CBN's Sharp Brain In His Son's Marriage Issue

In August this year TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu's son Lokesh will get married. So what's the big deal? You might think....but it has deep political and family connotations.

Chandrababu Naidu had married legendary late N.T.R's daughter Bhuvaneshwari. They have a son named Lokesh.

Now Lokesh is getting married to Brahmani, daughter of N.T.R’s son actor Balakrishna. Balakrishna is Bhuvaneshwari's younger brother....which means Lokesh is marrying his mama Balakrishna's daughter (a common phenomenon in Andhra Pradesh).

After N.T.R's death, none of his sons matched NTR's charisma. Naidu took advantage of this and staged a bloodless coup in 1995 to overthrow N.T.R and establish his own empire in TDP. Though this did not go well with NTR’s sons, they had no option but to be under jijaji’s (read Chandrababu Naidu’s ) rule.

After Naidu and TDP lost in the 2004 general elections there was a talk that one of N.T.R's sons would take active political role....and the name that was circulating was that of Balakrishna's.

Now with this match, Naidu has hit two birds with one shot, got much closer to N.T.R's family and applied a halt to Balakrishna's political plans.

Though marriage will not be a grand affair, it will have a far reaching impact on TDP politics...which has dash of cinematic appeal.

For the record Lokesh is currently pursuing his MBA from Stanford University in USA and Brahmani was appearing for second year engineering examinations.

And interestingly, Naidu confirmed the marriage proposal just a day before party's annual conclave – Mahanadu.

Balakrishna & NTR's family still has a huge following and sympathy....with this one stroke Naidu will erase all the past memories and will emerge much more stronger within the party, in the NTR family, among the fans, and in the rank & file of the Telugu Desam Party.

That's why Chandrababu Naidu is known as shrewd person..

Balancing Nandamuri and Konidela Families!

Nandamuri Chaitanya Krishna, the second son of Hari Krishna is debuting as hero shortly. He already acted in the film 'Dham' of Jagapathi Babu long back. That's known news yesterday.

A balancing act and attempt to make the equation balanced is going on between Nandamuri and Konidela families. If a new guy emerges from Konidela family, Nandamuri family also releases one. Already there is talk that Konidela family is dictating many terms to film industry now either directly or indirectly.

Chiranjeevi, Allu Aravind, Pawan Kalyan, Nagababu, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan Teja are already there on the hot pad now. On the other hand Balakrishna, Hari Krishna, NTR, Taraka Ratna and Kalyan Ram are there. Now Chaitanya Krishna is also adding to them. On the other hand there is news that Chiranjeevi's sister's son is also hitting tinsel town shortly.

It is also stated that Konidela family as a hold on about 400 theaters in AP. More the number of stars from the same family, those theaters will be dedicated for their films only.

So to combat this scenario, good encouragement is being given for every young guy in big film families.

Vedas: The Hidden Power of Ancient Indian Scriptures

The rituals prescribed in the ancient Indian Scriptures, particularly the Vedas, are capable of reducing atmospheric pollution by controlling the pollutants (evil energy). Several studies conducted by the Institute of Scientific Research on Vedas, Hyderabad, showed that pollution could be checked by spreading "positive energy" generated through Vedic rituals like Homas and circumambulation of holy trees and plants.

The human "aura" could be increased to a considerable extent for positive signs through intervention of Vedic rituals and holy trees and plants mentioned in the Indian Scriptures.

According to Sri Kuppa Krishna Murthy of the Vedic Research Institute, Vedic rituals not only fight pollutants in the atmosphere but also cleanse the harmful elements like bacteria, virus and protozoans living as parasites in the human bodies.

Vedic research scholar Dr Mannem Murthy, who conducted a series of studies on the positive aspects of Vedic rituals, points out "these experiments can be an eye opener to present scientists and critics of the ancient Indian system. Medicinal plants, gems and precious stones, regular usage of sacred flowers and organising homas and Vedic rituals are a few ways of protecting environment and minimising pollution levels both inside and outside our bodies".

