Premanand Maharaj, a well-known spiritual figure, is followed by countless devotees from across India and even abroad. Through his satsangs shared online, he speaks about both worldly matters and spiritual paths often engaging with people during live Q&A sessions. In one such video that recently surfaced online, a devotee approached him asking for blessings and claimed he was suffering from back pain.
But instead of offering a spiritual response, Premanand Maharaj gave a very practical reply. He reminded the man that such health problems needed medical attention not spiritual intervention.
“Peth mein dard hai toh baba ji isme kya karenge. Jaise kisi ko rog hai, kisi ko dard hai toh doctor ke pas jaye. Pain, what will a baba do? If someone is ILL or in Pain, they should go to a doctor.
Along with his practical advice, Premanand Maharaj also reminded the man to live a good life by doing positive deeds.

This simple and honest answer struck a chord with people online. The video attracted a wave of positive responses.
One user commented, “The one and only sensible preacher these days.”
Another wrote, “One of the few humans alive who are worthy of admiration.”
“Finally, a baba talking sense and not chasing money…Well done,” someone else remarked while a viewer added, “He is already ahead of his times. He is some sort of an ideal baba guru our Hindu dharma needs.”
Who is Premanand Maharaj?
Premanand Maharaj was born in Kanpur, into a Brahmin family. His birth name was Anirudh Kumar Pandey. His father, Shri Shambhu Pandey and his mother, Shrimati Rama Devi, raised him in a religious environment. His grandfather first embraced sanyas. His father was a devotee and his elder brother would recite the Bhagwat Gita every day.
From a very young age, Premanand Maharaj showed interest in spirituality. While other children played games, he spent time meditating, chanting and listening to stories of saints and holy scriptures. At just 13 years old, he left his home to walk the spiritual path. He followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and became a sanyasi.
A turning point in his journey came when he was introduced to Raas Leela, the divine dance of Radha and Krishna, by a saint. This moment changed his life deeply. He then moved to Vrindavan where he started his spiritual practices at Banke Bihari’s temple.
Over time, Premanand Maharaj’s teachings and presence began attracting more and more people. On Instagram, he has more than twenty million followers. On YouTube, his channel has crossed two million subscribers.
