o maiyyā morī, maiń nahiń mākhan khāyo

(1)

bhor bhayo gaiyana ke pāche

(tune) madhubana mohi paṭhāyo

cara prahara vaḿśī vata bhaṭakyo

sāñjha pade ghara āyo

(maiyyā, maiń kab mākhan khāyo)

(2)

maiń bālaka vahi yan ko choṭo choṭo

yeh chīko vidhī pāyo

yeh gvāla bāla sab bair pade haiń

bar-bas mukha lapaṭāyo

(3)

yeh le apani lakuṭa kambalīya

bahuta hī nāca nacāyo

jiye tere kuch bheda upaj hai

tuhe mohe jāñyo, parayo jāñyo

sūra dāsa tab hasī yaśodā

le ura kaṇṭha lagāyo

(naina nīra bharī āyo)

(te nahin mākhan khāyo)

Alochana-Capillary Action

‘Milk-gulping’ Shiva
Thursday August 14 2008 10:55 IST
ROURKELA: Call it a scientific process or a miracle, stone images of Lord Shiva and His carrier Nandi reportedly gulped milk in Sundargarh district. Hundreds of devotees thronged the Shiva temple at Gopabandhupali here and reportedly fed both the divine objects milk and water. Scientists attributed the cause to capillary action.

This is not the first time this incident has happened. September 21st., 1995-Hindus all over the world observed this phenomenon.

I guess it is time that we realised two things:
1) Science either has an explanation about the things we call "miracles" or there exists one but it still hasn't be discovered.
2) We don't need miracles to have faith
