Today, November 8, marked the eighth Vande Bharat train departing from Kashi, flagging it off from platform number eight between 8 and 9 am. The train also has eight coaches. The Vande Bharat train, running between Varanasi and Khajuraho, will also pass through eight stations.
Local Bhairav Temple priest and astrologer Jitendra Mohan Puri explained here on Saturday that the number eight is associated with the Vande Bharat train from Kashi, which is considered auspicious according to astrological calculations.
Eight is the zodiac sign of Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Saturn. Today is also Saturday, which will make the Vande Bharat Express train a major symbol of the country worldwide.
” If we consider the relationship between the number eight and Kashi, we can see that Ashtang Bhairav is present in Kashi. Vande Bharat will gradually become India’s new identity for the world,” he said.
Puri explained that in astrology, the number eight is known for being ambitious, hardworking, confident, diligent, dedicated, and having excellent leadership qualities, as well as for achievements.
However, the number associated with the train will be very important from the perspective of economic management. It will reach Khajuraho via Kashi, Prayagraj, Vindhyavasini, and Chitrakoot. This means that in the coming days, the world’s interest in Kashi and India’s art, culture, and religion will be seen increasing, he added.
