Premanand Ji Maharaj Reveals His Health Struggle
In a recent interaction with Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav and other devotees, Premanand Ji Maharaj made a heartbreaking revelation. With a calm smile, he said:
“both kidneys have failed; there is nothing left to fix about my health anymore; i have to go now if not today then tomorrow”.
These words, filled with spiritual acceptance, left his followers teary-eyed. In recent public appearances, the saint’s face appeared swollen, and his speech seemed faint, yet he maintained his trademark serenity.
For months, he had been battling chronic kidney disease, undergoing regular dialysis, and limiting his public interactions. His Shri Keli Kunj Ashram in Vrindavan had already issued advisories asking devotees not to wait on the roads for darshan or expect his morning walks, which were indefinitely suspended due to health reasons.

As soon as the news about Premanand Maharaj’s health spread, his followers began offering prayers and even kidneys to save the life of their beloved guru. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook flooded with emotional posts, prayers, and offers of organ donation.
Among those offering help was businessman Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty. The couple visited the saint’s ashram in Vrindavan in August and were deeply moved by his condition. During the visit, Kundra expressed his willingness to donate one of his kidneys to the guru. However, Premanand Ji Maharaj politely refused the offer, reportedly saying,
” my life span will remain the same with or without your kidney”
His refusal reflected his spiritual acceptance of destiny and the cycle of life and death—a principle central to Hindu philosophy.
Actor Ajaz Khan and Others Join the Gesture
Another well-known follower, actor Ajaz Khan, also offered to donate a kidney to the revered saint. In an emotional Facebook video, Ajaz said,
“premananda never said anything against any religion and never spread hate. i wish to meet him, and if my kidney matches, i want to donate it to him. please pray that he lives for 100 more years.”
Thousands of comments poured in on his video. “I am also ready to donate my kidney,” wrote one user. Another commented, “May Allah bless him with good health.”
The gesture reflected not just admiration but the spiritual unity and devotion that Premanand Ji Maharaj inspired across communities and religions.

In a remarkable act of interfaith harmony, Arif Khan Chishti, a Muslim man from Madhya Pradesh, wrote a heartfelt letter to the saint, offering one of his kidneys. In his letter, he expressed,
“the presence of saints like is necessary in the country’s current atmosphere of hatred. it doesn’t if i am alive or not-your life is very precious for this world. i voluntarily offer one of my kidneys to you. please accept this small gift from me.”
The letter quickly went viral, earning widespread praise for its message of unity and humanity. Followers across India lauded the gesture as a symbol of how spirituality transcends religion.
Growing Concern Among Devotees Worldwide
The growing concern over Premanand Maharaj’s kidney failure has united millions of followers in prayer. Devotees from India and abroad have been organizing special prayer sessions and bhajans in his name, hoping for a miracle recovery.
The ashram authorities have urged people to continue their prayers but respect the seer’s wish to limit his public appearances while he undergoes treatment.
Even as his health declines, Maharaj has continued to bless devotees who visit the ashram and occasionally deliver short spiritual messages emphasizing peace, devotion, and the acceptance of divine will.
Who Is Premanand Ji Maharaj?
Premanand Maharaj is one of India’s most prominent modern-day saints, known for spreading the teachings of Radha-Krishna bhakti and emphasizing selfless devotion. His sermons, delivered in simple Hindi, focus on moral living, spiritual purity, and the power of divine love.
He was born as Aniruddha Kumar Pandey in a deeply religious family. From a young age, he showed a strong inclination toward spirituality and worship. He would often spend hours reciting verses from the Bhagavad Gita and meditating in solitude.
Early Life and Spiritual Awakening

Aniruddha’s deep curiosity about the divine eventually led him to renounce worldly life. Without informing his family, he left home in pursuit of truth and divine realization. His journey took him to Varanasi, one of India’s oldest spiritual centers, where he lived among saints and learned the essence of renunciation and meditation.
It was during this time that he felt a powerful inner calling to visit Vrindavan, the sacred land associated with Lord Krishna and Radha. When he arrived there, he was overwhelmed by devotion and immersed himself in singing and worshipping.
He joined the Radha Vallabh sect, a spiritual lineage that emphasizes pure love for Radha and Krishna. After receiving spiritual initiation from Saint Mohit Goswami, Aniruddha adopted the name Premanand, which means “one who finds bliss in divine love.”
Rise to Prominence and Teachings
Premanand Ji Maharaj soon began giving spiritual discourses filled with love, wisdom, and humility. His calm demeanor and ability to explain complex spiritual truths in simple language attracted thousands of listeners.
Over time, he became one of Vrindavan’s most respected seers, known not only for his devotion but also for his compassion and tolerance toward all religions. He has often spoken about universal love, peace, and the unity of all faiths, gaining followers across social and cultural boundaries.
His influence grew beyond India, with devotees from countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia frequently visiting Vrindavan to seek his blessings.
