After Test Retirement, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma Visit Vrindavan, Seek Blessings from Premanand Maharaj:

Suspense crime, Digital Desk : On Monday, the entire nation was shocked when Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket. While fans were clearly angry, the cricketer accompanied his wife Anushka Sharma to Delhi and just a day later, the two were spotted in Vrindavan.

While in Vrindavan, they visited the ashram of spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj. Clips of this visit emerged online, which showcased the couple in yellow attires, as they respectfully received and listened to the spiritual advice of the Guru.

Virtue vs Grace by Premanand Maharaj

In the uploaded footage, Premanand Maharaj greets the couple and initiates a spiritual talk Introducing his concepts he said, “When God bestows blessings on someone, acquiring wealth or fame is not considered grace but virtue. Even those who have sinned can obtain these because of past virtues. But real grace is when God transforms a person's inner thinking.”

It was evident that he is trying to explain that change of inward decisons not outward activities is the real mark of God’s grace.

He reflected on his thoughts by revisiting the quote:

“Graces of God come first in the company of saints, and later in adversity. That adversity shows the reality of the world and encourages detachment. Without adversity, worldly attachments prevail. Only in trying times do we begin to comprehend the reality of life and the world.”

The Impact of Repeating ‘Radhe’

Premanand Maharaj has also strongly advocated the spiritual importance of chanting “Radhe” to both Virat and Anushka towards the end of the conversation. He requested both of them to make it a point to do so regularly. They humbly accepted and bowed as they agreed.

This visit, both simplistic and laden with devotion, depicts a deep personal and spiritual turn within the couple's journey—most especially after an important career milestone for Kohli.
