Vrindavan’s well-known saint Premanand Ji Maharaj needs no introduction. He has millions of devotees not only in India but also abroad. Through his sweet words and satsang, he not only imparts spiritual knowledge, but also provides easy solutions to practical problems of life.

Recently, in a satsang, a young man asked him, “I want to get married in love, but my parents do not agree, what should I do?” Sant Premanand Ji Maharaj’s answer became a deep thought-provoking message not only for that young man, but for every young man and parent.

Lying is not a sin in three situations, know what Premanand Maharaj said

What he said about parents

Premanand Maharaj said that today’s parents should understand that today’s era is new. If your children ask your permission, bow down to your feet with their hands, then you should respect them. He says, you should not destroy your self-respect by showing superiority.

He also says, if you do not treat your children well, they will not listen to you. If both the boy and the girl love each other, then you should not quarrel. You should not even think that, ‘If you marry this girl, then we will abandon you.’ He says, the family should think carefully and listen to the matter. You should talk to the girl and see if she is a cheater. Meet the boy two or four times, meet his family members, see his behavior.

Observe celibacy until marriage

Is it wrong or really beautiful to be chaste until marriage? In response to this question, Sant Premanand Ji first clarifies that observing celibacy until marriage, that is, maintaining chastity in the relationship, should be done. He says, if the love is true and moderate, then it is not wrong, but very beautiful. He also emphasizes that the permission and blessings of the parents are very important. He suggests, “Both boys and girls should place their hands on their parents’ feet and very humbly say, ‘We have become friends and now want to be together for the rest of our lives. We do not want to take this step without your blessings and permission.'” He also says that many young people today act on their own accord and disobey their parents, which often leads to regret in the future.
