Narendra Modi asking you switch off lights for 9 Mins on 9 PM is extremely interesting. That is the time Moon will be at the centre of the 'nakshatra' called Revati. Switching off the lights will ensure the rays of Moon lighten up our homes and kill the virus

Masterstroke by PM Modi. One cannot stop admiring him. When billions of people will burn candles and diyas together, it'll release a huge amount of heat and light energy into the atmosphere. This will increase the atmospheric temperature and Coronavirus can't survive.
