Namaste:
I realize this anecdotal message is not going to contribute to a scholarly
discussion on the subject, so feel free to stop here ...
I was at the Calabasis Balaji Temple for Mahasivaratri Monday night
(that is near Malibu, Calif.) Near me a little girl was being hoisted
on her father's shoulder to watch gallon after gallon after gallon of
milk cascading over the Shiva Lingam. She said, "Daddy, why are they
pouring milk on the Lord?" He said, "Because Lord likes it."

Subject: PICTURE OF SAVITRI
A library patron has requested help in finding some work of
Indian fine art illustrating the story of Savitri and Satyavan
for use in publishing a translation or version of it. Is anyone
aware of one of the top of their head?
Thanks,
