Do you remember when Ganesha drank milk?

Ganesha drinking milk

I was living in Nairobi, Kenya back in September 1995 when statues of the Indian god Ganesha suddenly began drinking milk all around the world.  I remember people scurrying between alters in houses and temples throughout the predominantly Indian neighborhoods of Highridge, Parklands and Westlands to spoon milk into the mouths of effigies - and them nearly all accepting the offering!  Every witness to this phenomenon I met and talked with, as well as saw on the BBC world news couldn't deny their lack of convincing explanation for this world-wide experience and were in amused shock.

A friend's mention of 'waiting for a miracle' on facebook (not too sure what she meant) sparked this jaunt down memory lane - since Sept 21 1995 I can't recall anything so mystically epic occurring.
