Teen Girl Breaks Down Before Saint Premananda: 'I Drugged My Grandma to Meet My Boyfriend
Vrindavan (The Uttam Hindu) : In the serene and spiritual surroundings of Vrindavan, a deeply moving incident recently unfolded at the ashram of Premanand Ji Maharaj, leaving devotees shaken. Known for offering spiritual guidance to seekers from across India and abroad, the ashram became the backdrop for a powerful moment of truth when an 18-year-old girl arrived not just as a devotee, but as someone seeking redemption.
“I Am Only 18, But I’ve Ruined Everything”
With tears in her eyes, the young girl opened up before Premanand Ji Maharaj and the gathered devotees, revealing the painful reality of her life. She admitted to being caught in a downward spiral of addiction—alcohol, smoking, and reckless behavior had taken over her life. In a shocking confession, she revealed that she once drugged her own grandmother just to bring a man home, an act she now deeply regrets.
“Now I Regret Everything. I Want to Change.”
Choked with emotion, she said, “Maharaj Ji, I don’t know what I’ve become. I did everything wrong, but now I truly want to change.” Her words were filled with remorse and a desperate plea for help.
Premanand Ji Maharaj’s Firm Yet Hopeful Response
Listening intently, Premanand Ji responded with a mix of strictness and compassion. “If you genuinely want to change, you’ve already taken the first step. But remember — no power in the world can help you unless you decide to help yourself,” he told her.
He gave her two clear instructions:
Immediately give up addiction and bad company.
Let go of the past and focus on building a better future.
When the girl expressed that she lacked the strength to make such a change, Maharaj Ji responded with stern encouragement: “You had the strength to drink, smoke, and drug your grandmother—don’t say you don’t have strength. If you had the courage to destroy, you also have the courage to rebuild. It’s shameful to run from your own responsibility.”
Rejected by Her Family
Adding to her pain, the girl revealed that her family had turned their backs on her. Her parents had even threatened to evict her from the house, beginning the legal process to disown her.
Maharaj Ji’s Appeal to the Family: “Don’t Abandon Her”
In a powerful message to her family and society, Premanand Ji urged compassion:
“When someone reaches out for help and change, it’s the duty of the family and society to support them. If you throw her out now, she will fall even further. Don’t punish her—give her a chance. If you don’t, her destruction is guaranteed.”
The emotional exchange has resonated with many, highlighting the urgent need for empathy, support, and second chances—especially for those seeking to break free from their past and start anew.
