Rambhadracharya Maharaj Challenges Sant Premanand Maharaj to Speak Sanskrit
Rambhadracharya Maharaj: Jagadguru Maharaj issued a challenge to Sant Premanand Maharaj in regards to his Sanskrit Knowledge, saying that Premanand was neither a scholar nor capable of performing miracles. This spiritual leader’s remarks were made during a YouTube interview, which has been causing controversy among religious groups.
Rambhadracharya Maharaj responded to claims that circulated on social media regarding Sant Premanand Maharaj’s supposed miraculous abilities. Rambhadracharya Mahraj said that there are no miracles. If there were miracles, then I would challenge Premanand Ji to explain even the meaning of the Sanskrit words that I repeat.
Shri Tulsipeethadhishwar stated that Sant Premanand is like a small child in comparison to his own academic achievements. Rambhadracharya Maharaj also commented that Premanand’s popularity was temporary and fleeting.
Saints and religious leaders from Vrindavan were outraged by the controversial comments that quickly spread on social media. A meeting of Saints at Radhanandgiri Maharaj’s Ashram in Vrindavan was held to address the rising tension.
Rambhadracharya Maharaj made some remarks that several prominent religious leaders criticized. Dinesh Falhari voiced his dismay, saying Rambhadracharya Maharaj is an outstanding saint, but such arrogant speech does not fit him. Pride was also evident.
Mahant Abhidas, Mahendra Madhusudan Maharaj, and Mahant Abhidas defended Sant Premanand Maharaj by highlighting his contribution to unifying saints and religious groups. The two men argued that such comments were unwarranted and inappropriate.
Some religious leaders have divided opinions over the controversy. While some support Rambhadracharya’s calls for academic accountability, others find his remarks unnecessarily harsh.
The incident highlights the ongoing discussions within India’s religion community regarding spiritual authority, academic credentials, and the importance of the Sanskrit tradition in religious practice. Rambhadracharya’s challenge has raised questions about the authenticity of spiritual leaders today.
