Lord Ganesha appears as Lemon Fruit (Nimbu)

In India Faith in God knows no bounds. Sometimes they see shape of God on a tree, on a wall & even on different fruits. Recently a similar thing happened in Kurukshetra city in Haryana District of India.

Over there, in the home garden of a Doctor, a lemon tree bore a Lemon fruit which as per the Hindu devotees took the shape of Hindu God - Lord Ganesha. As the news spread that a Lemon fruit (Nimbu) has taken the shape of Lord Ganesha, people across the city started thronging the house of Doctor Sahib. Lo!!! people started chanting prayers & started bowing to Lemon fruit which was appearing to be in the shape of Lord Ganesha. Everyone was saying that it is a miracle of God that He has taken the shape of Lemon fruit (Nimbu). Seeing that now a days Lord Ganesha prayers are in full fervor in India, devotion towards this Lemon fruit, which is appearing to be in the shape of Lord Ganesha, is but natural.

What do you say about it? Devotion or Blind Faith.......

A courier service that runs on faith

Bhubaneswar: Holding a coconut wrapped in a piece of red cloth, a man shows it to a fast running passenger bus on the outskirts of the city. The vehicle stops at a distance and its helper comes near the man in a hurry to collect the fruit. It is carrying coconut to Ghatagaon Tarini, a free courier service which runs on faith.

Thousands of Hindus involve themselves in a network that collects coconuts from devotees from the devotees from almost all partsof the country and deliver them to a temple situated in a mineral hinterland of interior Orissa, about 200 km from the state capital.

The network is spread almost all over the country. Make-shift collection boxes and at a few places small temples have been set up to collect the coconuts. Passenger buses and other vehicles plying on the route to Ghatagaon in Orissa's Keonjhar district carry the fruits and hand it over there.

On an average, over 20,000 coconuts reach the temple for offering before the presiding deity Maa Tarini Thakurani every day through this amazing network. Read more................................................A courier service of Orissa that runs on faith

To avoid deaths, Village lights an earthen lamp for 17 years

Now what would you call to this, a superstition or faith:

"An earthen lamp has been kept alight for 17 years in Chattisgarh's Lendhra Village in the belief that unnatural deaths will be kept at bay."

Kept at the rear of the main village temple that adjoins Radha Madhav Sankirtan Aashram, around 50 kilometers from Raigarh in Chattisgarh state of India, the lamp is revered for its perceived supernatural powers.

"I come here every year and try to bring my family also. This earthen lamp has been burning ever since I came here for the first time over 14 years ago. I love coming here," says Bharat Pandey, a devotee.

The daily expenses for keeping the lamp alight are borne by the villagers and through donations. according to Mukesh Kumar, the temple priest, the mustard oil-lit earthen lamp has been kept aglow by devotees from across Chattisgarh.

"For the past 17 years, this earthen lamp has been on. The villagers and all those who come from outside donate money for the work done in the temple. We have a free meal arrangement for the visitors," said Kumar.

The villagers have also employed two persons to take care of the earthen lamp.
A large number of people belonging to other villages also join the villagers of Lendhra Village to pay their respect to the lamp.

"Perhaps decades ago, on the auspicious day of Ram Navami the worship of lamp was started. Devotees claim to experience a sense of divinity and contentment every time they visit this temple and bow before the lamp. People chant hymns in the praise of the Almighty," said Shayam Lal, a temple staffer.

Most visitors believe that it is due to the grace of the earthen lamp that not one unnatural death has been reported in 17 years.

Blind Faith

Blind faith - that is the nature / property of almost every Indian. They believe any damn thing without any Rational or Logic. Now 2 days before, many people of Bombay oh! Mumbai in India Suddenly discovered that water on the Mahim beach at Bombay sea has turned Sweet. Oh God, water of sea is so salty ( it contains around 2.5 to 3.5 % salts as compared to less than 0.5% in normal drinking water) that you cannot drink it at all & if you drink one full glass of that water, then it is sufficient to give great damage to your Kidneys or other vital organs, but thousands of people on Mahim beach were seen drinking that water & hey it was not Salty but Sweet.

It seems God dwells in India only as all miracles happen over here only. Everybody was saying that it was due to miracle of God & people were taking that water to their homes also while filling it in bottles, plastic bags etc. etc. Now actually what happened was that, in the last few days, it had rained excessively in Bombay & all that water had drained into sea which had diluted water near seashore also, in that area. So that diluted water had reduced the salt content in that water. But Weird people of Bombay / India only believed that it was miracle of God. Science has no place in these people's mind who shall believe any & every damn thing in the world.

Yesterday it was also known that one 10 year girl is sitting in one village of India having fast for the last 7 days to please rain Gods to appear in their area ( Interestingly in India it actually happens that when there are floods in one area due to excessive rains, other areas go dry without any rain.) So that little girl did not ate anything & did not drank also anything for 7 days to please rain Gods. What happened was that all villagers started worshipping that Girl as Goddess only who shall bring rains for them. Nobody was seeing the plight of that Girl who has not eaten / drank anything for 7 days all together. Of course if she would have died without eating anything, these people would have praised her only that she died for a cause. Ultimately local administration / Police came into action & asked / gave her something to eat to break her fast. Yes, she ate all the fruits / milk etc. given to her, as she was feeling so hungry after having fast for 7 days.........Alas!!!!! rain is still elusive. So what you shall call such Weird people of India????????

Lo, yesterday only all Indian cities were abuzz that all God / Goddess Idols of clay / stone in Temples of India are drinking Milk, when devotees are offering it to God / Goddesses...... Lo, there were queues of devotees all over there in every temple of every city in India having a Pot / Glass of Milk in their hands.......Wonder, how much milk these God / Goddess Idols of clay / stone can Drink? It is nothing but believing in rumors or having blind faith in all such rumors. Actually what happened was that in one temple, some where in one city of India, one stone statue of God was absolutely dry due to summer heat in that place & when someone kept a spoon of milk near it, due to its dryness & Surface Tension phenomenon of science/physics, some milk was sucked in the stone. From there he started shouting all around, that God / Goddess is drinking milk........Lo that news was picked up by some TV News channel & broadcasted all around India.............Lo, all 1000 million people of India started believing that Gods / Goddess in temples are drinking milk........Lo, everybody started proceeding to the temples in every city in India having a Pot / Glass of Milk in their hands.............Oh, what shall happen to these Weird people of India who are so Irrational in their faiths / beliefs..........some times, I wonder how among these Weird people, such innovative software professional are born............God save India from these Weird people.........
