Mour Dhwaj - Many times I have wondered what is the significance of this name given to this train. I even tried to deduce it from the literal meaning Mour - Peacock and Dhwaj - Flag. But as you can see, we can't really know what is the meaning of this.
This Sunday, while visiting The temple of Mata Chintpurni Ji, I was reading the posters on the walls and read a familiar name, 'Mour Dhwaj'. The whole story was written there along with the pictures, unfortunately I couldn't click a photo but here is the story in brief -
Arjuna...

So, after the war of Mahabharata was over, Lord Krishna told Arjuna that he has a devotee who is greater than him and he is King 'Mour Dhwaj'. Lord Krishna took the disguise of a Priest and reached to the king, and told him that his lion, who is a canibal, is hungry. The whole story can be read here -

please wait...Translate to EnglishI was mad curious about the name "Mour Dhwaj" of the train, man. Tried to figure it out from the words Peacock and Flag. But couldn't get the real deal. Then, at a temple, saw a poster about it. Turns out, it's about this devotee King 'Mour Dhwaj' who was even bigger fan of Lord Krishna than Arjuna. Krishna pulled a sneaky move to prove it.

That's likely why the train got that groovy name.
please wait...Translate to HindiMour Dhwaj - Bahot baar socha hai maine ki is train ko yeh naam kyun diya gaya hai. Maine toh soch lia tha ke literal meaning se iska matlab nikalun Mour - Mor aur Dhwaj - Jhanda. Par dekho, asli meaning ka pata nahi chal raha.
Is Sunday, jab main Mata Chintpurni Ji ke temple gaya tha, toh walls pe lage posters padh raha tha aur ek familiar name dekha, 'Mour Dhwaj'. Pura story likha hua tha wahan pictures ke saath, unfortunately maine photo nahi lia par yaha story short mein hai -
Arjuna ko lagta tha ki woh Lord Krishna ka sabse bada devotee hai, par Krishna ne keh dia ki unke aur bhi bade devotee hain. Toh, Mahabharata ke yudh ke baad, Lord Krishna ne Arjuna ko bataya ki unke pass ek devotee hai jo unse bada hai aur woh hai King 'Mour Dhwaj'. Lord Krishna ne ek Pujari banke rup mein King ke paas jaake kaha ki unka sher, jo ek kannibal hai, bhukha hai. Pura story yahan padh sakte hain -
