13 May 2025 : A day after announcing his retirement from Test cricket, Virat Kohli visited Vrindavan with his wife, Anushka Sharma, to seek blessings from Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj at the Kelly Kunj Ashram. The couple’s visit on Tuesday was captured in a video that surfaced online in the morning, showing them dressed in white and traveling in a local cab.
This marked yet another visit by the couple to the spiritual leader, with whom they have maintained a longstanding connection. During their latest interaction, Anushka was heard asking, “Kya naam jap se ho jayega?”. He replied, “Completely… I’m sharing this from my life experience. I have come to Bhakti Yoga after experiencing Sankhya Yoga, Ashtang Yoga, and Karma Yoga.”
He added, “It’s true that an increase in one’s glory and fame is not considered to be the grace of God. God’s grace is when there is a change in thinking within a person… God shows us the path of ultimate peace. Shri Krishna said in the Gita that my devotee is never destroyed. Chant God’s name with joy.”
