Saturday Snapshot: July 13, 2013

I am a Hindu and I visit temples. We believe GOD is everywhere. Here you see my brother being blessed by an elephant. I too have a similar photo but decided not to share that. Mind you, that trunk WAS heavy!! BTW, Lord Ganesha is our elephant God!!

Blessed!!

I'll bet that trunk is really heavy. Your brother is trusting to let an elephant do that. Nice shot!

I'd be afraid to pose like that.

It's fine as long as the elephant doesn't have the sniffles! I bet a lot of temple visitors have similar pics - what a great souvenir.

I think that is really brave. I'm not sure I would be so trusting of such a large animal.

What an interesting custom - do you only get blessed by an elephant once, or can you go back at a different stage in your life, or to a different temple in a differerent place? My snapshot is at http://goo.gl/LUiDP

Hi Gautami,

As I was researching Lord Ganesha, to discover a little more about the customs surrounding this creature, I couldn't help but think that I would be quite happy if the blessing involved one of the many Lord Ganesha icons, however I wouldn't be quite so comfortable when coming face to face with the real thing!

Your brother was very trusting, but then I guess that is the whole point of having faith in a God.

A nice picture to capture the moment and to remember the experience by, thanks for sharing.

Hindu was my favorite religion to study in my college religion class. I love this shot of your brother.
