Premanand Maharaj Honours Guru Sharananand

New Delhi, October 10, 2025: Premanand Maharaj, performing an act of profound devotion by washing the feet of a fellow spiritual leader has been widely circulated on social media, capturing the public’s attention. The saint receiving this extraordinary reverence was identified as Guru Sharananand Maharaj of Ramanreti Mahavan. The deeply emotional meeting, which was captured at Premanand Maharaj’s Keli Kunj Ashram, has been described as a poignant display of the Guru-Shishya (teacher-disciple) tradition.

A Symbol of Humility and Respect

The viral footage showed Premanand Maharaj immediately prostrating himself (performing Shashtaang Dandvat Pranam) upon seeing Guru Sharananand Maharaj. It was reported that he then insisted on having his senior counterpart seated on his own spiritual seat, an act of supreme humility that is rarely witnessed in the public eye. The entire atmosphere was said to have been charged with emotion, with tears being seen in the eyes of both saints as they embraced.

The most powerful moment in the video was observed when Premanand Maharaj himself was seen personally washing Guru Sharananand Maharaj’s feet with his own hands before gently drying them with his scarf. Following this, an aarti (a form of worship involving lamps) was performed by Premanand Maharaj in a gesture of profound respect and devotion. The spectacle was noted to have moved all other saints and devotees present at the Ashram.

About Guru Sharananand Maharaj

Guru Sharananand Maharaj is known as the Mahant (chief priest) of the Ramanreti Mahavan Ashram in Vrindavan, a significant spiritual centre in the region. He is recognised as a respected spiritual figure and a contemporary as well as a collaborator of Premanand Maharaj, particularly in the realm of Bhakti (devotion) and spiritual discourses. The visit itself was undertaken by Guru Sharananand Maharaj to inquire about the health of Premanand Maharaj, following recent public concerns about his well-being.

The extraordinary deference was explained by many followers as a pure reflection of the deep bond and mutual respect shared between the two spiritual leaders, with some referring to Guru Sharananand Maharaj as Premanand Maharaj’s spiritual mentor. The incident has been highlighted as a powerful lesson in respect for one’s elders and spiritual guides, transcending their own fame and following. The widespread dissemination of the video is believed to have reinforced the values of humility and service among their millions of devotees worldwide.
