Good morning everybody! What is so special about today?
Today is 07.07.07. The triple seven date is a rare combination.
If a string of seven brings luck, this might be the best day. In the U.S., thousands of couples have chosen this date for their wedding. I am not sure how the planets and stars are on this date but certainly it is an easy anniversary date to remember.
Seven is considered by many as a lucky number and is symbolic in religion and numerology. Here are some sevens:
- In the musical scale, we have the 'Saptaswaras', the seven fundamental notes.
- There are seven days of the week.
- In Indian astronomy, the number of Rishis appearing in a constellation is called "Saptharishi Mandalam".
- In Hindu weddings, the couple take the 'Sapthapati', the seven holy steps.
- Christianity refers to seven virtues and seven deadly sins.
- Lord Venkateswara's abode is known as 'Sapthagiri' , meaning seven hills.
- We have seven wonders of the world.
- In the casino slot machines, the numbers 7-7-7 hits the jackpot.
- 7-Up is a popular soft drink. Some of you may remember 77 cola drink that was launched in 1977 in India following the withdrawal of coco-cola.
- In North America, phone numbers have seven digits, besides the area code.
- 7 AM is considered a good time to begin the day. Remember 7'O Clock razor blades?
Everybody knows about 007 - the famous James Bond. Any more on 'sevens' ?
