Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra recently visited Premanand Ji Maharaj at his Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan. During their meeting, Shilpa sought Maharaj's advice on finding peace, to which he replied, "Just chant the name of Radharani. It does everything by itself. Makes life simple. Then nothing feels difficult."
Raj Kundra showed his devotion by offering to donate one of his kidneys to Maharaj, saying, "Maharaj ji, I wish you would take one of my kidneys. I want to donate it to you." However, Maharaj politely declined, stating, "No, no... there's no need for this. If I have one kidney, I will live for the same number of days as I would without both. This is the reality... Until God wishes, the call will not come". The couple participated in Maharaj's satsang, listening intently with folded hands.
Shilpa Shetty learned the power of name chanting from Premanand Maharaj, who advised her to chant "Radha" for peace and simplicity. According to Maharaj, chanting Radha's name, regardless of the method, can free one from troubles and lead to a successful life journey if one follows the words of saints.

Premanand Ji Maharaj said, "I have one prayer for you that life is also an act. We have to live life while acting. But for whom should we live this life? This question needs to be resolved. We earn money, do everything, for whose comfort, comfort for what - for life. But the question arises - life is for whom? If life is for the Divine, then life becomes blessed. Otherwise neither wealth will remain, nor prosperity will remain, nor acting will remain, nor body will remain, there will come a time that will erase even our name and identity."
After visiting Sant Premanand's ashram, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra headed to the revered Radha Rani Temple in Barsana, also known as Shriji Temple. Upon arrival, they had darshan, performed worship and bowed their heads in reverence. As a gesture of hospitality, Temple Sevayat Chandar Goswami presented them with an odhani, a traditional scarf.
