Premanand Ji Maharaj: In today’s age, where fast food, lifestyle and modern thinking are taken as a measure of progress, the words of the saints force people to look back to their roots. Recently, a part of Sant Primanand Ji Maharaj’s sermon is increasingly going viral on social media. During this, a devotee asked him a question that people living abroad eat non-vegetarian food, but how do they progress so much economically and socially?

The question seemed simple, but the answer given by Premanand Ji Maharaj forced many people to think. Not only did he talk about non-vegetarian food, he also explained the importance of modern life, mental peace, Indian culture and spirituality in very simple words. That is why his words are increasingly discussed among people and also awaken a sense of pride in Indian culture.

“Time will explain itself” – What did Premanand Ji Maharaj say about non-vegetarianism?
The devotee tells Maharaj ji that he considers vegetarianism right and is also trying to convince people about it, but people start arguing with him. To this Premanand Ji Maharaj responded in a calm voice and said not everyone understands immediately, time makes some people understand. He said that chickens, goats or any other creature are not just food, they also have life, and if people stop consuming them, their killing will stop as well. Maharaj Ji further said that in any wrongful act, not only the person who does it, but also the person who promotes it and benefits from it is an equal partner. His statement is being shared widely on social media. Many people associate it with Indian culture and the idea of ​​non-violence. What is distinctive is that he did not talk about anger or pressure on anyone, but rather called time and understanding the greatest teachers.

“Do not consider the brilliance of foreign countries as progress.”
1. Money and happiness are not always the same thing
The devotee also wondered that if eating non-vegetarian food is wrong, then why do people living in foreign countries seem so sophisticated and successful? In this regard, Premanand Ji Maharaj said that merely getting money or obtaining material happiness is not real progress. He said that if there is so much happiness in foreign countries, why do people there come to India and seek peace at the feet of saints? Why do people come here to learn yoga, meditation and spirituality? Maharaj Ji clearly said that outer brilliance and inner peace are two different things.
He also said that stress and loneliness are rapidly increasing in the world today. People living in large countries also suffer from depression, stress, and distance in relationships. In such a situation, considering only economic progress as success is an incomplete view.

2. “Lack of belonging is the greatest sadness.”
Premanand Ji Maharaj also said that many Indians living abroad have become financially strong, but they do not feel the sense of belonging and family ties as they do in their own country. He said that the greatest strength in Indian culture is emotional relationships and bonds. Many people were seen connecting with his words. People also wrote on social media that comfort has increased in modern life, but peace is decreasing.

3. Concern about the increasing cases of depression in children
Spirituality and modern education must go together: During the talk, Premanand Ji Maharaj also expressed concern about the growing depression and stress among children. He said that education today is just teaching children to compete in the outside world, but they are getting less education to become strong from within. Maharaj Ji said that if children are taught Indian history, stories of saints and spirituality, their mental strength will increase. Citing examples like Savitri, Anusuya and Raja Shivi, he said Indian culture teaches sacrifice, kindness and compassion. He gave the example of King Shevi, saying that the king donated his meat to save a pigeon. This is not just a story, but a message of compassion towards living beings.

4. What message did Premanand Ji Maharaj give to society?
Concluding his speech, Premanand Ji Maharaj said that modern education is important, but besides that spirituality and values ​​are equally important, if both go together, only then can society progress in the true sense.

The impact of his words is more evident because he did not try to impose his thinking on anyone, but rather gave the message to people to think and understand for themselves.
