Gangtok Ganesha Milk Drinking Miracle incident (1995)

It was the month of September and the year 1995; I was a science student of class xii at the famous TNSSS, Gangtok. One fine day, a rumour flew fast around the town of Gangtok that rock looking like an elephant's trunk discovered during the construction of the building near our school was drinking milk. It was something we never had heard of.

I, with a few of my school friends, hurried to see what was happening? Upon reaching the site, I found crowds gathered around the crushed rock (but I could not find it like an elephant's trunk) being fed milk with a spoon by a lady and a few other ladies waiting for their turn. The milk would disappear when the spoon touched the rock as if the rock was sipping it within. The scene was amazing and more of magic, unexplained.

Soon, the news spread that the statues of Lord Ganesha were drinking milk in temples around Gangtok and even at homes. Reaching home, the magical occurrence had spread across the nation and was talked about on every news channel. Some said it to be a surface tension phenomenon. For more than 16 years now we never had that surface tension act repeated.
