Premanand Maharaj’s Nightly Padayatra Faces Changes
Premanand Maharaj’s nightly padayatra, which typically begins at 2:15 PM and leads to his ashram, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, has transformed. Devotees used to stand in long queues at night to catch a glimpse of the revered spiritual leader. However, Premanand Maharaj now insists that devotees refrain from standing in his path during darshan hours.
