US.I will have to ask my parents this.
did it really happned woh.
personally I think miracles happen.See , i think what u cannot explain through science is a miracle.Some say it is hokus focus , some say it is all in your head. But I think before u jump on any conclution see if that so called miracle is not man made u know what I mean.But this particuler incident ,i would like to know more.

Sure let me see if i see something on the internet . At that point all Newspapers had also reported this bizaare incident .

o.k here are some links that report the incident.

This is my favourite , an article written by a Internationally aclaimed Indian author wrote his experince and tried to look at the scientfic explanation .too !!

it worked here...and i live in canada

woh,
i will check

Yeah I remeber. Thats the same year I learnt capillary action in physics so I was very sceptical. We tried with the Ganesha idol at home and initially it did seem like the idol accepted the first few spoons of milk! But we realized gradually that it was seeping from the murti
Besides I remeber the news reports at that time. They showed the outlets from temples with milk pouring out of it. So I am really sceptical about this one.

Hey I remember that! Yes, it happened here in Canada and I had fed GaneshJi myself also! I can recall the media covering this "miracle" and they had looked for a scientific explanation for it and did not find any. If you think about it, there cannot be a scientific reason. How can Ganesha idols all around the world drink milk, all of a sudden and all during the same time period? I believe this was a reminder from God that He/She is here and just to never loose faith!

mist i had myself tried this with dozens of girl friends and did not see any milk over flow !!
