Premanand Maharaj: 'Ye Pure Bharat Ko Khush Kartey...’ Viral Kohli, Anushka Sharma and Family Visit Guruji, Seek Blessings After Pathetic Australian Tour, Watch

Premanand Maharaj: Indian cricket star Virat Kohli, accompanied by his wife Anushka Sharma and their children, recently visited the renowned Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. This spiritual visit comes after Kohli's lackluster performance in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, where he managed only 190 runs across five matches at an average of 23.75. Following his first-match century, Kohli struggled in subsequent innings, amassing just 85 runs over seven innings.

Facing Criticism and Turning to Spirituality

Kohli’s poor form has sparked criticism from former cricketers and fans alike, with some even calling for his retirement. Amid this tumultuous phase, the cricketer has sought solace in spirituality, as evident from his visit to Premanand Maharaj. Kohli, a devout follower of Lord Krishna, has often turned to faith during challenging periods. Before heading to the Australian tour, he was also seen participating in Krishna bhajans.

Anushka’s Spiritual Connection

A viral video from the visit shows Kohli and Anushka bowing before Premanand Maharaj. An emotional Anushka shared her spiritual journey with the guru, recounting how her unanswered questions were addressed through divine signs. She expressed her desire for “prem bhakti,” a sentiment that deeply moved Maharaj, who praised their dedication to spirituality despite global fame.

Preparing for England Tour

As the Indian team gears up for the England series starting January 22, Kohli took a brief respite to focus on his mental and spiritual well-being. The series includes five ODIs and three T20s, marking Kohli’s continued presence in white-ball cricket. His performance will be closely watched as India prepares for the Champions Trophy, which begins on February 19.

This visit underscores the importance of faith in Kohli’s journey, as he aims to overcome challenges and regain form.
