Terms & Conditions

Terms of use for premanandjimaharaj.org

Using this site means accepting what follows. It is short because the site is simple: we publish information about Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj, we sell nothing, and we speak for nobody but ourselves.

Last updated 31 August 2026

What this site is, and what it is not

The most important term on this page is the first one. Please read it before anything else.

This is a fan website, not the official one

premanandjimaharaj.org is a fan website run by devotees. It is not the official website of Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, it is not operated by the ashram office, it is not endorsed by anyone connected with Maharaj Ji, and it does not speak on his behalf or on behalf of anyone around him.

We claim no association of any kind. No page here is an official announcement, no statement here should be attributed to Maharaj Ji or the ashram as their own words, and nothing here creates any relationship between you and them. For anything official, go to the ashram itself.

How this site is paid for, and what is never for sale

Two separate things, and the difference matters. This site carries advertising and affiliate links, and it earns from both. What it does not sell, and never will, is anything to do with Maharaj Ji himself: there is no fee to read a page, no subscription, no membership and no paid access of any kind. Donations given on the donate page are for the upkeep of this website alone and reach neither him nor the ashram. We cannot arrange darshan, ekantik vartalap or a meeting, and we will never ask you for a payment in his name.

Darshan at Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj is free and has always been free. Anyone charging for it, for a meeting, for a mantra or for a place in the queue is running a scam, whatever they claim. If any page, message or person does that while using our name, it is fraudulent. Please report it through the contact form.

Donations, refunds and cancellations

Donations made on the donate page are voluntary contributions towards running and maintaining this website. They buy nothing, they carry no membership or access of any kind, and they are not payment for any goods or services.

Donations are not refundable and cannot be cancelled once made. Please check the amount before confirming it. The only exception is a payment taken in error, such as the same amount charged twice by mistake: write to us within seven days with the payment id and we will return it.

We are not a registered trust. No 80G certificate, tax receipt or exemption of any kind is issued for a donation, and nothing given here may be claimed as a charitable donation. Payments are processed by Razorpay; card, UPI and bank details are entered on their systems and are never seen or stored by us.

No money given on this site reaches Premanand Ji Maharaj or Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, and no donation here is made to them or on their behalf.

Where this content comes from

Everything here is compiled from material that is already public: satsang recordings published on open platforms, encyclopaedia entries, news reports and other websites covering Maharaj Ji. We hold no private source, no interview and no access to the ashram. The pages are written and organised with the help of AI tools working from that public material.

This is stated plainly so you know what you are reading. It is a devotee's compilation of what is already available online, not a primary record and not an authorised biography. Where a fact is uncertain we mark it uncertain rather than presenting a guess as settled.

Advertising and affiliate links

Advertising on this site is served by Google AdSense. We do not choose the individual adverts, we are not connected with the businesses in them, and an advert appearing here is not a recommendation from us. If an advert makes a claim about Maharaj Ji, the ashram or paid darshan, it is not ours and it is not true; please report it and we will block that advertiser.

Some pages, including the shop, carry affiliate links to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. If you buy through one of those links the price you pay is unchanged and Amazon pays us a small commission. Nothing is marked up and nothing is added to your bill.

Products you buy through our links

Any purchase you make happens on Amazon's own site, under Amazon's terms, with Amazon's payment system, delivery, returns and warranty. We are not the seller, we hold no stock, we handle no payment and we cannot alter, cancel or refund an order.

Prices, availability and descriptions on any linked page change without notice and are Amazon's, not ours. For anything that goes wrong with an order, the party to contact is Amazon or the seller, not this site. Listing a product is not a claim that it is authorised by, connected with or endorsed by Maharaj Ji or the ashram.

Accuracy of information

We check what we publish against the best sources available and mark uncertain facts as uncertain rather than guessing. Even so, details change, particularly darshan and satsang timings, which vary with Maharaj Ji's health.

Always confirm timings at the ashram before travelling. Do not treat any page here as a schedule you can plan a journey around.

Spiritual content is not advice

Descriptions of the teachings are our summary of publicly available satsangs, offered for study. They are not medical advice, psychological treatment, legal advice or financial advice, and they are not a substitute for any of those.

