Two years after his WWE exit, Veer Mahaan has become the talk of the town among pro wrestling fans. A picture of him has gone viral on social media, where he looks like an Indian monk. This has led fans to wonder if the former wrestler has taken a spiritual path.

The simple answer to the question is yes. Before his release from the Stamford-based promotion in September 2023, Veer met Shri Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj, a renowned saint who is followed and admired by people all around the world.

Veer’s meeting with the saint was recorded and uploaded to a YouTube channel named Bhakti Marg. As of now, the video has over 4.6 million views. In the video, Rinku Singh was seen asking the saint whether he should stay in the US and continue wrestling or come back to his motherland to devote himself to God.

In 2025, Rinku was seen alongside Premanand Ji Maharaj’s entourage. He has now dedicated himself to God, leaving worldly possessions behind.

Former WWE Champion reveals Veer and Sanga were denied permission to go home to India

Following his release in 2024, Jinder Mahal appeared in an interview on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast. During the chat, The Modern Day Maharaj revealed how the Indus Sher was denied permission to visit India due to an emergency during WrestleMania XL week.

The former WWE Champion revealed that the duo was told they were needed on WWE RAW, but in reality, they weren’t booked and were sitting at home.

“So actually, during WrestleMania [XL] week, myself and Indus Sher, we talked to TR. They were wanting to go back to India, a few months prior, Veer had a religious event that he holds, it was a [sic] one-year anniversary of his father’s death. He got told that no. We were needed for RAW. He can’t go back home. Sanga is also from India. He wants to go back home, and we were told no, we were needed on RAW. And sure enough, we weren’t booked, we were just sitting at home,” Mahal said. [H/T: chrisvanvliet.com]
