Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed the nation a couple of days ago regarding the Coronavirus scare. He called for a Janta Curfew on the 22nd of this month. He asked people to confine themselves to indoors between 7 AM to 9 PM. It looks like the Government is testing the co-operation of the people in case the situation leads to a complete shutdown.
Modi also called for the people to clap their hands or ring bells exactly at 5 PM that day to thank the doctors, nurses, paramedics, and others who are risking their lives to help the people in this crisis time. A siren will be blown across the country exactly at 5 PM.
A few people have different theories about why those clappings and bell-ringing exactly at 5 PM. “It has a direct co-relation with science. At that time Moon is passing to a new ‘nakshatra’ called Revati. The playing of bells and clapping: The cumulative vibration will encourage blood circulation in the body. It’s the reason they used to have huge, gong-like bells in old Shakti temples in the mountains. Mountains are full of tiny, meat-eating insects. The booming bell makes them jittery.
Wonder if the Prime Minister really had that intent or Scientific connection but then, why not some theory which will prompt people to do a good deed?
