== Spiritual journey ==
In the 5th grade, his spiritual journey began as he delved into the teachings of the ''[[Bhagavad Gita]].'' This marked the start of his growing interest in spirituality and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Live |first=A. B.

At the age of 13, he made a decision to embrace celibacy and renounced his family to become a Sanyasi. During this phase, he was named "Aryan Brahmachari."<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Premanand ji maharaj: कितने पढ़े-लिखे हैं प्रेमानंद जी महाराज, कैसे बन गए संन्यासी? जानें सबकुछ यहां |url=https://hindi.oneindia.com/news/uttar-pradesh/premanand-ji-maharaj-education-qualification-premanand-ji-maharaj-kitne-padhe-likhe-hain-799843.html |access-date=10 September 2023 |website=Oneindia}}</ref>

== Journey to Vrindavan ==
One of the most significant episodes in Premanand Ji Maharaj's life was his journey to [[Vrindavan]]. An unknown saint once invited him to witness the Sri Chaitanya Leela and Raasleela stage in [[Vrindavan]] at night. Initially, he declined the invitation as he did not recognize the saint. However, after persistent insistence from the saint, Premanand Ji Maharaj agreed and attended the event. He became deeply engrossed in the spiritual atmosphere.<ref name=":1" />

A month later, when the event concluded, he felt a strong desire to witness the [[Raslila|Raasleela]] again. He sought out the same saint who had initially invited him. Expressing his willingness to serve, Premanand Ji Maharaj asked to be taken to [[Vrindavan]] to witness the [[Raslila|Raasleela]] regularly. The saint advised him to come to Vrindavan, where he could witness the [[Raslila|Raasleela]] daily. Inspired by these words, Maharaj Ji embarked on his journey to Vrindavan, where he sought the divine presence of [[Radha|Radharani]] and [[Krishna|Shri Krishna]] and began his path to spiritual attainment.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumari |first=Pallavi |title=वृंदावन वाले महाराज प्रेमानंद जी को कितना जानते हैं आप, 13 की उम्र में छोड़ा घर, बने संन्यासी, जानिए यात्रा |url=https://hindi.oneindia.com/news/india/who-is-premanand-govind-sharan-ji-maharaj-his-biography-how-he-reached-vrindavan-life-story-in-hindi-782899.htmldavan-life-story-in-hindi-782899.html |access-date=10 September 2023 |website=Oneindia}}</ref>

For the 2014–15 season, after cancelling ''[[Piers Morgan Tonight]]'' (which, itself, replaced the long-running ''[[Larry King Live]]''), CNN experimented with running factual and reality-style programming during the 9:00 p.m. ET hour, such as [[John Walsh (television host)|John Walsh]]'s ''[[The Hunt with John Walsh|The Hunt]]'', ''[[This Is Life with Lisa Ling]]'', and [[Mike Rowe]]'s ''[[Somebody's Gotta Do It]]''. Then-president [[Jeff Zucker]] explained that this new lineup was intended to shift CNN away from a reliance on [[pundit]]-oriented programs, and attract younger demographics to the network.

[[File:CNN Election Express.jpg|thumb|right|The CNN Election Express bus, used for broadcasts]]
CNN's political coverage in HD was first given mobility by the introduction of the CNN Election Express bus in October 2007. The Election Express vehicle, capable of five simultaneous HD feeds, was used for the channel's CNN-YouTube presidential debates and for presidential candidate interviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/17920|title=CNN Rolls Out Election Express|publisher=Tvtechnology.com|access-date=October 12, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111125163505/http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/17920|archive-date=November 25, 2011}}</ref>

In December 2008, CNN introduced a comprehensive redesign of its on-air appearance, which replaced an existing style that had been used since 2004. On-air graphics took a rounded, flat look in a predominantly black, white, and red color scheme, and the introduction of a new box next to the CNN logo for displaying show logos and segment-specific graphics, rather than as a large banner above the lower-third. The redesign also replaced the scrolling ticker with a static "flipper", which could either display a feed of news headlines (both manually inserted and taken from the [[RSS]] feeds of CNN.com), or "topical" details related to a story.<ref name=CNNnewlook>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/160701-CNN_Gets_New_Graphic_Look.php|title=CNN Gets New Graphic Look|magazine=Broadcasting & Cable|last=Dickson|first=Glen|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206234223/http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/160701-CNN_Gets_New_Graphic_Look.php|archive-date=February 6, 2009|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="tvn-2011look">{{cite web|title=CNN Debuts New Graphics Package|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-debuts-new-graphics-package_b47645|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140713161604/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-debuts-new-graphics-package_b47645|archive-date=July 13, 2014|website=TVNewser|access-date=September 3, 2014}}</ref>

CNN's next major redesign was introduced on January 10, 2011, replacing the dark, flat appearance of the 2008 look with a glossier, blue and white color scheme, and moving the secondary logo box to the opposite end of the screen. Additionally, the network began to solely produce its programming in the [[16:9]] aspect ratio, with standard definition feeds using a [[letterboxing (filming)|letterboxed]] version of the HD feed.<ref name="tvn-2011look"/> On February 18, 2013, the "flipper" was dropped and reverted to a scrolling ticker; originally displayed as a blue background with white text, the ticker was reconfigured a day later with blue text on a white background to match the look of the 'flipper'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/so-long-flipper-the-ticker-returns-to-cnn_b167507|title=The Ticker Returns to CNN|last=Airens|first=Chris|work=TVNewser|access-date=February 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130221024656/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/so-long-flipper-the-ticker-returns-to-cnn_b167507|archive-date=February 21, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On August 11, 2014, CNN introduced a new graphics package, dropping the glossy appearance for a flat, rectangular scheme incorporating red, white, and black colors, and the [[Gotham (typeface)|Gotham]] typeface. The ticker now alternates between general headlines and financial news from [[CNN Business]], and the secondary logo box was replaced with a smaller box below the CNN bug, which displays either the title, [[hashtag]], or [[Twitter]] handle for the show being aired or its anchor.<ref name="tvn-2014graphics">{{cite web|title=CNN Updates Graphics Package|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-updates-graphics-package_b235005|website=TVNewser|access-date=September 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140815050801/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-updates-graphics-package_b235005|archive-date=August 15, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In April 2016, CNN began to introduce a new corporate typeface, known as "CNN Sans", across all of its platforms.

On June 1, 2023, CNN refreshed its graphics to mark the 43rd anniversary of its launch.
