Hindu deity statues drink milk! Christian deity statues shed tears! What does it denote? Basic philosophy?
More on this question: -
My statement is based on News Paper reports and I take it as symbolic and not real. A Hindu friend of mine once asked me why 'sorrow' is an integral part of Christianity. In Christianity we observe sadness everywhere. Very seldom we see pictures of our deities smiling. We pray and plead for blessings crying. The blessings brokers around us cry out to reach out! Those who take part in church mass and evangelical brokering cry. Even our holy verses follow in line. Could you kindly explain this odd philosophy? I admit my ignorance. Please correct me if I am wrong! I need your enlightenment on this.

Do not believe on such things.
OTHER ANSWERS: -
1. I think a lot of this kind of "sorrow" was spread by Paul (New Testament). Read about him if you get the chance. He was an incredibly negative person
2. Not every thing can be explained
Science has theory but what is opinion
Tears can be happy or sad; tears indicate overwhelming emotions or physical /emotional re-action
3. It denotes the fact that we all live in a really, really screwed up world.
4. That is why I like Hinduism Hinduism is so full of life ... so full of color ... so full of reverence for life ... and the gods marry and squabble and have families ...and are brave and bold and do feats and grant boons .... and do good works ... and there is so much fun: from mithai and new clothes to beautiful traditions, to the most fun religious art in the whole world.... Hinduism is just full of fun! Who else has garlands of fresh flowers to offer their gods, who else has the most beautiful words for the great gods, the most interesting concepts of what they are ... and the most routes to God ....
5, Pooh Bah on all that sadness!!! I don't know what is wrong, but I do know that if you offer joy to someone who is not ready for it ..... it does not take root!
6. I am a Hindu, and I think gods drinking milk, water is rubbish. How can an idol do that? It is a made up work of priests just to attract people and collect more offerings.
I don’t know much about Christianity, but ya, there must be reasons for sorrow/happiness
7. (I have presented the answer as it is) Have you seen road side "madariwala" (Mismeragian) ? he shifts belongings of one pocket to another, the great Jadoogars even make a person disappear. What is this? Let me ask you, why do we mostly worship deity statue and not living entity ? In Islam the followers say we don't worship deity statue, what is the Mosque ? Is it not a form of imagined deity statue? In Himachal Pradesh (India) spiritual flames at Jwalaji continues to flame since when it is not known and even the many researchers & Govt. bodies made many efforts to turn it off or to reach to its' origin but of no use. Today also pilgrims, tourists visits, around the clock, this Religious site to view & worship ! What would you say ? I have stated only one! There are many more worshiping places like this where I had been in person and the strange is continued un-hindered, even after interference. I would say this is faith to be disciplined and it won't be taught as any educational stream. So continue to believe so long you are alive & wouldn't get truthful proper answer to deviate from.
I say this way that it is a blind believe! & are being followed to unite the humanity. I understand this is seed of "BHAKTIMARG" (by method of praying, preaching meditating etc.) which leads person to know more & more in "UNIVERSE" through his internal power hidden in him and which is not possible to be known by teaching in any educational institution ( ofcource very very few attain a position to know or real God, even I don't accept that Lord Bubdha, Vishwamitra, Paramhansh, Swamy Vivekanand, Lord Isha Masiha, Prophet Mohamad, Swamy Mahaveer Teerthankar (of Jains) Gurunanak Dev, Lord Parasuram and many many more couldn't do it in thier life time, what we follow today " their achievement" is their gains of "BHAKTI" brought to us by their disciples and not by any educational / professional institute). Every one can't reach that stage from where they would have disciples to propagate good thoughts in society to follow & to lead balanced day-to-day life for common man. This is nothing but to bring in to the mass " discipline" to live & progress! Who does I? I never try to know & do not believe it blindly but at the same time don't have reason to disbelieve it also. Question doesn't remain unsolved! Answer is, to become part of the mass to put in efforts to find the answer to believe this all in true sense with better change expected to be brought out by deviation on finding answer
8. Fake, Fake, Fake
9. I am Hindu, and what is it about milk? I don’t get it. WHAT milk? We cry, too. Crying and sorrow are not limited to Christianity. Sorrow is important. w/o sorrow, how would u appreciate happiness? (Neha)
Neha, you are Hindu and yet you don't know about Ganesha's milk miracle? Twice? (jade)
10. Hindsu believe that if you serve the Devtas they will bless you. While Christians believe that the saint was a son of god, but the people could not recognise him and was not treated well so sheds tears.
11. I know that it has actually happened but cant say why I am not a Christian but I think that the Christian deities are mostly seen in a sad state because it denotes that they take upon themselves the pain and suffering in the world hence Christ's crucifixion and also that it pains them to see the pathetic state of people.
12. Will nobody understand the reason behind? I want to disclose it in people's interest. It was a test of people's faith in devotion. It is not a matter of idol drinking milk but God drinking milk. When you have kept an idol in a temple as a live God then don't remind your self often that it is nothing but just a stone otherwise every action and not just milk will be meaningless. We offer clothes, garlands, food, even milk in everyday Puja (ritual), nothing new about it. We must feel that whatever we offer, God accepts it. Never mind if the idol does not actually drink but you must feel and say God is drinking milk because God is live and not merely an idol. Be wisdom shed upon people.

13. Perhaps this is being done to draw people near reality and experience the blessings of God
