BOTSWANA, AFRICA, November 9, 2003: As they went around the shrine, devotees whispered an invocation, prostrated to Lord Ganesha, poured milk into a spoon and placed it over His mouth. The milk disappeared. This was the scene at Maruapula Temple last Thursday when members of the Botswana Hindu Society in Gaborone went to feed milk to Ganesha, reports this article. The priest Subramaniam termed it a “miracle.” People joined their Hindu friends to witness the event. “I came to see the God that drinks milk,” said a British woman who preferred not to give her name. Among those who came to witness were ever-skeptical journalists. “Whatever is happening here? The milk just disappeared!” one of them exclaimed after Ganesha drank the spoonful of milk he offered. Subramaniam told a reporter he received a telephone call from India reporting a “miracle unravelling.” The Hindu community started to light candles and lamps around the shrine, and fed milk to Ganesha. “It is happening all over the world. Lord Ganesha is drinking milk. You can go in and say your wish,” Subramaniam told curious non-Hindu spectators.



The last time Ganesha was observed drinking milk was in 1996. Millions of people offered milk at temples and homes and the milk disappeared upon being offered, according to many credible witnesses at the time. This one report from Botswana is all that HPI has received about the current miracle.