Research studies by the Institute of Scientific Research on Vedas at different places in Andhra Pradesh recently showed that a few trees mentioned in the ancient texts like Tulasi (holy basil), Jammi (Bulrush tree), Ravi (Peepul tree) and Neem exclusively possess and emit positive energy through which negative energy of man can be swiped away. There are some trees, which many people worship, has aura extending beyond human aura. "It is surprising to know that a 5 feet and five inches and 60 to 70 kgs man would have 2.5 metres aura whereas 1ft and 5 inches height Tulasi plant, weighing hardly 150 gms, gives 6.11 metres of aura," Dr Mannem Murthy points out.

In an experiment conducted through a universal scanner on Neem and Peepul trees in a Shiva temple in Eluru recently. Before the start of the experiment, the aura of a person was scanned and it was found to be extending to 2.5 mts. Later, he was asked to stand for five minutes near the Peepul and Neem trees and his aura was noted again. This time it was 3.35 mts. He was asked to make 11 rounds (circumambulation). He did so and his final aura was recorded as 4.0 mts. There was an increase in the person's aura from 2.5 mts to 4 mts i.e. 1.5 mts.

In another experiment in Eluru in Balaji temple on a fig tree, a person's initial aura was measured as 2.58 mts. His aura was 5.01 mts after circumambulating 11 times around the fig tree. There was an increase of 2.58 mts in his aura.

Says Krishna Murthy, "like a needle obtains magnetic properties after being rubbed against a magnet, we humans too get our aura increased after standing or sitting in the shade of certain trees. By moving around some species of trees or sacred objects, man absorbs some quantity of positive aura".

In several experiments the aura of sacred trees mentioned in Hindu epics was measured using a universal scanner. The results (in metres) are: banyan 10.10; Kadambam 8.40; Tulasi (Osmium 6.11; jammi (Prosobis spicegera) 5.90; neem and raavi 5.50; Maredu (Aegle marmalus) 4.80; Medi (Ficus carcia) 4.55; Usiri (Amla) 4.30; Raavi (Ficus religiosa) 3.50; Mango (mangifera indica) 3.50 and neem 3.50.

Like trees, even flowers too emit aura and increase the positive energy of man. The fragrance and colours of flowers have different wave lengths. The floral aura of different flowers in metres are: Deva ganneru (Divine oleander) 7.2; Lotus 6.8; Rose 5.7; Mandaram (Hibiscus) 5.5; Yellow ganneru (Oleander) 5.0; Marigold 4.7; Lilly 4.1; Yellow chrysantemum 3.6; Violet chrysantemum 3.1; Jasmine 3.3; Jajulu 3.1 and Kankambaralu 3.0. White calotrophis, which is used for Shiva puja, has maximum aura of 15 mts. But they are poisonous (positive high aura).

Vedic experiments also showed that the aura energies of precious stones are useful for human health. The auras of precious stones measured in metres are: emerald (mercury) 3.20; diamond (Venus) 7.5; white pearl (moon) 3.48; yellow sapphire (Jupiter) 3.20; ruby (sun) 3.30; red coral (Mars) 8.80; Cat's eye (Ketu) 3.60; Blue sapphire (Saturn) 2.4; Gomeda (Rahu) 3.00.

In a Vedic ritual at Jillelamudi in Guntur district, dry stems of raavi, rice grains, cow ghee and the idols of Lakshmi, Ganapathi and Subrahmanya were used. The initial aura was 5.10 mts and the final aura was 62.0 mt. The atmosphere purified was 4988220 cu.m. In another experiment at Palacole, a square shaped homagundum was formed and the leaves of Raavi, Medi, Jammi, Garika, Darbha, Jilledu, Tendla, cow ghee, maredu and nine varieties of grain were used. The initial aura was 6.5 mts and the final aura was 102 mts.
