A day after Virat Kohli declared retirement from Test cricket, the legendary cricketer and wife actress Anushka Sharma took a spiritual outing to Vrindavan. The couple had visited spiritual guru Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in search of blessings and advice on Tuesday morning.
Spiritual Reflections and Inner Peace
A recently-viral video from their trip captures the couple sitting in front of Premanand Maharaj, paying close attention to his wisdom about devotion, humility, and enlightenment. At one moment, the guru respectfully asks them, “Prasann ho?” (Are you happy?), and both Virat and Anushka smile and nod eagerly.
Premanand Maharaj underscored the fact that genuine grace from the Lord is not in wealth or popularity but in inner change and peace. Kohli and Anushka both looked deeply touched and respectful during the encounter, which showed their increasing spiritual bent.
