After guiding RCB to IPL crown, coach Andy Flower finds spirituality in Rishikesh
After guiding Royal Challengers Bengaluru to their maiden IPL title, coach Andy Flower paid a visit to Rishikesh to meet spiritual guru Swami Chidanand Saraswati at Paramarth Niketan Ashram. The meeting between the RCB coach and the spiritual guru took place on International Yoga Day on Saturday, June 21. Flower's tactical prowess was on full show during the IPL as RCB won all their away games en route to breaking their jinx and beating PBKS in the final to win the title. Flower said, as quoted by TOI, that he was talking with Swami about teams and how the tendency is always to win trophies. advertisementThe RCB coach said that from his experience as a player and a tactician, winning is not quite enough. He feels that there has to be something more meaningful than just winning as it can be a little hollow occasionally. "I was talking with the Swami about teams, actually. And the tendency for us as a sporting organisation is to grab at that trophy that you want to win. And everything's about winning.""But from my experience in playing and coaching, winning is not quite enough. There has to be something more, something deeper, something more meaningful than just winning. Because winning is a little hollow occasionally," said Flower. #WATCH | Uttarakhand: Former Zimbabwean cricket captain and RCB coach, Andy Flower meets Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president and spiritual head of Parmarth Niketan Ashram, in Rishikesh ANI (@ANI) June 21, 2025advertisementFlower on International Yoga DayFlower also talked about International Yoga Day and said he has been a learning a lot about Yoga over the past two weeks since he has been in Rishikesh.

Minister Sivankutty alleges Raj Bhavan behind ABVP protests; BJP accuses CPI(M) of 'violence'
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala General Education Minister V Sivankutty on Sunday claimed that the protests by the BJP's youth and student groups against him, over the 'Bharat Mata' controversy, were aimed at causing riots in the state and were allegedly held on instructions of the Raj Bhavan. Hitting back at the CPI(M), BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar accused the Left party of trying to suppress protests by resorting to violence against the protestors. He warned that if the Left government uses force to suppress protests, it will face retaliation in the same manner. Earlier in the day, Sivankutty told reporters that he has been attacked and his travels obstructed during the last couple of days after he walked out of a programme at the Raj Bhavan where a portrait of 'Bharat Mata' -- as seen in RSS events -- was displayed. He said that as a minister, MLA and a citizen, he has the right to protest against the actions of the Governor at the Raj Bhavan and that is what he did. "The Governor has said that he will continue with it (the portrait) and we have not responded to that," he added.
