Spiritual Guru Grooms Russell Brand For Ahead of His Indian Wedding

Dailymail : If anyone could do with a little spiritual guidance in the run-up to marriage, it’s Russell Brand.

The bad boy of comedy who is expected to wed Katy Perry this week in India met in Los Angeles at the weekend with the Krishna guru he has credited with helping him keep on the straight and narrow.

Brand, 35, has previously gushed about Radhanath Swami, 49, saying: ‘He’s a beautiful fellow. He’s got the answer. I’m a spiritual gent and increasingly that’s the level I want to vibrate on, were it not for my crazed lust for sex and glamour.’

Brand and Perry, 26, are expected to wed at the Taj Rambagh Palace, the same hotel where they became engaged on New Year’s Eve. Close friends of the couple, pictured below, including Rihanna, Jonathan Ross, Noel Gallagher and David Walliams, are due to make their way to India for the wedding ceremony on Saturday.

It is understood the guests will meet up for a safari in the days before the nuptials. Brand and Perry are believed to have booked out all of the tents in a camp close to one of the world’s most famous tiger reserves in Ranthambore, a small town in the heart of Rajasthan.
Excited villagers are gearing up for the event and have been getting in supplies for the celebrations.

The general store supplying goods to the wilderness retreat has been asked to deliver 1,380 cans of soft drinks and 4,800 bottles of mineral water to keep the stars hydrated as they party under the scorching sun.

The 500 square mile park at Ranthambore is one of the best locations in India to catch a glimpse of tigers in their natural habitat.
Local conservationist Dicky Singh said: ‘If you see a tiger it is a great omen for the future. ‘It would be amazing if Russell and Katy could see one before their wedding.’
