Celebrity couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma have once again demonstrated that their spiritual beliefs form a core pillar of their lives, amidst immense fame and professional success. The pair, known for their grounded nature, recently made a quiet visit to the holy town of Vrindavan, drawing public attention through a viral social media video.
A Third Pilgrimage for Spiritual Guidance
On Tuesday, the couple travelled to Vrindavan specifically to seek blessings from spiritual leader Premanand Ji Maharaj. This marked their third documented visit to the revered figure, having previously met him in January and May of 2025. The visit underscores their consistent effort to prioritise faith and inner peace away from the public glare.
In the widely circulated video, Kohli and Sharma are seen sitting humbly before Maharaj, dressed in simple attire. They greet him with deep respect and listen intently to his sermon, their calm and devoted presence resonating with fans. The couple successfully maintained a low profile, keeping the moment intimate and sincere.
Premanand Maharaj's Message: Work as Service and the Path to God
The spiritual leader imparted profound advice to the couple, urging them to deepen their devotion. He advised them to view their professional endeavours as a form of divine service. "Apne karya shetra ko bhagwaan ki seva samajiye, ghambir bhav sey rahiye aur khup naam jaap kijiye," Maharaj said, translating to, "Consider your field of work as service to God, remain sincere and serious in your intent, and chant God's name wholeheartedly."
Maharaj further elaborated on choosing the divine over worldly comforts. He encouraged seeking a personal connection with God, describing the Creator as beautiful, worthy, and loving. He stated that once one truly desires God above all worldly pleasures, all comforts naturally align at the divine feet.
An Emotional Connection and the Tradition of Guidance
During the interaction, Anushka Sharma was visibly moved, expressing her heartfelt connection by saying, "Hum aapke hai maharaj ji, aur aap humare" (We belong to you, Maharaj ji, and you belong to us). Premanand Maharaj gently expanded this sentiment, reminding that everyone ultimately belongs to the divine, under the one canopy of the sky.
Explaining the spiritual journey, Maharaj used the powerful metaphor of holding hands. He described life's path as one where we move forward by holding the hand of a guide—a deity, teacher, or Guru—who in turn is guided by another. This continuous chain represents the traditional parampara (lineage) where individuals rely on the strength and wisdom of their predecessors to navigate their spiritual path. He humbly noted that he himself holds his Guru's hand for guidance.
This repeated visit by one of India's most famous couples highlights a growing narrative of celebrities seeking solace and purpose beyond material success. Their choice to share such moments, albeit unintentionally through viral clips, reinforces the enduring importance of spirituality and groundedness in contemporary Indian life.
