Over the past few days, there was panic in India as a viral video of Premanand Ji Maharaj exhibiting face swelling and red eyes prompted devotees to worry about his health. The much-venerated Vrindavan-based saint, famous for his profound spiritual wisdom and humility, was said to be in a critical state of health. But the Kalikunj Ashram has officially confirmed that Maharaj is “stable and recovering under medical supervision,” advising followers not to believe unsubstantiated social media reports.
As per reports, Maharaj has been asked to rest and forgo his morning walk and public appearances temporarily. His routine prayers and spiritual discourses, however, are continuing in a restricted form. A fact-check report by India TV ascertained that viral rumors about his worsening condition were unsubstantiated, stating clearly that no critical situation prevails now.
In the meantime, a video of a Muslim devotee praying for Maharaj’s recovery in Madina also went viral, showing India’s tolerant spirit of unity and interfaith respect.
Maharaj himself spoke to his followers in a touching message, stating, “There is some pain and weakness, but divine grace is immense. I am fine. Stay happy and keep faith—we’ll meet soon.” His message reassured millions of devotees throughout the country, who have been praying for his health day and night.
Medical sources have uncovered the fact that the saint is struggling with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), a genetic condition needing frequent dialysis. Premanand Ji, still guiding his followers with courage and calm, has been reminding them frequently that “life span is written by destiny and cannot be changed by rituals or medicines.”
YouTuber Elvish Yadav recently met Maharaj in Vrindavan and reported that the saint told him to chant names of the divine every day. The encounter went viral on social media, inspiring countless young devotees.
Conclusion
The consolation from Kalikunj Ashram and Maharaj’s own words has given untold comfort to his devotees globally. In spite of the health issues, Premanand Ji Maharaj’s spiritual strength remains an inspiration for millions, reiterating his ageless message—that divine love and devotion overcome all suffering.