If you are unwell or in crisis, please speak to a qualified professional. Maharaj Ji himself sends people to doctors.

Using our content

You may read, print and share pages from this site freely, and quote passages for personal, educational or devotional purposes with a link back to the page you took them from.

You may not copy pages wholesale onto another website, republish the content as your own, or use it to build a paid service.

Images and third party rights

Photographs are used under public domain dedications, open licences, or with permission. Where a licence requires attribution, the attribution appears with the image.

If you hold rights in any image or text here and want it credited differently or removed, write to us. We act on those requests quickly and without argument, normally the same day, and we do not ask you to prove ownership first or negotiate about it. No claim of ownership is made over anything that is not ours, and nothing here is published to compete with, replace or profit from anyone else's work.

Links to other sites

We link to outside sources such as encyclopaedias and video platforms so you can check things for yourself. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their policies or their advertising.

Your messages to us

When you use the contact form you agree that what you send is your own, is not unlawful, and does not contain another person's private information. We may act on a correction you send without publishing your name.

We do not publish reader messages, and we do not add senders to any mailing list.

Availability

We try to keep the site up and fast but make no promise that it will always be available or error free. Pages may be edited, moved or withdrawn at any time as facts change.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as is, free, by devotees, with no commercial purpose of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on information here, including travel undertaken on the basis of a timing that turned out to have changed.

If you believe something here is wrong, misattributed, or infringes your rights, the remedy we offer is immediate: write to us and it is corrected or removed. We would rather fix it than defend it, and no request of that kind has ever been refused.

This does not limit any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Respect for the subject

This site exists out of regard for Maharaj Ji and the tradition he belongs to. We ask readers to write to us in the same spirit, and we will answer in it.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

If the terms change, the date at the top of this page changes with them. Continuing to use the site after that means accepting the revised version.

Terms questions

What people ask about using this site

The questions these terms get asked most, answered in a line or two each.

Is this the official website of Premanand Ji Maharaj?

No. premanandjimaharaj.org is an independent site run by devotees. It is not operated by Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, not endorsed by the ashram, and it does not speak for Maharaj Ji. Nothing here is an official announcement.

Do you charge for anything at all?

There is no fee, subscription, booking or paid service anywhere on this site, and there never will be. The one place money changes hands is the donate page, which is voluntary, gives you nothing in return and pays only to run this website. Nothing here can buy access to Maharaj Ji, and any page using our name to sell that is fraudulent.

Can I copy content from this site?

You may read, print and share pages freely, and quote passages for personal, educational or devotional use with a link back to the page. You may not republish pages wholesale on another site, present the writing as your own, or use it to build a paid service.

Can I translate a page into Hindi or another language?

Yes, for non-commercial use, provided you credit premanandjimaharaj.org and link to the original page. Tell us if you do, and we may link to your translation from here.

Are the teachings on this site spiritual advice I can act on?

They are our summary of publicly available satsangs, offered for study. They are not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice and are no substitute for any of those. If you are unwell or in crisis, see a qualified professional. Maharaj Ji himself sends people to doctors.

Can I rely on the darshan timings published here?

Treat them as indicative only. Timings vary with Maharaj Ji's health and have varied more since late 2025. Always confirm at the ashram before travelling, and never plan an overnight journey around an hour you read online.

Who owns the photographs on this site?

Their photographers. Images are used under public domain dedications, open licences or with permission, and where a licence requires attribution the credit appears with the image.

How do I report a copyright problem?

Write through the contact form choosing the copyright option, and tell us which image or passage and what you want done. We act on those requests quickly rather than arguing about them.

Can I link to this site from mine?

Yes, no permission needed, as long as your page does not imply we endorse it or that you are connected to the ashram.

Which law applies if there is a dispute?

These terms are governed by the laws of India and the courts of India have jurisdiction. In practice almost everything people write to us about is settled by fixing the page.

Questions about these terms?

Write to us. Corrections, copyright queries and scam reports all reach the same inbox and all get read.
