										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="722" height="424" src="https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj-and-rasik-dulari-.png" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj-and-rasik-dulari-.png 722w, https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj-and-rasik-dulari--300x176.png 300w, https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj-and-rasik-dulari--357x210.png 357w" sizes="(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px" /></div><p class="isSelectedEnd">Spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj has delivered his first reported response following the death of his disciple Rasik Dulari Sharan, addressing themes of patience, criticism, humiliation, forgiveness and faith in God during a 23-minute video discourse.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Although Premanand Maharaj did not directly mention Rasik Dulari Sharan by name, his remarks focused on how people should respond to difficult circumstances, public criticism and allegations. The discourse has drawn attention amid questions surrounding the circumstances of the disciple’s death.</p>
<h2>What Did Premanand Maharaj Say in the Video?</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">During the discourse, Premanand Maharaj spoke about facing difficult situations with patience and maintaining faith in God. He suggested that when an innocent person faces criticism and allegations from society, they should remain composed rather than lose their patience.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He emphasised the importance of surrendering oneself to God during challenging times and maintaining spiritual strength in the face of adversity.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">His remarks also touched upon controversies and allegations, although he did not explicitly identify any individual or directly address the specific claims surrounding the incident.</p>
<h2>‘Criticism and Humiliation Can Be Like Flowers From God’</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Speaking about criticism and humiliation, Premanand Maharaj described them as experiences that devotees should learn to endure with faith and patience.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He referred to the examples of Meera Bai and Prahlad, who, according to traditional religious narratives, faced opposition and suffering but remained devoted to God.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The spiritual leader said that devotees should not allow humiliation or painful experiences to weaken their faith. Instead, they should view such challenges through the lens of devotion and accept difficult circumstances with patience.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">His message centred on remaining steadfast in faith even when faced with social criticism or personal hardship.</p>
<h2>Warning Against Falsehood, Anger and Jealousy</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Premanand Maharaj also advised his followers and disciples against resorting to falsehood or criticising others during periods of conflict.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He stressed that people should avoid jealousy and hostility and instead practise forgiveness. According to his message, individuals should not allow disputes or allegations to lead them towards anger or retaliatory behaviour.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">He further emphasised that people should place their trust in God and allow truth to prevail rather than engage in blame or counter-allegations.</p>
<h2>Rasik Dulari Sharan’s Death Raises Questions</h2>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Rasik Dulari Sharan, a disciple of Premanand Maharaj, was reportedly found dead under suspicious circumstances. Following the incident, her family questioned whether the death was natural and raised concerns about the possibility of other factors being involved.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The family also called for a proper investigation to establish the actual cause of death.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The circumstances surrounding her sudden demise have raised questions, and the police are investigating the case. As of the information available in the report, the exact cause of death had not been established.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">While Premanand Maharaj’s discourse addressed broader spiritual themes of patience, criticism and forgiveness, he did not directly name Rasik Dulari Sharan or explicitly connect his remarks to the specific allegations surrounding her death.</p>
<p>The investigation remains important in determining the circumstances of the incident and establishing the facts.</p>

CCTV footage and evidence collected from the scene have reportedly provided investigators with important clues, with preliminary findings pointing towards suicide. However, the reason behind the alleged suicide remains unclear.</p>
<h3>CCTV Footage Traces His Final Movements</h3>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">According to the investigation, CCTV recordings from different parts of the ashram are being examined to reconstruct Rasik Dulari Sharan’s movements before his death.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Footage from a room where he reportedly sustained severe injuries before the incident has surfaced. The recordings allegedly show him leaving the room carrying a blood-stained dhoti. Subsequent CCTV footage reportedly captures him walking towards a staircase.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Investigators are collecting recordings from multiple cameras to establish a clear sequence of events and determine what happened before his death.</p>
<h3>Blood Samples Sent for Forensic Examination</h3>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">After climbing the staircase, Rasik was reportedly seen moving towards the terrace, where his movements were also captured by CCTV cameras.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">Police have sent blood samples of the deceased for forensic examination. Investigators are reportedly trying to determine whether he had consumed any intoxicating substance before the incident. The forensic findings could provide additional information relevant to the investigation.</p>
<h3>Reason Behind Death Remains Unclear</h3>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">While the available evidence and CCTV footage are reportedly pointing towards suicide, investigators have not yet established the reason behind the extreme step. Police continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident and are looking into all relevant evidence.</p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd">The case has drawn considerable attention following a series of developments surrounding Premanand Maharaj’s ashram. Meanwhile, reports have also emerged that Premanand Maharaj has left the ashram.</p>
<p>The investigation remains underway, and further details are expected once the forensic examination and police inquiry are completed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom:20px;"><img width="725" height="360" src="https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj-.png" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj-.png 725w, https://odishaconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/premanand-maharaj--300x149.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px" /></div><p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">A fresh controversy has emerged around an ashram associated with spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan after the family of an 18-year-old man from Hathras alleged that they were unable to contact or meet him for nearly three months.</p>
<p>The development comes amid an ongoing police investigation into the death of Premanand Maharaj’s disciple Rasik Dulari Sharan, whose original name was Deepak Lodhi. Police are examining the circumstances surrounding his death after he fell from the fourth floor of a building in Vrindavan.</p>
<h2>Family Searches for Anuj for Three Months</h2>
<p>Anuj Chaudhary, a resident of Sadabad in Hathras district, reportedly travelled to Vrindavan around three months ago to seek initiation from Premanand Maharaj. According to his family, he did not return home after leaving for Vrindavan, and they were unable to establish regular contact with him.</p>
<p>The family said they repeatedly visited the ashram while searching for Anuj. They alleged that they were not given clear information about his whereabouts and were unable to meet him despite their repeated requests. These allegations have been reported by multiple news outlets.</p>
<h2>Ashram Reportedly Confirms His Presence</h2>
<p>According to reports, the situation changed after media attention and administrative pressure increased following Rasik Dulari Sharan’s death. The family claims that the ashram management eventually acknowledged that Anuj was present there and assured them that he would be handed over after completing the necessary formalities.</p>
<p>The family has questioned why they were allegedly unable to receive information about Anuj or meet him for such an extended period if he was safe inside the ashram.</p>
<h2>Questions Following Disciple’s Death</h2>
<p>The controversy has surfaced while the investigation into Rasik Dulari Sharan’s death remains underway. Police have examined CCTV footage, forensic evidence and other material as part of the probe. Initial police statements indicated that suicide was suspected, but investigators have been examining the circumstances surrounding the death.</p>
<p>Rasik Dulari Sharan’s family had also previously raised concerns about difficulties in meeting him, according to reports.</p>
<h2>Calls for Transparent Investigation</h2>
<p>The latest allegations have led to calls from family members and local residents for greater transparency regarding the functioning of the ashram, including the treatment and welfare of devotees residing there.</p>
<p>The allegations against the ashram have not, by themselves, established wrongdoing, and the claims regarding Anuj’s circumstances and the earlier death remain matters for the authorities to investigate. The focus is now on establishing the facts surrounding Anuj’s stay at the ashram and ensuring that his family can obtain clear information about his wellbeing.</p>
