Mathura –

Renowned spiritual leader Premanand Ji Maharaj has once again found himself at the center of public attention after delivering a series of fiery remarks on modern youth culture, morality, and relationships.

During a recent discourse, Maharaj strongly criticized certain lifestyle choices among young people—such as drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and inviting romantic partners home. “How dare you live this way and still expect respect from society?” he reportedly told a young woman in an interaction that has since gone viral.

Social Media Storm and Death Threat

Following these statements, a storm erupted on social media. While many followers praised him for speaking openly about moral values, others accused him of being overly judgmental and disconnected from modern realities.

The controversy took a dangerous turn when Maharaj allegedly received a death threat via Facebook from an agitated youth. Police have taken the matter seriously, and additional security measures are reportedly in place for the spiritual leader.

Views on Relationships and Morality

In another gathering, a devotee asked what to do if a spouse is involved in an extramarital affair. Maharaj advised patience, dialogue, and reconciliation before considering divorce, calling love and understanding “the real cure for relationship crises.”

Addressing cases like the recent “Muskan–Sonam” disputes in the media, he encouraged people to turn towards satsang and spiritual practice to heal broken bonds.

Mantras Are Sacred, Not Fashion

Earlier this year, Maharaj also commented on the growing trend of wearing clothes printed with sacred mantras. He warned that spiritual words should not be reduced to fashion accessories, stressing that mantras are meant for chanting and devotion, not display.

Balancing Tradition and Modern Life

Premanand Ji Maharaj’s statements have reignited an ongoing national conversation about how to balance cultural traditions with the fast-changing lifestyles of today’s youth. Supporters view him as a voice for moral discipline, while critics believe his approach risks alienating the younger generation.

As the debate continues, one thing is clear—Maharaj’s voice remains 

powerful, polarizing, and impossible to ignore.
