Het Hindu melk mirakel

Een ongelofelijk verhaal in India, maar ... niet goed genoeg voor Belgische media !!

India kende een melkpenurie en gans het openbare leven lag stil op 21 september 1995 omdat iedereen melk wou geven aan de afbeeldingen van traditionele godheden.
Getuigenissen in Britse krant The Guardian

Eyewitnesses in India began reporting accounts of statues in India drinking milk. The stock market and the federal government closed down in India so that people could feed the statues. This also continued with other statues around the world. This was only Indian statues. Within 72 hours Hindu statues around the world were consuming milk by the liter. Some of the countries were Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia and England. There has been no explanation as of yet but some people feel it was a miracle.

Television, radio and newspapers eagerly covered this unique phenomenon, and even skeptical journalists held their milk-filled spoons to the gods - and watched, humbled, as the milk disappeared. The media coverage was extensive, and although scientists and 'experts' created theories of "capillary absorption" and "mass hysteria", the overwhelming evidence and conclusion was that an unexplainable miracle had occurred.

It all began at dawn in a temple on the outskirts of Delhi, India, when milk offered to a statue of Ganesh just disappeared into thin air. Word spread so quickly throughout India that soon thousands were offering milk to the gods and watching in amazement as it disappeared. Life in India was brought to a virtual standstill as people rushed to temples to see for themselves the drinking gods. Others claimed that small statues in millions of homes around the country were also drinking the offerings of milk.

At one of Delhi's largest temples, the Birla Mandir, Pandit Sunderlal was just coming on duty at 5.30am when he got a call telling him of the miracle in the suburbs. "I went and took a spoon of milk and put it to Ganesh's mouth. He drank it and it became empty. Then I gave Shiva a drink too."

Traffic in Delhi was halted as police struggled to control crowds who gathered outside hundreds of temples with jugs and saucepans of milk for the marble statues of Ganesh, the Hindu God of wisdom and learning, and Shiva, his father, God the Destroyer in the Hindu trinity. Across Delhi, society ladies with silver jugs and tumblers full of milk were standing alongside uneducated laboring women in mile-long queues, awaiting their turn.
At one Delhi temple a priest said more than 5,000 people had visited his temple: "We are having a hard time managing the crowds." A Delhi housewife who had waited two hours to feed the white marble statue of Ganesh said: "The evil world is coming to an end and maybe the Gods are here to help us." Even the cynical professed amazement. "It's unbelievable. My friends told me about it and I just thought it was rubbish," said a Delhi business woman, Mabati Kasori. "But then I did it myself. I swear that the spoon was drained." Parmeesh Soti, a company executive, was convinced it was a miracle. "It cannot be a hoax. Where would all that milk go to? It just disappeared in front of my eyes."

Suzanne Goldenberg, a Delhi-based journalist, reported that: "Inside the darkened shrine, people held stainless steel cups and clay pots to the central figure of the five-headed Shiva, the destroyer of evil, and his snake companion, and watched the milk levels ebb. Although some devotees force-fed the idol enthusiastically, the floor was fairly dry."

India was in pandemonium. The Government shut down for several hours, and trading ground to a halt on stock markets in Bombay and New Delhi as millions in homes and temples around the country offered milk to the gods.

Very soon the news spread to Hindu communities in Singapore, Hong Kong, Nepal, Thailand, Dubai, the United Kingdom, the USA, and Canada. Reports were flooding in from all over the world. In Hong Kong more than 800 people converged on the Hindu temple in Happy Valley to witness the drinking statues of Krishna and Brahma alongside the small silver statue of Ganesh which priests claimed had drunk 20 liters of milk.

In the United Kingdom, Hindus reported miracles taking place in temples and homes around the country. At the Vishwa Temple in Southall, London, 10,000 people in 24 hours witnessed the 15-inch statue of the bull Nandi and a bronze statue of the cobra Shash Naag drinking milk from cups and spoons. Sushmith Jaswal, aged 20, said she was skeptical at first but her doubts vanished with the milk. "It was like a blessing," she said. Nita Mason also witnessed the statue and said, "It is a miracle -- God is trying to show people that he is here." Girish Desai, a bank worker from Edgware said: "I had heard reports but didn't believe it. But I experienced it myself. I held a spoonful of milk to the lips of one of the idols . . . and the statue started sipping it. The milk disappeared as I watched it."

