HYDERABAD: It was day with a difference when star batsman Rohit Sharma, who is exclusively managed by IMG Reliance, met Indian spiritual leader, author and fourth president of Heartfulness Kamlesh Patel (Daaji to his followers), at the Raja Yoga proponents’ global headquarters in Kanha Shantivanam, Chegur, Hyderabad.
As a part of his day long trip, Sharma laid the foundation stone for a cricket stadium and training centre to be used by the students of the Heartfulness Learning Centre.
The Heartfulness Cricket Stadium – ‘Rohit Sharma Cricket Stadium’ – is one amongst several infrastructural facilities being made available for students of Heartfulness Learning centre and will allow them to train and play matches amongst themselves as well as competing teams.
Commenting on the development Patel said: “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 ilk to lay the foundation stone for the cricket stadium here and I am confident that some of students of Heartfulness learning centre, inspired as they are by his visit would one day emulate his feats. I am also 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.”
Research and learning, sustainability, meditation & yoga and sports form a large part of focus at the sprawling 1,400 acre Kanha Shantivanam, be it for the followers of Heartfulness meditation or children and students of the Heartfulness Learning centre.
