Premanand Maharaj does not need any identity. He guides people through his sermons. His thoughts influence people a lot. Premanand Maharaj’s videos keep going viral on social media every day in which he listens to the problems of many people and gives solutions to their questions. In such a situation, he gave the solution to a common problem, the answer to which probably crores of people keep searching. This question is how to stop dirty thoughts from coming in the mind? According to Pujya Shri Premanand Ji Maharaj, it is natural for wrong thoughts to come in the mind, because it is the nature of the mind. But there is a need to take some measures to stop them and not get affected by them. Let us know what Premanand Maharaj says.

Adopt ‘witness attitude’

Premanand Ji Maharaj says that just as you see unknown people while walking on the road and do not get into conflict with them, similarly observe the thoughts coming to your mind. He says that having wrong thoughts is not a sin, acting according to those thoughts or being immersed in them is the problem. In such a situation, when a bad thought comes, instead of paying attention to it, see it as a “passing cloud”.

power of chanting name

The most surefire weapon to stop wrong thoughts is ‘Naam Japa’. When the mind is empty, it becomes the home of dirty thoughts. If the name of Radha-Radha or the name of your beloved continues to be on your tongue, then wrong thoughts will not have any space to enter. Keep chanting the name while working or moving around.

Abandonment of bad company and refuge in satsang

Premanmand Ji Maharaj repeatedly emphasizes that whatever we see and hear comes back as thoughts. If you see obscene or negative things, the mind cannot remain calm. Avoid such things. Listen to the thoughts of saints for at least 15-30 minutes every day. This purifies the intellect and awakens the conscience to cut off wrong thoughts.

dietary purification

According to Premanand Maharaj, tamasic food (meat, alcohol, excessive spicy) creates lust and anger in the mind. Consuming satvik food makes the mind calm and pure.

prayer to god

When the thoughts become too strong and you cannot stop them, cry out to God and pray. “O Lord, I am yours, these vices are troubling me, please protect me.” Maharaj ji says that there is great power in surrender. When you accept defeat and cry out to God, He takes over your intelligence.