At the Geeta Bhavan Temple in Manchester a 3-inch silver Ganesh lapped up the milk. Rakesh Behl, 35, fed the silver elephant several times and said: "Did you see how quickly Ganesh drank? How can anyone not believe this miracle? This has really inspired my faith." At the Southall home of Asha Ruparelia, 42, a clay statue of Ganesh was drinking the milk in her living room: "It has drunk 20 pints of milk since last night. Nearly 600 people have come round to see it."

Another amazing manifestation occurred at a major Hindu temple in Wimbledon, South London. There, milk offerings to the statue of Ganesh disappeared, and, simultaneously, in a shrine room containing a large photograph of Sai Baba, vibhuti (holy ash) poured from Sai Baba's forehead, and amrit (nectar) flowed from His feet.

Many journalists actively participated in these miraculous events. Rebecca Mae, a DAILY EXPRESS journalist, wrote: "I had a good view from the side and all I can say is that the statue appeared to suck in half a spoonful while it was held level by the worshipper. The rest was sipped reverently by the devotee. A photographer from a national tabloid newspaper was right in front of the statue. And he was convinced it was drinking the milk. He said he could see no mechanism to explain the phenomenon, after scrutinising it at length. As a lapsed Catholic I don't believe in stories of the Virgin Mary shedding tears. Indeed, I would say I was as skeptical as anyone -- but it's difficult to dismiss something you have seen for yourself."

Journalist Suzanne O'Shea also witnessed the miracle. "Following the example of others I knelt on the floor beside the statue of the bull and placed a dessert spoon filled with milk beside its mouth, steadying it with both hands. Within seconds the milk had virtually vanished, leaving just a drop in the spoon that was emptied into my hands so that I could bless myself. I tried a second time, and again the milk seemed to vanish from the spoon within seconds."

Rikee Verma, a journalist from The Times newspaper, wrote: "Being a religious person, I first went to the upstairs bedroom . . . and placed a spoonful of milk against a photograph of Ganesh and was astonished to find within seconds that the spoon was half empty. I checked to make sure that the glass frame of the photograph was not wet. It was dry. I could not believe what I was seeing. This was clearly a message from the gods saying: 'We are here, here's the proof.' I then went to the Sri Ram Mandir [Temple] in Southall. . . . I placed a spoonful of milk underneath the trunk and within seconds the spoon was empty. . . . Others who had witnessed the miracle were filled with emotion. 'Our god has finally come to us,' one said."

While the media and scientists still struggle to find an explanation for these events, many Hindus believe they are a sign that a great teacher has been born. Journalist Rebecca Mae writes: "Most of the worshippers said they only went to the temple occasionally and were certainly not religious fanatics. But they were adamant that a new god had been born to save the world from evil." Krishna Anratar Dubey, a respected Indian astrologer, explained that according to Hindu mythology such miracles happen when a great Soul arrives in the world.

At the Southall temple in London where thousands had witnessed the miracles, the chairman Mr. Bharbari offered his explanation. "All I know is that our Holy Book says that wherever evil prevails on earth then some great Soul will descend to remove the bondage of evil so that right shall reign. We believe this miracle, and those happening at other Hindu temples, may be a sign that a great Soul has descended, like Lord Krishna or Jesus Christ."

Vensterweerkaatsingen ... in een ander licht gezien


Lichtkruisen of andere zogenaamde mirakels hoeven niet pers se ver van ons plaats te vinden, zodat hun bestaan gemakkelijk kan worden afgedaan als bijgeloof en dromerijen van alternaïeven of godsdienstfanaten. De werkelijkheid is dat de meesten van ons niet erg aandachtig leven, het niet verwachten en er dus gewoon vaak aan voorbijlopen.

Het zoveelste bewijs van deze bewering is te vinden in de hierbijgevoegde foto's. De foto's zijn door iemand uit Antwerpen (naam gekend bij de redactie) begin dit jaar in de Antwerpse straten gemaakt: in de Moretuslei, de Bleekhofstraat en de Keyserlei. Voor iedereen zichtbaar. Dus, je zou denken, dat wordt een opmerkelijk kijkstuk voor de mensen uit die buurt? Niets is minder waar. Mensen uit de buurt zijn er gewoon aan voorbijgelopen. Het onderschrijft wat in deze website wordt beweerd, namelijk de beperktheid van het algemeen inzicht in het leven en hiermee samengaand de eenzijdigheid van de berichtgeving. Of komt de beperktheid van inzicht misschien door het eenzijdige aanbod in de opvoeding en de berichtgeving?

