Mumbai, May 13 (NationPress) After his recent retirement from Test cricket, cricketer Virat Kohli, along with his wife and actress Anushka Sharma, made a visit to Vrindavan in Mathura. The couple sought blessings from the esteemed spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj, engaging in a meaningful dialogue about spirituality. They opted for a humble, low-key visit, dedicating time to spiritual contemplation while discussing the journey towards divine enlightenment and achieving inner peace.
During their exchange, Anushka posed a thought-provoking question: “Baba, can simply chanting the Lord’s name lead us to liberation?” Maharaj replied with a warm smile, asking, “Are you happy?” Upon her affirmative nod, he said, “Then it’s all good.”
The official YouTube channel, Bhajan Marg, shared a video capturing Anushka and Virat as they received spiritual wisdom from Swami Premanand. In this video, the spiritual leader shared profound insights about the true essence of divine grace, encouraging believers to transcend material gains and focus on inner transformation. Maharaj highlighted that God’s mercy is not merely about material wealth or worldly rewards; it is about achieving a sense of completeness that transforms one’s inner being.
“When God shows mercy,” he explained, “it is not just a blessing—it is poornata, a sense of wholeness. Even those who have committed sins can attain this completeness. That wholeness doesn't justify the sin, but it brings clarity that can change a life.”
Maharaj further elaborated that genuine change starts from within. “God's grace doesn’t amplify wealth or fame—it alters your inner mindset,” he remarked. “This inner transformation eradicates the negative impressions accumulated over countless lifetimes and paves the way for a brighter future.”
He emphasized that inner transformation eventually reflects in one’s external nature. While external accomplishments such as fame, victories, or wealth may provide temporary happiness, they often leave an inner void. “True peace emanates from within. When God bestows completeness, He reveals a path—His path—the path to ultimate peace.”
This visit occurred shortly after Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, concluding a remarkable 14-year career.
