Who is Premanand Ji Maharaj: 5 of his teachings that are mantras for modern life
In today's fast-paced world, where social media updates appear faster than thoughts can settle and the pressure to continually prove oneself rarely eases, many Indians are looking for deeper meaning. Even as trends and technology shift every day, the desire for clarity, peace, and purpose remains constant. It is in this context that the teachings of Premanand Ji Maharaj, a spiritual teacher from Vrindavan, have gradually gained attention. Without relying on self-promotion or polished branding, Maharaj Ji has attracted followers across different age groups– from students to professionals and even public figures– who appreciate his simple, practical approach. Many feel that his guidance speaks directly to their daily lives. Rather than offer abstract or overly theoretical spiritual advice, his teachings focus on common challenges like stress, expectations, ego, and emotional unease. Here are five of Premanand Ji Maharaj's core teachings that may be especially relevant for those seeking balance, purpose, and inner calm in today's world: True peace comes from letting go, not holding on Premanand Ji Maharaj often points out that much of our emotional struggle stems from the need to control every outcome, whether in our relationships, careers, or personal goals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo His advice is straightforward: do your part with sincerity, but let go of the constant need to manage every detail. He emphasizes that surrendering to the divine will is not a sign of helplessness. Rather, it is a way to reduce unnecessary anxiety and allow life to unfold naturally. Success is a shared path of effort and divine grace Success, according to Premanand Ji Maharaj, is a combination of merit, good deeds, and God's blessings. He explains that there are two kinds of people– those who believe their achievements come purely from their own hard work, and those who credit all their success to divine will. Maharaj Ji, however, emphasizes a more balanced view. Success is never entirely one or the other; it is the result of sincere effort, past good actions, and divine grace working together. In his teaching, neither the individual nor the higher power is solely responsible. Instead, success emerges as a shared process– a partnership between one's own actions and the blessings that help make them fruitful. Life will keep changing– don't let it shake your core Whether it's career uncertainty, personal loss, or shifting relationships, Maharaj Ji reminds people that change is a constant. Rather than fearing it, he encourages acceptance. His teachings often highlight the importance of maintaining inner stability even when outer circumstances feel unpredictable. He frequently advises people not to let difficult times take away their hope, and not to let good times inflate their ego. Emotional balance, he believes, is one of the most valuable spiritual strengths a person can cultivate. Mind your words– they shape more than just conversations In moments of anger or stress, words can easily become harmful. Maharaj Ji encourages people to speak with care and responsibility. He often points out that every word carries energy that affects not only those who hear it but also the speaker themselves. Being conscious of language, he explains, doesn't mean one must always be soft-spoken. It means being aware of the impact of one's words, especially during difficult or tense conversations. Let achievement be quiet– don't let ego walk ahead of you With rising visibility, fame, and financial success often comes an inflated sense of self. Maharaj Ji cautions that ego is one of the quickest ways to lose balance, even after reaching great heights. Despite his large following, he continues to live a disciplined and humble life. Through his example, he reminds others that inner growth should always take priority over outward image.

'Abhi to thik hai.....': Premanand Ji Maharaj asked Virat Kohli if he is happy after Test retirement
'Abhi to thik hai.....': Premanand Ji Maharaj asked Virat Kohli if he is happy after Test retirement New Delhi: A day after announcing his retirement from Test cricket, India's batting legend Virat Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, visited Vrindavan on Tuesday. They had a special spiritual conversation (Ekantik Vartalaap) with Premanand Ji Maharaj at his Ashram, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, located at Varah Ghat. In Vrindavan, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma met Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj and received his blessings. This marked the couple's second visit to Vrindavan this year. Earlier in January, Virat, Anushka, and their children had visited the holy city to seek the blessings of Premanand Ji Maharaj. Upon arriving at the ashram, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma greeted Premanand Ji Maharaj, who kindly asked, 'Prasanna ho? (Are you happy?)' Virat replied, 'Ji, abhi thik hain (Yes, I'm okay).' Maharaj Ji responded gently, saying, 'You should stay well.' Maharaj Ji shared a deep spiritual lesson with Virat and Anushka, saying, 'Ye vaibhav milna kripa nahi hai, ye punya hai. Bhagwan ki kriya maani jati hai, andar ka chintan badalna… Bilkul aise hi rahi jaise reh rahe ho, bilkul sansarik ban kar raho, lekin andar ka chintan aapka badal jaye, usme yash ki bhavna na reh jaye… Andar ka chintan ye rahna achha ki 'Prabhu, bahut janm vyateet ho gaya, ab mujhe aap chahiye'.' (Translation: 'This prosperity is not merely grace — it is the result of virtue (punya). It is considered to be a movement toward the Divine. What truly matters is the transformation of your inner contemplation… Live just as you are living now, fully engaged in the world, but let your inner thought process change. Let there be no desire for recognition or fame within. Your inner contemplation should be: 'Lord, enough of all worldly experiences, now, I seek only You.'') Maharaj Ji's words touched Anushka deeply, and she was visibly emotional as they received the spiritual guidance. The couple has been seen embarking on several spiritual journeys over the past few years. In 2023, they visited the revered Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. Prior to that, Virat and Anushka also made a pilgrimage to the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram at Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand, reflecting their growing inclination toward spirituality and inner peace. On Monday, Virat Kohli officially announced his retirement from Test cricket via Instagram, bringing an end to a remarkable 14-year career in the longest format. Over the course of 123 matches, he amassed 9,230 runs, including an impressive 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries. His decision to step away from Tests followed reports that he had already informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) ahead of the upcoming five-match Test series against England scheduled for next month. Kohli, who made his Test debut in 2011, has been a cornerstone of India's red-ball resurgence over the past decade. His aggressive captaincy, prolific batting, and relentless intensity played a pivotal role in transforming India into a dominant force in Test cricket, both at home and overseas. He retires as the fourth-most successful Test captain in the history of the game, with 40 wins under his belt — trailing only Graeme Smith (53), Ricky Ponting (48), and Steve Waugh (41). Kohli's 30 Test centuries place him as the fourth-most successful Indian batter in terms of hundreds, trailing only legends Sachin Tendulkar (51), Rahul Dravid (36), and Sunil Gavaskar (34). Notably, he holds the Indian record for the most double centuries in Tests, with seven to his name. Kohli also tops the chart for the most Test hundreds by an Indian captain, with 20 centuries — well ahead of Gavaskar's 11. Having already bid farewell to the T20I format after India's T20 World Cup triumph last year, the 36-year-old will now focus solely on ODIs for the national team.
