Premanand Maharaj
Premanand Maharaj Teachings: In today’s busy life, stress, depression and bad habits are making a person hollow from within. Many times such a situation arises when a person starts feeling his own life as a burden. While answering the question of one such devotee, Premanand Maharaj has shown a new way of living life. He told that it is not impossible to get rid of mental disturbance and bad habits, it just requires right direction and determination. Let us know what solutions he gave for this.
There is immense power in chanting the name.
According to Premanand Maharaj, the biggest battle of life is not outside, but within the mind. If control over the mind is achieved, life can automatically become light and joyful. When you are completely defeated in your mind and cannot find any way out, then take the help of chanting the name. You start continuously mentally chanting the name of Radha-Radha or the name of your favorite deity. Maharaj ji says that chanting the name has the power to root out even the biggest bad habits. It creates self-confidence within you.
control the senses
To control the mind, Premanand Maharaj has given two strict precautions.
Abandoning wrong views: Immediately stop watching obscene and negative scenes on mobile or internet. These pollute the mind.
Satvik Food: Avoid Tamasic food and adopt Satvik diet. As will be the food, so will be the mind. You will have to take drastic steps to give up old practices.
physical exercise is mandatory
For mental peace, it is important for the body to be healthy.
Run 2-3 kilometers every morning.
Do squats or exercises for 15-20 minutes. Exercising refreshes the brain and helps divert attention from dirty or negative thoughts.
don’t give up
If you are trying to give up a bad habit and are failing again and again, don’t be discouraged. Premanand Maharaj says, if you have lost 100 times, try to win again for the 101st time. Consider yourself a part of God, not helpless. The only way to avoid depression is to not lose courage.
surrender and call
When lust, anger or any negative thoughts start dominating you, instead of panicking, call God. Just as we call our loved ones in distress, we should say, O Lord, please protect me. The message of Premanand Maharaj is clear that money and worldly pleasures will be of use only till the body lasts. Real peace comes only through bhajan and spirituality. They say that you should dedicate every action of yours to God, just keep in mind that it should not be a sinful action.
