As soon as this news came out, disappointment was seen among his followers, but at the same time everyone is giving priority to Maharaj ji's health.

Step taken due to increasing crowd

During this padayatra of Premanand Maharaj, thousands of devotees used to gather on the roadside every day and participate in bhajan-kirtan. Devotees used to enthusiastically join the yatra amidst drums and bhajans. But, in the last few days, objections were lodged by the local residents regarding this event.

Protest was done regarding the padayatra

Let us tell you that recently, 2 days ago, the residents of NRI Green Colony of Vrindavan had protested against the noise pollution caused by this padayatra. The protesters, carrying placards in their hands, raised slogans and demanded action from the administration.

Disappointment among devotees

Premanand Maharaj's devotees have certainly been disappointed by this decision, but they are considering Maharaj ji's health more important. Many devotees have shared messages on social media praying for Maharaj ji's long life and good health.

Will padayatra start again?
