The Saint Premanand Maharaj of Vrindavan was put at the centre of controversy and the target of online trolls after he gave a sermon advising both the men and the women to continue upholding good moral character. There was a commotion of social media campaigns against him done by many critics. To this, Bageshwar Dham Peethadhish Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri intervened and copiously refuted the criticism in defence of Maharaj. He said that in India it is now quite impossible to speak the truth.
Pandit Shastri revealed that some of them were already in personal conflict with Saint Premanand because they found him as a trouble maker. But Shastri says that the saint just began to tell his mind out openly. He indicated that though the people are yet preaching timorously, chanting Hindu, Hindu, Maharaj shares his beliefs loudly through the public available open places. Shastri also lamented on the use of the caste based politics by the politicians in the political arena, in opposition to that level of opposition being on casteism and nationalism as portrayed by Premanand Maharaj; which, he claimed, renders some individuals squinted.
Acknowledging more criticism, Shastri said that in case lustful people are in society, then it should be accepted that it would be in followers of all religions and not only one. His reminder was also in favor of Maharaj saying that it is only spiritual devotion and strength together that should be remembered-as in the case of the rosary and the spear: mala with bhala-and not as mingling of Ganga and Jamuni.
Shastri continued by saying that when individuals plot against him occasionally he doubts whether the problem is him or not. However, the events that he observed unfolding against Saint Premanand made him realize that some critics also have their selfish motives. He referred to Maharaj as a preacher, lover of devotional songs, and a fight against such an individual is a behavior of negative aspects. Shastri made a conclusion that not all men or women are bad and so are not all religious people wicked.
