The superstar, who left for the Himalayas for a spiritual trip a day before 'Jailer' release, was recently in Jharkhand. On Thursday, he spent an hour meditating at Yagoda ashram in Ranchi.
Rajinikanth is a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, who is the author of 'Autobiography of a Yogi'.
After leaving Dwarahat in Uttarakhand, the South star reached Ranchi where he meditated at a cave in Pandavkholi at his guru Paramahansa Yogananda's Ranchi-based ashram Yogoda Satsanga Society, according to an ashram official.
"This morning he meditated for about an hour in Yoganandji's room at Yogoda's ashram in Ranchi. In this meditation, he felt unique peace and divinity. After meditation, he met and had spiritual consultations with senior swamis of Yogoda. The visit to Yogoda Ashram was a part of his spiritual pilgrimage. Being a disciple of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, a regular practitioner of Kriya Yoga, he came to Ranchi after visiting Yogoda's Dwarahat Ashram in Uttarakhand and meditation in Mahavatar Babaji's cave," the ashram official was quoted as saying to news agency PTI.
After his meditation session, Rajinikanth left for Chinnamastika temple at Rajrappa near Ramgarh district - which is around 70 kilometres away from Ranchi.
Dressed in traditional white attire, Rajinikanth's video from the temple has been doing the rounds on social media. Priests of the temple, which is located on the confluence of the Bhairavi and Damodar rivers, assisted the actor to perform special 'aarti' and prayers.
Days after the release of 'Jailer', Rajinikanth visited the Badrinath temple last week in Uttarakhand to seek the blessings of Lord Badri Vishal. He also attended the evening aarti.
On Wednesday, Rajinikanth met Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan at the Raj Bhavan in Ranchi.
Radhakrishnan called Rajini "one of India's greatest actors and a great human being."
Earlier this month, Rajinikanth - who is a spiritual person - said that he used to often visit the Himalayas on various occasions. However, he was unable to visit the hills for the past four years due to various reasons, including the Covid-19 pandemic.
Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, Rajini's recent release that hit the screens worldwide on August 10 is a blockbuster as it collected more than Rs 420 crore in its first week at the box-office.
Touted to be an action-packed entertainer, 'Jailer' has a stellar star cast that also includes Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff, Priyanka Mohan, Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, Vasanth Ravi and Vinayakan in prominent roles.
