GUWAHATI: Astrologer Pulin Chandra Sarma says that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s chosen time for lighting flames, torches or mobiles flashes is heavily laden with astrological significance.

Nine, according to Sarma, is related to Mars (Mangal Graha). The red rays being emanated from the Mars is known for defeating enemies or evils. This apart, the red rays give one courage and enthusiasm for fighting anything evil.

Why has the Prime Minister chosen April 5? This too has a Mars effect. April is the 4th month of the calendar year that (4) when added to the date ‘5’ gives 9. In similar astronomical logic, the Prime Minister has also chosen 9 pm for 9 minutes for lighting flames as that gives the triple effect of Mars making us three-time more powerful and enthusiast to defeat anything evil.
