New Delhi: The spiritual quest of famous Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna has once again become a topic of discussion. His second wife, Kavita Khanna, has recently shared many important things about her experiences spent at Osho Ashram. Kavita says that Vinod had distanced himself from films not just in search of glamor but for spiritual peace. Vinod, who was curious since childhood, discovered values that are inspirational to people even today.
Vinod Khanna’s spiritual inclination began at the age of 17 when he read Autobiography of a Yogi. However, his decision to retire came after a series of family traumas, including a series of deaths in his family. Vinod, who was deeply shocked after his mother’s demise, decided to leave the materialistic world. He started his new life journey by going to Osho.
Vinod Khanna worked as an ordinary gardener in Rajneeshpuram (Oregon). Kavita tells that Osho’s residence was extremely private and only selected personalities were allowed to go there. As a gardener, Vinod got the opportunity to be close to Osho. In particular, the long and luxurious robes made for Osho were already tried on him, because the structure of his shoulders matched Osho’s.
Vinod’s spiritual faith was so strong that he participated in nude meditation sessions in a crowded place like Girgaum Chowpatty in Mumbai. While sharing her experience of that time, Kavita said that people used to take off their clothes and sit in a circle and meditate. Strange as it may sound, Kavita believes that Vinod went there not for physical attraction, but for self-realization with deep dedication.
Vinod Khanna achieved significant success not only in the film industry but also in politics. However, in the year 2017, a terrible disease like cancer took away this great actor from us. Vinod Khanna played many memorable roles in his career spanning 50 years. His last film was ‘Guns of Banaras’, which released in 2020, three years after his death.
