What does Premanand Maharaj Ji say about grief and loss?

Shri Premanand Maharaj Ji speaks about grief with great tenderness. He does not rush to reassure or explain it away. He acknowledges it first: grief is real, and the love behind grief is real. When we lose someone we love, the pain is the measure of that love. He does not ask us to feel less. He asks us to understand something that may help us bear it: nothing we love in this world is truly ours to keep.

He teaches a truth that sounds hard but brings real comfort when it settles: we came into this world empty-handed, and we will leave it the same way. The people and things that feel like ours were always borrowed. God lent them to us for a time, and he has taken them back. This is not cruelty — this is the nature of the world we live in. When we understand this deeply, grief does not disappear, but it stops being confusing. We grieve because we loved. And loving was the right thing to do.

His guidance in grief is to turn toward Radha Rani. He says: in your darkest moments, call her name. You do not need beautiful words or a composed mind. Cry if you must cry. But cry toward God. Let the grief become prayer. He has said many times that Radha Rani draws especially close to those who call her from a broken place. And in that closeness, even if the tears continue, something shifts — a warmth appears in the wound. That warmth is her grace.
