In the past few years, everyone seems to have come across reels and videos of Premanand Ji Maharaj. a saint whose simplicity, honesty, and deep knowledge touch countless hearts. There’s something divine about him, something that makes you feel he’s not just a teacher but a living embodiment of purity.
I’ve always believed in God. Many things in life have made me realize that God truly lives in our faith. When He calls you, you’ll go even if it means walking the distance.
I’ve visited many temples before, but I never imagined I would go to Vrindavan. That changed one random evening.
A friend of mine had just won some money in a game. While we were chatting, he suddenly said, “Let’s visit Vrindavan once.” We were already talking about Premanand Ji Maharaj, and somehow that conversation filled the air with excitement and devotion. Another friend said, “It’s Holi month let’s go tomorrow.” I wasn’t planning to, but deep down, something in my heart whispered, “You need to go.”
We planned everything quickly how we’d go, where we’d stay, and what temples we’d visit. The next evening, we took a bus to catch a train and reached Delhi. After spending a night there, we took another train straight to Vrindavan.
As soon as we stepped out of the station, we heard people calling out warmly
“Radhe! Radhe! Will you go on my auto?”
That tone, that sweetness in their voice it hit differently. The love and devotion in their words felt pure and magical.
We took an auto and visited a few nearby temples first. The driver spoke so humbly, suggesting where we should go first, ending every sentence with a heartfelt “Radhe Radhe.” Later, we found a hotel with some help from locals and decided to begin our temple visits the next morning.
We started with Radha Rani Temple and then ISKCON Temple. Each temple had its own divine energy, its own peaceful vibe. I saw many foreigners there too, all chanting “Radhe Radhe.” It felt beautiful to see people from around the world united by one divine name.
That evening, we went to Prem Mandir the temple everyone has seen in reels. We reached around dusk when the gates opened, and what I saw there left me speechless. The temple glowed with colorful lights, reflecting like jewels in the night. There were thousands of people, yet not a single negative thought could enter the mind. The entire atmosphere was pure, peaceful, and filled with love for Radhe Krishna.
The next morning was the most special one. We knew Premanand Ji Maharaj would give his divine darshan to devotees. We woke up early and reached the spot, only to find huge lines both sides of the road filled with people, stretching for kilometers. Some were holding flowers to shower on him, others were making rangoli on the path where Maharaj Ji would walk. Devotees were singing bhajans; the energy was beyond words.
Around 4:50 AM, everyone started chanting “Radhe Radhe!” The air filled with devotional music and the sound of instruments it was the moment! Surrounded by security and his closest devotees, Premanand Ji Maharaj arrived.
And when I saw him that moment will stay in my heart forever.
A divine glow, long hair, a calm smile, dressed in yellow he radiated peace. Everyone bowed down. As he raised both his hands and smiled at the crowd, I felt something shift inside me.
The chants of “Radhe Radhe” echoed everywhere, and for a few moments, it felt like heaven. If heaven exists on Earth, it’s there in that moment, in that feeling, in that faith.
I truly believe Premanand Ji Maharaj is the spiritual light of our generation.
If you ever get the chance, visit Vrindavan once. You’ll fall in love with him, with the devotion, and with the divine name.
