Concerns are mounting among devotees of Premanand Maharaj Ji, a highly respected spiritual figure in Vrindavan, as his health has taken a serious turn. The saint has suspended his daily foot pilgrimage, a practice he has maintained diligently, for the past three days. The Shri Kali Kunj Ashram has issued a formal notice confirming the indefinite postponement of his ‘padyatra’ due to his declining health.
Evidence suggests that Premanand Maharaj Ji is grappling with advanced kidney failure, a condition that has impacted both of his kidneys. This diagnosis has led to noticeable physical symptoms, including swollen, red eyes and facial puffiness, as seen in a recent video shared on his official social media channels. Devotees worldwide are sending their prayers and support as the Maharaj navigates this critical period.
Information indicates that the Maharaj has lived with compromised kidney function for nearly two decades. His dialysis treatments, previously five times a week, have now become a daily requirement to manage the condition. Despite these intense medical needs, Premanand Maharaj Ji is actively engaged in dispelling rumors, stating he is not in intensive care and encouraging followers to rely on official updates. He maintains his early morning routines and spiritual discourses, demonstrating remarkable fortitude. His restricted diet, limited to half a roti and minimal vegetables, has not diminished his spirit, which he sustains through deep devotion and the chanting of divine names.
