Kamal Hassan meets Dalai Lama

Kamal Hassan is high on spiritual notes as he and his wife Gautami Tadimalla recently met Dalai Lamal, who was in Chennai for a lecture on 'Human Approach to World Peace' at IIT Madras.

The 61-year-old actor took to Facebook and posted a picture with Dalai Lama, where he is seen holding his hand.

Kamal captioned the picture, "Today morning I met The Dalai Lamaji. Have admired his resilience and purpose. Being a fan of Gandhi ji, it is not to too far fetched to become his admirer. Inspite of the fact that I am rationalist and hence not spiritually bent my meeting was invigorating and felt purposeful."

His caption further read, "My lack of interest in matters of things spiritual in nature was matched by his disinterest in cinema. "I have not watched a single movie not even television" he told me with a smile. Yet he opined that I could use my craft and medium to propagate the great philosophy offered to the world by India: Ahimsa. I confirmed my faith in Ahimsa and said I will venture soon in that direction.
