SADHGURU ON VIRAT KOHLI

With more than three million subscribers on YouTube, Sadhguru is one of India’s most popular spiritual teachers. Among his many interests, he is a big fan of both cricket and the sport’s greatest living player in Kohli.

''If he learns to be a cool fire, not a fire that burns him up, then he will do things which probably have not been done for a long time.''

— Sadhguru, on Virat Kohli's potential

Sadhguru — who sees a lot of the legendary Garfield Sobers in Kohli — thinks that if he can harness his passions properly he can continue to elevate his already tremendous stature on the cricket pitch.

While it is unknown if Kohli will ever find time to take instruction from Sadhguru, he does foster a spiritual drive and like so many seekers discovered Paramahansa Yogananda’s timeless classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, to be instrumental in laying the groundwork.

Yogananda was a revered yogi who emigrated to the United States from India in the 1920s and attracted a worldwide following teaching from his new home in Southern California. His earthly remains are interred at Forest Lawn Memorial in Glendale.
