The Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Parikar Shridham Vrindavan administration clarified that Premanand Ji Maharaj is receiving full medical attention and remains in stable condition. The Ashram requested devotees not to believe or spread rumours circulating online after a video showing the saint with a swollen face went viral.
While his daily morning walks have been paused for now, the Ashram confirmed that Maharaj continues his spiritual activities and routine guidance to followers.
What Premanand Ji Maharaj Said About His Condition
In a heartfelt statement shared during a conversation with YouTuber Elvish Yadav, Premanand Ji Maharaj spoke openly about his health, saying:
“Dono kidney fail hai, theek kya hona hai ab to jaana hai. Ab theek hone ko kuch nahi bacha.” (Both kidneys have failed. What is there to be fixed now? It’s time to go; there is nothing left to recover.)
His words reflected acceptance and deep spiritual strength. Despite numerous devotees offering kidney donations, Maharaj has always declined, saying he does not wish to cause pain or harm to anyone else.
Medical Condition and Long-Term Treatment
According to reports by ABP Live, Premanand Ji Maharaj has been battling polycystic kidney disease — a genetic condition that has led to complete kidney failure. He is currently undergoing daily dialysis and has been on the treatment for almost two decades. Despite this, he has continued his spiritual activities, discourses, and personal interactions with devotees.
Devotees Unite in Prayers Across Faiths
The concern for Maharaj’s well-being has transcended religious boundaries. A viral video showed a Muslim devotee, Sufiyan Allahabadi, praying for Maharaj’s recovery from Medina, Saudi Arabia. With the holy mosque in the background, he expressed his respect, saying:
“Sant Premanand Maharaj is a very good person. From here, we pray that Allah grants him health and wellness.”
This gesture highlighted the universal appeal of Maharaj’s message of compassion, simplicity, and devotion.
