JAIPUR: According to reports, the wedding of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will take place in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and be blessed by Hindu priest said to have saved their relationship through 'couples' yoga'.

The priest, known as Guru Ram Lalji Siyag (83), is unique as his followers believe he will fulfil prophecies from the Holy Bible.

Siyag, who began his spiritual journey as a young railway clerk in Bikaner, Rajasthan, is reported to have taught the Hollywood stars yoga and meditation techniques during a tour of the United States.

According to a friend, it has helped ease the stress of their hectic lives they are raising six children while travelling constantly for film and charity commitments.

"They've been practising his Siddha yoga and they start and end the day by chanting a sacred word he's given them. It's transformed their relationship. They've both cut back on drinking and no longer argue," said a friend.

They are now understood to be planning a Hindu wedding at the Guru's Adhyatm Vigyan Satsang Kendra ashram
in Jodhpur in January. Officials said that the couple may arrive in the city to celebrate New Year's Eve and marry soon after. The first auspicious day in the Hindu calendar following that is on January 14.

A disciple of the guru at his Jodhpur ashram said he could neither confirm nor deny any wedding plans or that Brangelina had ever met him.

"Guruji is a humble and simple person; he never aspires to have celebrities around him and even if has celebrity followers, he never boasts about it," the disciple said.

When Siyag had premonitions of his own death and sought reassurance from a local guru who said he could only be saved if he chanted a Hindu prayer, the 'Gyatri Mantra' 1.25 lakh times.

When he finally completed his mission, he felt his body radiating a powerful white light.

He was later told by Hindu priests that the 'divine glow' he had experienced was a blessing from the Goddess Gayatri, a special divine power known as a 'Siddhi'.

He became a devotee of Baba Shri Gangainathji, a popular local guru in Rajasthan, who, he said, continued to send him messages from the afterlife.

But his most curious religious experience followed a series of dreams in which the Gospel of St John, which he had never read or heard, was revealed to him.

His followers now believe Guru Siyag draws on common themes of Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism.

"Guruji has been spearheading a quiet spiritual revolution since the 1985. His disciples worship him as living incarnation of God and believe that he will fulfil prophecies of Bible," one of his disciples said.
