Early years
Premanand was born in 1972 in the Akhri village, Sarsaul Block, near Kanpur to Rama Devi and Shambhu Pandey. At the age of 13 he left his ancestral home and took sannyasa.
Spiritual learnings and moved to Vrindavan
After he initiated into celibacy and took on the ascetic vows of Sannyasa, he was given the name Anandswaroop Brahmachari, who thereafter accepted Sannyasa. On accepting the Mahavakya, he was named Swami Anandashram. He lived most of his early life as a spiritual seeker on the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi. While in Vrindavan meditating beneath a peepal tree in Banaras, a saint requested him repeatedly to watch Raas Leela the next day, which Premanand Maharaj accepted reluctantly as god's will. He initiated into the Radhavallabhi Sampradaya by attaining the "Sharanagati Mantra" and met his current Sadgurudev Pujya Shri Hit Gaurangi Sharanji Maharaj or Bade Guruji. Bade Guruji gave him the "Nij Mantra," which is the initiation of "Sahachari Bhava" and "Nitya Vihar Rasa," which let him enter the Rasik Saints.
Guru
A Radhavallabhi Goswami ji initiated Maharaj into the Radhavallabhi sect through the "Sharanagati Mantra." A few days later, at Pujya Shri Goswami Ji's insistence, Maharaj Ji met his current Sadgurudev, Pujya Shri Hit Gaurangi Sharanji Maharaj, also called Bade Guruji, one of the most revered and well known Saints of Sahachari Bhava. Pujya Shri Hit Gaurangi Sharanji Maharaj gave him the "Niz Mantra," which is the initiation of "Sahachari Bhava" and "Nitya Vihar Rasa," i.e. Thus, Pujya Maharaj ji has entered the Rasik Saints.
