Sources at the ashram said the pair arrived around 6 a.m. and joined the gathering quietly without requesting special arrangements. They reportedly sat on the floor alongside other devotees and participated in the session like ordinary attendees. Their visit drew attention only after local residents recognized them while they were leaving, leading to a brief traffic slowdown outside the premises.
Police personnel stationed nearby managed the crowd and cleared the road within about 15 minutes, ensuring the couple’s convoy could exit without disruption. Authorities confirmed that no untoward incident occurred and described the situation as routine crowd control following the sudden gathering of onlookers.
The visit came amid busy professional schedules for both. Kohli has been engaged in cricket commitments, while Sharma continues work on film and production projects. According to individuals familiar with their travel plans, the couple reached Vrindavan from Delhi the previous evening and stayed overnight at a hotel before heading to the ashram before dawn.
During the discourse, Premanand Maharaj spoke about the distinction between spiritual initiation and complete surrender, describing initiation as the beginning of a seeker’s journey and surrender as a state in which faith rests entirely in one’s chosen deity and spiritual guide. Attendees said the talk focused on devotion, discipline, and inner clarity.
The couple’s daughter was not present during the visit, as confirmed by ashram sources. Observers noted that Kohli and Sharma interacted briefly with the guru after the session, offering greetings and receiving blessings before departing.
In recent months, the two have made several visits to religious destinations across India, reflecting what associates describe as a continuing personal interest in spiritual practices. Public reactions online were largely supportive, with many followers praising the visit as a reminder of balancing professional life with personal reflection.
While celebrity appearances at pilgrimage towns often draw crowds, local officials said Tuesday’s gathering remained peaceful and was handled quickly. The ashram did not release an official statement but confirmed that the visit was private and pre-scheduled.
