The Tamil superstar was speaking during a book launch organised by Kriya Yoga in Chennai
Tamil film superstar Rajinikanth left the audience spellbound while sharing his knowledge on Kriya yoga and Chakra meditation and claimed that of all his films, Sree Raghavendra and Baba gave him "soul satisfaction."
Mr. Rajinikanth, who sat in a meditative posture on stage when Swami Suddhananda Giri, senior sanyasi of Yogada Satsangha Society of India (YSSI), earlier appealed to the audience to meditate for a few minutes, commenced his speech with "Om Guruvey Saranam."

He said he didn’t expect an overwhelming response to the event — inspirational talk and guided meditation — in Tamil on “a happy and a successful life through Kriya yoga” under the aegis of YSSI.
"Noticing the swamijis here refer to their notes while addressing you, I thought I should have also brought some notes with me. But I came here without it (hence extempore speech)," the superstar said amidst joyous shouts of 'Thalaiva' by his fans.
In a lighter vein, he referred to Swamy Giri's reference to him during his speech, and remarked, "we are all actors and a great actor is in our midst, Swamy Giri said pointing at me. I don't know if it is praise or admonition," he remarked.
