Yeah, it was funny! The whole time we are watching this movie I
am sitting there thinking it reminded me alot of Ganesh. And at
one point Ewen MacGregor's character says something about 'all
obstacles being removed' and I leaned over to Skydancer, and I
said, hey--that sounds like Ganesh. Up till then I had been
thinking about him that's all. I mean this girl living inside an
elephant and all.....hmmmm.....so then as soon as I verbalized
this to Skydancer the scene suddenly changes and there was a two
or three second long appearance of Ganesh on the screen. He was
black and covered in garlands, and I could not believe it. It
was amazing. I mean, I knew he was hiding there somewhere, and
suddenly there he was, as soon as I told Sky. Wow! bizarre. And
at the end, of course, that pistol somehow passed through all
those hands and ended up flying far away to the Eiffle Tower or
something. Remover of obstacles?....hmmmmm......
I do not tell people to worship Ganesh, since he is a Hindu god
and I do not believe in Hinduism, however, it is neat to know
that God does remove our obstacles for us. I think that's the
main point, not necessarily Christians accepting Hindu
philosophy but seeing how people from different religions have
these basic concepts of God.
