She's on 3-day maun vrat in the distant Chittoor district (Andhra Pradesh). An ordeal for the voluble Shetty. But one that she's happily willing to undertake.
Shilpa Shetty has a new love in her life. She has discovered a new affinity to meditation thanks to the spirituality course at the Oneness University that the eyecatching actress has taken to.
Shilpa, constantly into health and fitness whether physical or psychological discovered the Oneness sprirituality- course thanks to a common friend. The course has taken the celebrity world in India and from the West by storm.
While Gerard Butler, Uma Thurman and Richard Gere are some of the distinguished practitioners of Oneness from Hollywood, Bollywood too isn't far behind.
Though keeping religiously mum at the moment Shilpa had earlier said, "It's a fabulous mind and body healing course. When I met the spiritual leader at the Oneness University I could feel his divine energy flow from him into me. I know it sounds like mumbojumbo. You've to experience it to know how it feels."
Bollywood colleague Manisha Koirala is also heavily into Oneness.
Shilpa, currently at meditation camp, spoke through the SMS.
"I'm at the Oneness meditation camp in the Chittoor district. I've undertaken a maun vrat till the end of this week. I'm doing a spiritual course here.
Will return to Mumbai on August 3. This place is so beautiful and calm. Though it's hard for me to keep quiet for more than ten minutes I find it easy to remain maun when Nature seems to second my tranquil emotion."
