Superstar Rajinikanth, who is respected both for his acting talent and humility, is once again capturing hearts—this time with a very personal and spiritual odyssey. Stepping back from his hectic professional schedule, the actor has taken off for a week-long sojourn in the Himalayas with close friends.
Rajinikanth first took the spiritual path at Rishikesh, where he has been several times over the years. Attired in a mere white dhoti and shirt, photos of the actor during the journey have gone viral, the fans hailing him for his simplicity and down-to-earth nature. His first destination was the Swami Dayananda Ashram, where he paid his respects to Swami Dayananda Saraswati. Being a spiritual man, Rajinikanth has already visited this ashram on multiple occasions, so it holds a personal place.
While in Rishikesh, Rajinikanth also passed time meditating on the banks of the Ganga River and attended the holy Ganga aarti, also indicating his strong spiritual inclination. The retreat has been viewed as a much-needed break for the actor to rediscover himself and attain inner peace, away from the media glare.
Perhaps the most discussed moment during the visit was when Rajinikanth was pictured having a humble meal at a roadside stall. On a disposable leaf plate (pattal), he had chapati, curry, and what appeared to be medu vada. This picture, pointing to his austere lifestyle, resonated with people.
As is reported by The Financial Express, from Rishikesh, the superstar went to Dwarahat, a peaceful spiritual town in Uttarakhand famous for its peaceful environment and ashrams.
Rajinikanth’s spiritual sojourn not just is indicative of his personal faith but also serves to remind fans why he remains beloved—not only because of his superstardom, but because of the humility that is his hallmark.
