Vrindavan, January 20, 2026: In the spiritual world, a question is often asked: Can we still communicate with Gurus who are no longer physically among us? Addressing this profound curiosity, a video of Vrindavan’s Premanand Ji Maharaj is going viral on social media today. In this video, Maharaj Ji uses the example of Neem Karoli Baba to explain the subtle, metaphysical bond between a devotee and a Guru.
In the video, a devotee asked Maharaj Ji: "Baba, I want to share my heart with Neem Karoli Baba of Kainchi Dham, but he is no longer in his physical body. How do I connect with him?" To this, Maharaj Ji replied with deep simplicity:
Residing in the Heart: Premanand Ji explained that a Guru never truly leaves. They reside within the heart of the devotee. If your faith is sincere, you do not need to go anywhere outside or shout to be heard.
Silent Dialogue: He taught that one should sit quietly, close their eyes, and feel as if Baba is present right in front of them. Any thought you bring to your mind reaches the Guru instantly because they are omnipresent.
Faith is the Medium: According to Maharaj Ji, the distance between a Guru and a disciple is created only by 'distrust.' The moment you have absolute faith, the dialogue begins.
While Neem Karoli Baba is revered as an incarnation of Lord Hanuman—attracting global icons like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg to his Kainchi Dham for peace—Premanand Maharaj is currently guiding millions of youth through the glory of 'Radha Naam.'
Common Ground: Both saints have emphasized 'Naam Jap' (chanting the Divine Name) and 'Service to Humanity' as the simplest paths to God-realization.
Social Media Impact: Short clips of Premanand Maharaj’s discourses are bridging the gap for the younger generation, connecting them to the teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, Shri Hit Harivansh Mahaprabhu, and other ancient lineages.
At the conclusion of this discussion, Maharaj Ji clarified that great souls like Neem Karoli Baba are beyond the boundaries of time and space. If you love them, the most effective way to communicate is to embody their teachings: "Love everyone, serve everyone, feed everyone, and remember God." This, he says, is the most powerful way to stay in conversation with the Divine.
