Amid the ongoing discussion surrounding spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj and his association with prominent personalities, astrologer and spiritual speaker Shivashree Ritu Singh, popularly known as Astrologer Ritu Singh, has shared her perspective on the matter. Defending the Vrindavan-based spiritual figure, Ritu questioned the narrative that his popularity is primarily connected to celebrity associations and said that his following, in her view, is rooted in spirituality, simplicity and faith.

Speaking about the wider discussion, Ritu said that Hinduism and religious gurus have, according to her, faced increasing criticism and what she described as propaganda,and political attacks in recent years. She said that attempts to raise allegations against Premanand Maharaj should not be seen only as criticism of an individual, adding that she believes such developments can also affect perceptions of the broader Sanatan tradition. Pichhle kuch saalon se lagataar Hindu dharm aur dharm gurus ko lekar ek tarah ka propaganda aur political attacks dekhne ko mil rahe hain. Isi kadi mein Premanand Maharaj Ji par bhi kuch aise allegations lagane ki koshish ki ja rahi hai, jisse unki image ko nuksaan pahunchaya ja sake,she said.

Ritu also addressed the discussion surrounding Virat Kohli and other well-known personalities visiting or being associated with Premanand Maharaj. Highlighting her connection with Vrindavan, she said that, in her view, the spiritual leader does not need to depend on celebrities or influencers to attract people. Mein Vrindavan se bahut zyada judi hui hoon aur jaanti hoon ki Premanand Maharaj Ji personally kabhi kisi ko paise dekar nahi bulate. Unhe Virat Kohli ya kisi aur influencer ki zarurat nahi hai,she said. Ritu added that she believes his popularity comes from his simplicity, spiritual teachings and the affection of devotees, saying, Unhe famous Radha Rani ne kiya hai.

The astrologer further questioned whether people choose a spiritual path simply because a celebrity has followed it. Referring to Virat Kohli, she asked whether people would visit Premanand Maharaj only after seeing the cricketer associated with him, or whether their own understanding and spiritual inclination also play a role. Main aap sabhi se kehna chahti hoon ki kya aap Virat Kohli ko dekhkar hi Premanand Maharaj ke paas jaana pasand karengeYa aapki swayam ki buddhi bhi aapko ek saatvik marg par le jaane ke liye aakarshit karti hai,she said. Her remarks come amid continuing public conversations around celebrity influence, spirituality and the growing visibility of religious figures.
