Indian cricketer and vice-captain Rohit Sharma took to meditation when he visited the global headquarters of Heartfulness in Kanha Shantivanam at Chegur near Hyderabad on Friday. The opening batsman was accompanied by his wife Ritika and he met Kamlesh Patel, the guide of Heartfulness. Rohit undertook a meditation session from Daaji – Mr. Patel – to understand how it all works.
“As soon as I entered Kanha Shantivanam I felt an environment of positivity. It’s very true when you are close to nature there is so much positivity and meditation will be more impactful. My experience with heartfulness meditation has been amazing and I felt so light and so positive. There is so much negativity around and we need to increase positivity and meditation can certainly help,” Rohit Sharma was quoted as saying by IANS.
Rohit said he wants to bring some of his teammates to this place, for both a getaway and also for meditation. “I know kids and youth want to have fun but it’s important that meditation has to be on the top of the list that is how one can be aligned and stay in the game and can make the right decision and it is very important to be in the zone.”
Daaji on his part said that Rohit will now inspire many others to turn to meditation.
“I am delighted that he has embraced heartfulness meditation and this should also inspire many more to turn to meditation as a way of life to bring about balance in their lives,” said Daaji.
Rohit also laid the foundation stone for the cricket stadium to be used by the students of the Heartfulness Learning center. The stadium is named after Rohit Sharma. “Rohit Sharma like all great achievers in the world is an example of what the human mind is capable of doing when it becomes focused. It is quite apt for a cricketer of his like to lay the foundation stone for the cricket stadium here and I am confident that some of the students of Heartfulness learning center, inspired as they are by his visit would one day emulate his feats,” said Daaji.
