Virat Kohli Neem Karoli Baba Ashram visit

Virat will be playing the first ODI in Guwahati tonight, but ahead of the series, he went to Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Vrindavan along with his wife Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika. The pictures of all three of them in the Ashram went viral on social media platforms as well.

It is said that the Sharma family are followers of Neem Karoli Baba. Baba was a devotee of the Hindu god Hanuman, and he used to practice Bhakti Yoga as well. He is called ‘Maharaj Ji’ by his devotees, and it is said that he chose to leave his body in 1973 in a hospital in Vrindavan. He opted Vrindavan’s land for Samadhi and a temple was built over it.

Virat and Anushka are not just the only famous figures to visit Baba’s Samadhi, famous businessmen like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg have also visited the Ashram. Zuckerberg came to India in 2015 and visited the Ashram in Kainchi, Uttarakhand when Facebook was going through a rough spell. Apple founder Steve Jobs also visited India to meet Baba, but he passed away by then.
