Indian cricketer Deepti Sharma visited Premanand Maharaj's ashram after her team's 2025 World Cup victory to seek blessings. The meeting featured a discussion on the importance of practice and dedication. Maharaj described sports wins as a source of national joy.
In 2025, the Indian women's cricket team defeated South Africa to claim the World Cup. Following this triumph, champion player Deepti Sharma arrived at Premanand Maharaj's ashram on Friday to pay respects and receive blessings.
Maharaj's disciple Naval Nagri introduced Deepti, highlighting India's World Championship victory. Maharaj expressed delight, calling it a moment of national pride. He stated, "What seems like just a game brings joy to the entire India. When Indian players win a match, it's not just their victory; all Indians feel like we've won. When India triumphs, the whole country, every town, and every person rejoices. Bringing smiles to people's faces is a great act of kindness. So, we must always practice well, strive with full effort, and move towards victory."
During the conversation, Maharaj emphasized consistent practice. He added, "One should contemplate God and practice continuously. Success comes from practice. If we practice daily, we can certainly become skilled players one day. Often, after achieving a win, a player slacks on practice and gets entangled in entertainment, halting further progress. Therefore, after victory, one must be even more cautious, maintain regular practice, and keep enhancing proficiency. In this way, we progress forward."
The encounter highlights the intersection of sports and spirituality, linking success to dedication.
