Another fellow Caucasion student saw this miracle happen at his friends house, located in the United States, and is now really thinking about converting. Do you believe in this mystical stuff????
Your friend really does not need to 'convert'. It is not as though there is a slot in the Hindu Caste System that will take him. They'd still be treating us like "untouchables" but they learned to have better manners through the barrels of quite a few British Enfield Rifles.
But actually Hindus are known for their parlor tricks. We have David Copperfield on TV and guys who will do endless card tricks. They have statues with pinholes and vaccuum pumps in the next room.
But,still, there is much of true value in the Sanskrit Traditions... and I say Sanskrit Traditions so I do not have to say 'Hinduism' which is distinguished for the Racial Discrimination inherent in its Caste System. If anybody looks closely enough they will notice that Brahmins are White People and everyone else is colored.
I could be super-scrupulous and also object to Sanskrit as the language of those evil oppressive Brahmins, but actually for a long time Sanskrit served as a kind of common Language on the Sub-Continent, just as English now does. So all the stories and legends of the Native Gods and Religions were translated and passed on from community to community and from generation to generation in Sanskrit, even though the origins of such stories may have been inherently opposed to the Brahmic Conquest of the Native Populations.
We all know it is a safe bet that Ganesh, The Elephant God, was a native Indian God. The Aryans, who became the Brahmic Ruling Class, invaded India with horse and chariot. They found the Elephant waiting for them when they arrived.
Ganesh is the Remover of Obstacles.
Ganesh must be a hard God to please, because when has India ever been rid of any of its obstacles? First the Aryans invade, then the Muslims, then the British, and now MacDonalds is sweeping across their Continent.
Ganesh has proved only that he can slurp dishes of milk. Is Ganesh an Elephant or a Pussycat?
But if this Ganesh Phenomena is genuine, it is a good sign. The Taking of the Milk is the Acceptance by the God of an offered Sacrifice. That is Prelude to His Removal of the Obstacles. It signal a World Spiritual Rennaissance. If nobody has noticed, there has been something of a Spiritual Drought worldwide, and this could be the openning in the clouds that everyone has been waiting for.
