GWALIOR, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA, September 1, 2005: The
scientific community's view that God does not exist has
been questioned again by hardcore believers following a
miracle at Gwalior's Pipaleshwar Temple where tears came
rolling down from the eyes of a Deity of Lord Ganesh, the
elephant-headed God of well-being and wisdom. According
to Lila Devi, the priest of the temple, the miracle
occurred on Wednesday evening . "At 6 o'clock when the
people came to lit a lamp they saw tears in the eyes of
Ganesh. At first, they were confused whether they should
tell about it or not but then they told about it. Since
then, people in large numbers are coming to see," said
Lila Devi. Residents of Gwalior feel that science has no
relevance in the face of this miracle. "When I was
returning from the shop in the evening at 8:30, I saw the
crowd near the temple. The people told me that Lord
Ganesh was crying. I took out my handkerchief and wiped
his tears. Then I saw a drop of tear fell on my finger.
In this modern world, science will fail before this
miracle," said K C Makheja, a resident. Devotees in large
number thronged the temple which is nearly 50 years old.
They think that it is a good omen and prayers have been
conducted. Looking at the crowd thronging the temple,
police have been deployed to maintain peace and order.

 

chrisitians have these too, I wonder how much effort goes into setting one up.......

 

i dunno, but it seems like a lot. personally, i prefer the water stains on windows, they're so pretty when the light moves over them.

 

ganesh is cool ....i hope he chears up some for divali ....

 

is that his festival that's coming up


real coincidental timing.....

 

timing is crucial

 

This is more amazing than the Pipe-Smoking Apostle in Brazil

 

Yes, good point! This could be a case of the Ganeshas trying to keep up with the Madonnas.

It appears the scientific evidence is visible sighting of the tears manifesting themselves.

If one was to put freon tubes through a deity which would lower the temperature of that God, due to condensation tears could manifest... not that Ganesha himself wouldn't have the powers to cry.

I suggest we send a team of nobel winning scientists to investigate. Hindus though may have a problem with the caste and dietary choices of such individuals in the prescence of their God.

 

besides which, it would be rude.

 

but that would be up to Ganesha to decide, wouldn't it? who are we to tell Ganesha who he can have audience with and who he can't?

 

we even have a priest here with occasional stigmata on forehead

 

well, i guess they'd better bring milk.

 

if his festival is coming up why is he crying, you'd think he'd be drooling........

 

What is the Lord Ganesh statue made of?
