At the end of the twentieth century, a miracle happened in a Hindu temple! A sculpture of a deity named Ganesha drank some milk. Since that time, similar incidents have occurred in many temples, as well as on some home altars. Even sculptures of the god of creation and destruction - Shiva, his servant Parvati, as well as Vishna, Brahma and other statues worshiped by Hindus, gods - did not refuse milk. Indian astrologers are sure that such a miracle became possible because a great soul came into the world.
It is known that the Hindus regard the statues of the gods as living beings. The morning for the servants of numerous temples begins with the fact that they wake up the statues, wash, dress them up, decorate them with flowers, and light candles. In the temples, dances are arranged for the gods, musicians are invited. It used to be that the gods preferred to take valuable offerings. But now the gods have departed from the rules and began to consume material goods, however, only as milk.
When the news of the miracle spread all over India, endless queues of people wishing to present milk to the gods were drawn to the temples. The police had to block the streets around the temples, traffic was disrupted, and people kept walking and walking towards the temples, carrying milk in dishes. The ministers of the temples even had to introduce restrictions: one person was allowed to present only a teaspoon of milk to the statue.
Not without some troubles. While the ministers helped the parishioners to water the statues, thieves took away the shoes left at the temple.
In a short time, milk became a scarce product in India, sellers increased its price several times, but this did not stop believers. There was even a curious case when the exchange had to stop trading because all employees went to the entrance of their building to give milk to the statue of Ganesha installed there.
The famous Indian guru Chandraswamy hastened to appropriate the awakening of the gods and the "milk miracle".
Temples also did not remain at a loss, because the number of believers attending temples has increased many times.
But the minister of the state of Orissa got tired of following the spontaneous hysteria of the population, and he ordered to urgently close the temples.

The most incredible rumors spread throughout the country. For example, one of the residents told about the sudden loss of a vessel with milk. He suggested that the reason was a small figurine of the god Ganesha, which was in the immediate vicinity of the liquid.
Rumors of a miracle spread throughout the world. The miracle happened in many temples where Hindu communities lived. Information came from the United States that the gods on home altars did not refuse milk. For example, in Great Britain, where there is a large Indian community, the "milk miracle" also happened. In one of the temples, several thousand people watched the process of absorbing milk by the statue. As a result, all the milk was instantly bought at the nearest retail outlets.
In Hong Kong, believers gathered in a temple to see the phenomenon. But the sculptures of the gods did not drink milk until the baby came up to the statue of Krishna and offered milk. From that moment on, all the statues began to drink milk. A small figurine of Ganesha drank about twenty liters of milk.
Many believers are sure that a miracle is performed by the will of the gods, who demonstrate their strength so that believers do not doubt their existence.
World scientists did not stay away from the study of the "milk miracle". They suggested that the secret of the phenomenon is hidden in the raw materials from which the statues are made. For example, marble or other similar materials have the ability to absorb liquid. In science, this ability is called the capillary effect. The essence of the "miracle" is that the incoming liquid interacts with the material of the statue. Scientists are confident that in this way the statue can "drink" several liters of liquid.
Researchers at the British Institute have expressed their version of the "milk miracle". They believe that this is the machinations of the ministers of the temple, who installed hidden mechanisms for pumping milk.
But a person always wants to believe in a miracle. And scientists have not yet provided convincing evidence that the "milk miracle" is only a deception of believers.
