There was a blind last year that said Anushka took her spiritual guru with her the sets of her web series to make sure everything runs accordingly. Her familt follow a well known guru maharaj anant baba from hardiwar.
So who is Maharaj Anant Baba, the man who we have seen several times with Anushka, and who left for Europe along with the Sharma family last night?
- Maharaj Anant Baba is the guru at Anant Dham in Haridwar. The Dham's official website says, "Anant Dham is dedicated to the common man to experience 'the whole world is one family' by releasing one's untapped energy. This divine energy is the only guide to bring about world peace, love, compassion, forgiveness and trust."
- The Sharma family has been seeking advice and blessings from Anant Baba for many years now.
- Before her Bollywood debut in 2007, Anushka Sharma visited the ashram in Haridwar regularly. After the debut, however, the Sharma family decided to keep her visits to Anant Dham a secret.
- Anushka's mother, Ashima Sharma, is a Garhwali, and the actress has visited Uttarakhand frequently, before her debut with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
- Several times in the past, Anushka has praised Anant Baba, saying that whenever she needs mental peace and wants to connect with her inner self, she reaches out to her spiritual guru.
- The real name of Maharaj Anant Baba is Pradip Agnihotri. He was born in Pathri, near Haridwar. He is said to have 'entered spiritual life' at the age of 15.
- "At young age he mastered various spiritual systems such as Vedas and Upanishads, Vedanta, Brahma Sutra, Kundalini Yog, Kriya Yog, Astrology, Aghora, Tantra and Occultism," claims the official website of Anant Dham.
- In December last year, Anushka and Virat dropped in at the Anant Dham ashram in Haridwar and met Anant Baba.
- The Baba is part of every important decision that Anushka Sharma's family takes. That is why photos of Anant Baba flying to Europe with the Sharma family have given rise to major speculation about a possible wedding in Italy this weekend.
