India has long been a sanctuary for spirituality, drawing seekers from all corners of the globe.
In this modern era, one of the name that shines brightly in the realm of spiritual guidance is Premanand Ji Maharaj. His teachings, which resonate with people of all ages, attract not just common folks but also celebrities from various fields, including actors, cricketers, and politicians. Maharaj Ji’s approach is one of equality, treating everyone with the same respect and attention.
A Journey of Devotion
Early Life and Spiritual Awakening
Premanand Ji Maharaj’s spiritual journey began at a remarkably young age. At just 13 years old, he left his home in Kanpur and traveled to Vrindavan, the land of divine play, inspired by the lilas (divine activities) of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a revered 15th-century saint from Bengal. This early dedication set the foundation for his future as a spiritual leader.
Initiation and Teachings
Maharaj Ji was initiated into the RadhaVallabh Sampradaya, a tradition that venerates Radha Rani, with the Sharnagat Mantra (शरणागत मंत्र). His primary teaching emphasizes the power of “Naam Jappa,” or chanting the name of one’s chosen deity, be it Radha, Ram, Krishna, or Waheguru. This practice, he believes, is the key to spiritual energy and eternal glow.
Despite severe health challenges, including the failure of both his kidneys, Maharaj Ji remains vibrant and energetic, attributing his vitality to the constant chanting of God’s name.
To control one’s mind, it is essential to chant the name of God. One should immerse oneself in the divine name
