잠나가르, 인도, 2025년 12월 20일 -- 세계적인 축구 아이콘 리오넬 메시(Lionel Messi)가 아난트 암바니(Anant Ambani)가 설립한 야생동물 구조, 재활 및 보존 센터인 반타라(Vantara)를 특별 방문했다. 센터의 모든 활동은 전통에 따라 사나타나 다르마(Sanatana Dharma)의 축복을 구하는 것으로 시작되며, 이는 자연에 대한 경외와 모든 생명체에 대한 존중을 강조한다. 이런 문화적 정신을 존중해 이뤄진 방문에서 메시는 인도 전통 의식에 참여하고, 야생동물을 관찰하며, 사육사 및 보존팀과 소통했다. 이번 방문은 평소 메시가 보여준 겸손과 인류애가 잘 드러나는 행보였으며, 야생동물 보호라는 공통된 관심사를 바탕으로 아난트 암바니와 쌓은 깊은 우정을 확인하는 계기가 됐다. Messi experiences Vantara with Anant Ambani 인터 마이애미 동료인 루이스 수아레스(Luis Suárez), 로드리고 데 파울(Rodrigo De Paul)과 동행한 메시는 활기찬 민속 음악, 축복과 순수한 진심을 상징하는 꽃 세례, 그리고 의식용 아르티(aarti)를 포함한
