== 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>
