Who is Premanand Ji Maharaj: 5 of his teachings that are mantras for modern life
In today's fast-paced world, where social media updates appear faster than thoughts can settle and the pressure to continually prove oneself rarely eases, many Indians are looking for deeper meaning.
Even as trends and technology shift every day, the desire for clarity, peace, and purpose remains constant. It is in this context that the teachings of Premanand Ji Maharaj, a spiritual teacher from Vrindavan, have gradually gained attention.
Without relying on self-promotion or polished branding, Maharaj Ji has attracted followers across different age groups– from students to professionals and even public figures– who appreciate his simple, practical approach.
Many feel that his guidance speaks directly to their daily lives. Rather than offer abstract or overly theoretical spiritual advice, his teachings focus on common challenges like stress, expectations, ego, and emotional unease.
Here are five of Premanand Ji Maharaj's core teachings that may be especially relevant for those seeking balance, purpose, and inner calm in today's world:
True peace comes from letting go, not holding on
Premanand Ji Maharaj often points out that much of our emotional struggle stems from the need to control every outcome, whether in our relationships, careers, or personal goals.

His advice is straightforward: do your part with sincerity, but let go of the constant need to manage every detail. He emphasizes that surrendering to the divine will is not a sign of helplessness. Rather, it is a way to reduce unnecessary anxiety and allow life to unfold naturally.
Success is a shared path of effort and divine grace
Success, according to Premanand Ji Maharaj, is a combination of merit, good deeds, and God's blessings. He explains that there are two kinds of people– those who believe their achievements come purely from their own hard work, and those who credit all their success to divine will.
Maharaj Ji, however, emphasizes a more balanced view. Success is never entirely one or the other; it is the result of sincere effort, past good actions, and divine grace working together.
In his teaching, neither the individual nor the higher power is solely responsible. Instead, success emerges as a shared process– a partnership between one's own actions and the blessings that help make them fruitful.
Life will keep changing– don't let it shake your core
Whether it's career uncertainty, personal loss, or shifting relationships, Maharaj Ji reminds people that change is a constant.
Rather than fearing it, he encourages acceptance. His teachings often highlight the importance of maintaining inner stability even when outer circumstances feel unpredictable.
He frequently advises people not to let difficult times take away their hope, and not to let good times inflate their ego. Emotional balance, he believes, is one of the most valuable spiritual strengths a person can cultivate.
Mind your words– they shape more than just conversations
In moments of anger or stress, words can easily become harmful.
Maharaj Ji encourages people to speak with care and responsibility. He often points out that every word carries energy that affects not only those who hear it but also the speaker themselves. Being conscious of language, he explains, doesn't mean one must always be soft-spoken. It means being aware of the impact of one's words, especially during difficult or tense conversations.
Let achievement be quiet– don't let ego walk ahead of you
With rising visibility, fame, and financial success often comes an inflated sense of self. Maharaj Ji cautions that ego is one of the quickest ways to lose balance, even after reaching great heights. Despite his large following, he continues to live a disciplined and humble life. Through his example, he reminds others that inner growth should always take priority over outward image.

Are Indians The Most Overworked People On Earth? Netizens Debate Over Viral Post Claim
Last Updated: His observation, made in response to a conversation about reservation and employment, has sparked wide-ranging responses online A viral post on social media platform X has reignited discussions around work culture, education pressure, and social mobility in India. The comment, made by user named, Akshat Shrivastava, claimed that 'Indians are the most overworked people on earth. Not by choice. But, by system." His observation, made in response to a conversation about reservation and employment, has sparked wide-ranging responses online — from agreement to criticism, and everything in between. In a detailed post, Shrivastava outlined why he believes this pattern of overwork is deeply embedded in Indian society. He wrote: 'Kids studying for IITs would easily study 10-12 hours/day. This ability to 'slog" continues at work. This habit to 'slog" continues in adult life… While their European colleagues would have 'down time", Indians would sacrifice their sleep, family and health, to serve their company." Shrivastava pointed to the pressures young Indians face early in life, stating that the drive to overwork often stems from a lack of options and economic security. 'What's the root cause of all this? Well, it comes down to building survival instincts from a young age. Many hardworking kids have no choice but to slog. Build merit–> build a better life. That's their only option to a better life." His post was a reply to another user, Ravi, who had commented on the reservation system, stating that general category students do not lose seats to reserved category applicants, but to other general category candidates. Shrivastava's response quickly went viral, sparking a flurry of reactions. Some users supported his perspective, agreeing that Indian society encourages relentless effort from a young age. 'Indians don't hustle out of ambition. They hustle because the system taught them there's no safety net, only grind or fall," a comment read. 'Glorifying 'slogging' as the only path feels like accepting a broken system. Isn't the real tragedy that survival depends on such extremes?," another user responded. Others, however, pushed back against the idea that overwork should be normalised. 'Hard work is not a problem. Mindset is. Indians need to know: hard work isn't always the key to success — leverage is." 'Indians are often trapped in a cycle of relentless hard work, chasing middle-class stability without questioning the true return on investment for their efforts. The grind for IIT or NIT can open doors, but why does the pressure to top the class start so early, robbing teens of their youth?," another added. One user sharply criticised Shrivastava for lacking social insight, despite his strong grasp of financial matters: 'I've never seen someone so brilliantly astute when it comes to financial literacy and that part of the horizon and then be a completely oblivious illiterate when it comes to social aspects. just fascinating that someone can be this knowledgeable and this ignorant at the same time."
