Is Premanand Maharaj unwell?

Premanand Maharaj, who was born as Anirudh Kumar Pandey, has been battling polycystic kidney disease (PKD) since 2006. He receives regular dialysis, sometimes daily, at his ashram in Vrindavan.

Despite many followers offering kidney donations, Maharaj has repeatedly declined all such offers.

His institution, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Parikar Shridham Vrindavan, has confirmed that he is doing well. It has urged devotees not to spread false rumours about his health.

The request follows recent viral trends on Google related to queries such as ' kya premanand maharaj nahi rahe ', ' premanand ji maharaj rip ', ' kya premanand ji nahin rahe ' and ' premanand ji maharaj deth '.
