Holding the image of a youth icon is the most prestigious and responsible thing. And it is usually the young hot heroes or sports stars who fill that slot. But here is one man who seems to have broken that tradition. He is none other than Chaganti Koteshwara Rao and he has become the latest icon not just for oldies but also to the youngsters, according to many.
He is not a young man with clean shave, no glamour, does not wear a jeans pant. He is not related to cinema or any entertainment field. He is from devotion background and is into spiritual discourses. He is a regular feature in Bhakti TV, always clad in traditional Telugu attire and speaking in pure Sankritised Telugu without any contemporary fashionable English words.
But still he is the youth icon. Whoever has heard his discourses they are becoming big addicts to his preaching. Any topic if that is convincing and hitting people will get glued. Even those who criticize everyone and everything are also saying “He is an exception sir!!”. Even the media which always likes to highlight negative stuff and promote it is agreeing to this fact.
Among days like these, Chaganti Koteshwara Rao is preaching Dharma and mesmerizing people of all ages. He is 50 plus but still he is youth icon.
To quote an example, it is heard that many youth in US are listening to his speeches and his explanation of various holy shrines. They are recording all that, coming to India and visiting these places. Even in the flight, they are listening to his discourses in Ipad. That way, Chaganti is promoting the spiritual tourism to the max. Just through Bhakti channel he is getting promoted like this. If he sits on a big canvas and star heroes listen to him then society will improve a lot better.
There has been following for his http://www.srichaganti.net/ among NRIs and software professionals in India.
