Buzz: Is Lokesh wedding date 'jinxed'?

Numerologists argue that the date fixed for the wedding of former chief minister and Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh is "not auspicious". The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has, however, declared this date (August 26) as auspicious and good for marriages.

The argument put forward by numerologists is that dates like 8,17,26 are not auspicious as far as entering into wedlock is concerned. Numerologist Rachaa Suresh argues that these dates may sound numerically interesting but numerologically they are not.

"The number 8 is as fascinating as its devastating effect on the married life of people who enter into wedlock on these dates," he says.

Numerology do not agree on certain events which come once in a life, like marriage. Numerology believes more in numbers than in heavenly bodies like astrology.

Even the numbers that totals up 8 are 8, 17 and 26 while 5, 14 and 23 totals up 5. Numbers 4, 13, 22 and 31 totals up 4. So dates like 8, 17, 26, 5, 14, 23, 4, 13, 22 and 31 are inauspicious . Either the individual date or date+ month + year sum total should not add up to 8, 5 or 4.