Van dit soort tekenen bestaan er honderden in de Westerse wereld, maar deze fenomeen passen blijkbaar niet in het wereldbeeld dat de media als nieuwswaardig voor de medemens bestempelen. Oude stereotiepen en dode fraseringen van de officiële leerstellingen uit de kast halen vragen uiteraard iets minder denkwerk en stellen uiteraard niets in vraag.
Het illustreert hoe ver de officiële kennis afstaat van de echte nog te ontdekken werkelijkheid.

De nieuwe wereldleraar voor het watermantijdperk
na 2000 jaar opnieuw in de wereld

Ondertussen wandelen ondermeer Maitreya en de Meester Jezus doodleuk (hoewel dat misschien niet hun stemming helemaal omschrijft) door de steden van elk continent, creëren ervaringen voor duizenden mensen van alle geloven en godsdiensten en eveneens niet-gelovers, onderzoeken wat gaande is in elk land, delen de tram of bus met sommigen onder ons, ontmoeten mensen op elk uur van de dag via zelf-gecreëerde genii. Dat we dat niet begrijpen vanuit onze eigengereide dogmatische kennis is alleen op ons eigen conto te schrijven. Het ontbreekt niet aan informatie, wel de wil om het bekend te maken en erover na te denken.

Als de Paus in zijn recente Paasboodschap spreekt om Jezus toe te laten in ons huis, dan beseft hij waarschijnlijk amper hoe reëel en letterlijk die boodschap is.
Paus Benedictus en zijn voorganger zijn op de hoogte gesteld van de aanwezigheid van Maitreya in zijn rol van huidig wereldleraar en dus Christus. Veel Amerikaanse en westeuropese fundamentalistische christenen kennen dit verhaal en ... zijn er ongelofelijk bang van. Net zoals de media en zogenaamd rationele wetenschappelijk denkende mensen, die het leven herleiden tot een wetenschappelijke toevalligheid zonder plan of doel.

Maar waarom bang zijn? Waarom geen kans geven aan deze nieuwe manier van denken?
Het oplossen van de onrechtvaardige ongelijkheden, van nutteloze oorlogen, zelfdodingen, aanslagen, terrorisme en de ontelbare brandhaardjes her en der in de wereld is geen makkie en zal geen gemakkelijke taak zijn ook niet als Maitreya en de Meesters van Wijsheid hun inzicht en wereldkennis openlijk ter beschikking zullen kunnen stellen van de totale mensheid.
Maar anderzijds, welke andere oplossing is er? De problemen trachten oplossen met de manier van denken, die aan de oorsprong ligt van de huidige impasse, is ondenkbaar en onmogelijk.

De kruisen van licht

Tien jaar geleden had niemand er ooit van gehoord. Vandaag verbijstert het mensen in elk werelddeel: kruisen van licht die van de ene op de andere seconde te voorschijn komen in ramen.

Honderden gevallen zijn er bekend geworden, en er komen er steeds meer bij. Soms duiken er vele in een gebouw op. Bij een kerkje in het Amerikaanse plaatsje Knoxville lijken ze wel twaalf meter hoog.De verklaringen lopen, zoals gewoonlijk bij dit soort fenomenen, sterk uiteen. Al enkele weken voor het eerste kruis van licht werd gesignaleerd, beloofde Benjamin Creme dat Maitreya de wereld zou gaan verbazen met een hoogst ongewoon licht-verschijnsel.

De eerste verscheen in 1988 in een appartement in El Monte (USA), bewoond door Margaret Romero en haar man. Beschrijving door ooggetuige Mona LaVine: Een kruis van een bleek gouden licht en gewoon erg mooi. Het leek alsof het niet in het raam zelf zat, maar op een kleine afstand erachter, als een hologram.."Margaret Romero liet twee glasmaatschappijen het raam onderzoeken. Een van de glazeniers, die 30 jaar lang met glazen ramen had gewerkt, zei dat hij nog nooit zoiets had gezien en er geen verklaring voor had.Ze liet het glas vervangen door een raam van een van de buren, maar het kruis bleef schijnen. Het kruis werd kleiner en de contouren scherper als je er water over werd gegoten.

Benjamin Creme in an interview about UFO's Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters

The number of crop circles is increasing all over the world. They have always been there, but only in small numbers. They are increasing because the plan of the Space Brothers — in relation to the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet — is to speed up the creation of this magnetic field of energy on the physical plane on the Earth to do with the coming technology. Why now? Because the whole process is speeding up. Because our own Spiritual Hierarchy, the Masters and high initiates of the Spiritual Hierarchy of this planet, are returning to the everyday world.

