India's cricketing icon, Virat Kohli, and his actor-producer wife, Anushka Sharma, once again highlighted the spiritual dimension of their lives with a visit to revered saint Premanand Ji Maharaj in Vrindavan. Following their return to India from the UK, the couple sought blessings and engaged in a private conversation (Ekantik Vartalaap) at the Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram, Varah Ghat. This visit underscores the couple's commitment to balancing their high-profile careers with a deeper, spiritual quest for meaning and purpose.

The Wisdom of Premanand Maharaj: Work as 'Service to God'

The spiritual highlight of the visit came during their meeting with Premanand Ji Maharaj. A widely shared video clip captured the saint offering profound, yet simple, guidance to the globally recognised couple. His message centred on the principle of sanctifying one’s professional life.

Premanand Maharaj advised the couple to fundamentally shift their perspective on their professional endeavours, telling them: "Apne karyakshetra ko bhagwan ka seva smajhiye."

He further elaborated on the attitude required for a fulfilling life, urging them to embrace three core virtues:

• Be serious and sincere (Gambhir bhav se rahiye).

• Remain humble (Vinamra rahiye).

• Engage in continuous prayer and chanting (Aur khub naam jap kijiye).

This powerful message encouraged the high-achieving duo to see their immense success and professional efforts not as a means to personal glory alone, but as an act of "service to God." The teaching is a profound spiritual concept that connects one's worldly duty (karma) with their higher purpose.

A Pilgrimage of Faith: The Couple's Repeated Visits

The recent visit marks the couple’s third documented trip to Vrindavan this year, illustrating a consistent pattern of seeking spiritual solace and guidance from Premanand Ji Maharaj.

• January Visit: Earlier in the year, Virat, Anushka, and their children, Vamika and Akaay, made a visit to the spiritual hub to seek the Maharaj's blessings.

• May Visit: Following Virat Kohli's announcement of his retirement from Test cricket, the couple again visited the saint, indicating the integral role he plays in their major life decisions and transitional moments.

These repeated pilgrimages suggest that the couple views their time in Vrindavan not just as a casual stop, but as a vital touchpoint for their personal and family well-being.

Back to Action: Kohli’s Upcoming Professional Commitments

Following this spiritual break, Virat Kohli is set to dive back into his demanding schedule. Having recently returned from the UK, where he resides with his family, the star batter is preparing for his next phase of cricket.

Kohli, who remains active in ODIs and the Indian Premier League (IPL), is expected to feature for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, starting on December 24. However, his participation will be brief, as he is slated to rejoin the Indian national squad for the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, which commences on January 11.

The ability of both Virat and Anushka to seamlessly transition from the tranquil, reflective environment of an Ashram to the intense, high-pressure world of professional entertainment and sport beautifully embodies the Maharaj's advice: to bring sincerity, humility, and a sense of divine service to every field of life.
