Premanand Govind Sharan (born Aniruddh Kumar Pandey, 1972),[5] known to his followers as Premanand, is an Indian Hindu guru.[6] He belongs to the Radhavallabh Sect.[7][8][9][10]

Early years

[edit]

Premanand was born in 1972 in the Akhri village, Sarsaul Block, near Kanpur[11][1] to Rama Devi and Shambhu Pandey. At the age of 13 he left his ancestral home and took sannyasa.[12]

Spiritual learnings and moved to Vrindavan

[edit]

After he initiated into celibacy and took on the ascetic vows of Sannyasa, he was given the name Anandswaroop Brahmachari, who thereafter accepted Sannyasa. On accepting the Mahavakya, he was named Swami Anandashram. He lived most of his early life as a spiritual seeker on the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi. While in Vrindavan meditating beneath a peepal tree in Banaras, a saint requested him repeatedly to watch Raas Leela the next day, which Premanand Maharaj accepted reluctantly as god's will.[2][13][14] He initiated into the Radhavallabhi Sampradaya by attaining the "Sharanagati Mantra" and met his current Sadgurudev Pujya Shri Hit Gaurangi Sharanji Maharaj or Bade Guruji. Bade Guruji gave him the "Nij Mantra," which is the initiation of "Sahachari Bhava" and "Nitya Vihar Rasa," which let him enter the Rasik Saints.[15][16]

Guru

[edit]

A Radhavallabhi Goswami ji initiated Maharaj into the Radhavallabhi sect through the "Sharanagati Mantra." A few days later, at Pujya Shri Goswami Ji's insistence, Maharaj Ji met his current Sadgurudev, Pujya Shri Hit Gaurangi Sharanji Maharaj, also called Bade Guruji, one of the most revered and well known Saints of Sahachari Bhava. Pujya Shri Hit Gaurangi Sharanji Maharaj gave him the "Niz Mantra," which is the initiation of "Sahachari Bhava" and "Nitya Vihar Rasa," i.e. Thus, Pujya Maharaj ji has entered the Rasik Saints.[17][2]

Trust

[edit]
Sri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Ashram

The Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Trust Vrindavan is a non-profit organization founded in 2016.[18] The states aim of the trust is to work for the betterment and upliftment of society and its people. It offers logding, food, clothing, medical care, and other necessities to pilgrimages to Vrindavan Dham.[19][20]

Spiritual Teachings & Philosophy

[edit]

From early phase, he has stated to oppose the hierarchical life of the ashram. He discusses that spirituality is the essence of life, existence, and truth.[21] and emphasis that Guru has great importance in everyone's life.[4] Spiritual power maintains harmony in personal and social relationships. A negative character can be very dangerous; don't spoil your character.[22] Preserve the invaluable asset of celibacy (Brahmacharya), which greatly assists in leading a healthy, balanced, and spiritually oriented life.[23]