They have not been out of the world, but They have been hidden away in the mountains and deserts of the world for thousands and thousands of years. They have been working behind the scenes but now They are externalizing Their work and are beginning to appear. Already, to my knowledge, there are 14 Masters living openly as men in the world, and the Master of all the Masters, the World Teacher, the Lord Maitreya, as He is named in the Spiritual Hierarchy, the One Christians call the Christ. The reason so many crop circles appear in southern England is because Maitreya lives in London, His ‘point of focus’ in the modern world. They are meant, subtly, to allude to that fact.

Website concerning crop circles: (http://www.lovely.clara.net/education.html)
Crop circles generally form at night between the hours of 2-4 am, traditionally during the shortest evenings of the English year when darkness lasts but four hours. A lucky few have witnessed large balls of incandescent colour project a beam of golden light into a field which next morning displays a new crop circle. During surveillance project in 1989 a Japanese TV crew filmed a crop circle manifesting in the early hours of the morning, showing a swirl motion of energy lasting less than fifteen seconds. Such a rapid rate of creation confirmed the unpublished eyewitness reports.
At Stonehenge in 1996 (bottom, left), a pilot reported seeing nothing unusual while flying above the monument at 4:15pm, yet 15 minutes later a second pilot reported this huge 900 ft formation resembling the Julia Set computer fractal. Comprising 149 circles and aligned along a spiral curve, it lay within view of the well-patrolled monument. It took a team of 11– including myself – no less than five hours just to survey the formation.

The Weeping and Bleeding Statue in Bolivia
http://www.visionsofjesuschrist.com/weeping68.htm

This famous image of Christ shed tears of human blood During Holy Week of 1995, the miraculous occurrence took place

repeatedly during the recital of the Rosary. Since then, the number of devotees to the Crying Christ have grown to around a thousand, one hundred of which were standing in front of the statue when its eyes shed tears. The watery liquid afterward transformed into a blood-like substance that gives an impressive countenance on the face of Christ.. This weeping icon is closely associated with the visionaries Catalina Rivas and Nancy Fowler. "Since 1995, various scientific studies of the icon have taken place, the conclusions of which are astounding and underline the fact that Cochabamba has fast become the center of a supernatural event. Recordings have been made of the crying, samples have been taken and sent to the laboratory. And lastly, the statue itself has been subjected to computerised examination. A laboratory report put together in April 1995 outlined the fact that the liquid analysed was "hemoglobin, hetero protein of a red colour that exists in hematoid, or red globules."

Auto zonder chauffeur
MD uit Boulder, VS

Ongeveer tien jaar geleden, in 1986, reden mijn dochter, een hummel van een kleinzoon, mijn twee zusters en ik van Californië naar Las Vegas. We bevonden ons in de woestijn op een tweebaansweg toen een lange limousine-achtige auto ons begon in te halen. Een man met een witte tulband op en zo te zien een wit kostuum of een wit gewaad keek ons aan vanaf de passagiersstoel. Het leek alsof dit in vertraagde beelden plaatsvond. De man bleef ons maar aankijken. Hij had een heel mooi gezicht en mooie ogen en hij keek alleen maar. Terwijl de wagen ons langzaam voorbij reed, realiseerden we ons dat hij de enige inzittende was.We begonnen allemaal tegelijk te praten — wie reed er, wie is hij en waar ging hij heen? — de auto was verdwenen. We dachten dat we gek waren geworden, maar we hadden allemaal hetzelfde gezien.".

In the Russian Orthodox Church of Our Lady the Joy of All Who Sorrow, located in Philadelphia, PA an icon (see left) of St. Righteous Anna was found to have been weeping myrrh since November, 2004. Since the discovery of myrrh coming from the icon, many miracles occurred in the lives of the faithful who venerated the icon and was anointed by its myrrh. The Russian Orthodox Church of Our Lady the Joy of All Who Sorrow states the following: His Eminence visited our Church's Miraculous icon and it declared authentic.

His Eminence Metropolitan Laurus, First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia graciously visited our parish to celebrate our feast day with us as we inaugurate our 55th year as a parish family and the 30th year of ordination for our Rector. Not only was the icon of the parish's feast day honored but the miraculous medieval Kursk Root icon of the Mother of God was in the church for the veneration of the faithful.
