Vrindavan premanandji Maharaj Darshan: In a announcement, the revered Saint Premanand Maharaj has decided to postpone his nightly padyatra (foot pilgrimage) in Vrindavan. This decision comes in the wake of the recent incident at the Hathras Satsang, where a number of devotees lost their lives.

In a press release issued by Shriradha Kelikunj, Saint Premanand's ashram, the leader expressed his condolences to the families of the deceased. As a mark of respect, the planned night-time procession through the streets of Vrindavan has been suspended until further notice.

Instead, the saint will now make the journey to the Shri Radha Kelikunj Ashram in Ramanreti by car. Devotees have been urged not to gather along the route, as the saint's movements will be restricted to the vehicle only.

Premanandji Maharaj Night Padhyatra

Previously, Saint Premanand would take the 2.5-kilometre walk from the Shri Krishna Sharanam Residential Apartments to the ashram, arriving at around 2:30 am. This nightly pilgrimage would attract thousands of devotees, who would gather from as early as midnight to catch a glimpse of the revered figure.

Alternative Arrangement For Premanand Maharaj Darshan

In a bid to still allow devotees to have the darshan of the Premanandji, the ashram has made alternative arrangements. Starting at 9:30 am each day, the disciples of Premanand Maharaj will distribute tokens, which will grant the holder access to a private audience with the saint the following day.

For those unable to attend the private darshan, there is an option to pay respects through baskets provided at the ashram at 7:30 pm on the same day. This will enable devotees to have the darshan of the saint without physically being present.
