Indian cricket star Virat Kohli, who was recently criticized in the Test series against Bangladesh and Australia, is seeking his mental peace by reaching the refuge of Premananda Maharaj amid speculations of retirement. Virat Kohli was accompanied by his wife Anushka Sharma and both children Vamika and Ahaan. The video of this meeting is becoming increasingly viral on social media.

Speculation of retirement started due to poor performance

There was some criticism in the past about Virat Kohli's performance in Test cricket. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Virat scored only 190 runs in 9 innings of 5 matches, including a century. This performance had intensified the speculation whether Virat Kohli is going to retire from Test cricket soon.

Virat and Anushka talk to Premanand Maharaj

In the video, it can be seen that Virat and Anushka meet Premanand Maharaj and bow down to him. During this, Anushka told Maharaj, "Last time when we came here, there were some questions in mind, but those questions were already asked by other people." To this, Maharaj ji replied with a smile, "We are giving happiness to people by doing sadhana, and players like Virat Kohli are also giving happiness to the whole of India through their game."

Making balance in sports is also sadhana: Premanand Maharaj

Premanand Maharaj told Virat Kohli, "If Virat maintains balance in his game, then this is also a part of his sadhana. Those who make India happy through sports, their practice is also like sadhana. If Virat Kohli is victorious, then his victory creates an atmosphere of happiness in the whole country, this is the result of his sadhana."

Advised to face it with patience
He also said that there are times of both success and failure, and one should meditate on God in both these situations and maintain patience. “Failure never lasts, if we face difficulties with patience and a smile then it is a great achievement,” Maharaj said.

Anushka asked for ‘Prem Bhakti’

During this, Anushka Sharma asked for a special blessing from Premananda Maharaj. She said, “Just give me Prem Bhakti.” Maharaj replied, “This is even better. It is difficult to turn to devotion after getting respect in the world, but you have done this, it is a big thing.”

Even before this, Anushka and Virat have worked many times to raise awareness on social issues, and now this conversation shows that they are also in search of spiritual advancement and mental peace.
