Premanand Maharaj Ashram Address in Vrindavan: Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj
By Gurudutt, Experience My India·6 November 2026
Quick Answer
Quick Enquiry
Premanand Maharaj Ji is one of the most loved sants of Vrindavan today and so many of our guests ask to visit his ashram, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj in Raman Reti. Two honest things to know before you go. First, the schedule genuinely changes, Maharaj Ji’s health and routine mean the satsang, the Vaani Path and the pre-dawn Padyatra are often modified or paused, so check the official Bhajan Marg website for that day before you set out, do not rely on an old video. Second and I say this plainly: everything at the ashram is free, no one there charges for darshan, tokens, VIP entry or rooms, so if anyone asks you for money in the ashram’s name, it is a scam. Go with devotion, go early, register the day before for the morning sessions and keep it simple. Radhe Radhe. See our Mathura Vrindavan tour Packages or message WhatsApp +91 7302265809.
The exact address and area
The ashram of Pujya Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Maharaj is named Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj and it is located in the Raman Reti area of Vrindavan, one of the town’s well-known devotional neighbourhoods on the parikrama side.
The complete address is: Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Varaha Ghat, Sri Premanand Road, Raman Reti, Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh 281121. So the ashram sits on Sri Premanand Road, near Varaha Ghat, within the Raman Reti locality and the postal code for this part of Vrindavan is 281121. Raman Reti is in the southern part of Vrindavan, the area associated with the sands where Krishna and Balarama played and it is the same broad area as the ISKCON temple and the Bhaktivedanta Hospital, which makes it fairly easy to orient yourself once you are nearby. If you are typing the destination into a map or giving it to a driver, “Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Raman Reti” or simply “Premanand Maharaj Ashram, Raman Reti” will get you to the right part of Vrindavan; the final approach is on foot or by e-rickshaw, as explained below.
Landmarks: how to place it
The clearest way to find the ashram is by its landmarks, because Vrindavan’s lanes can be confusing and a landmark is easier to give a driver than a street name. The key landmarks are:
On the Parikrama Marg. The ashram is situated on the Parikrama Marg, the pilgrim circumambulation route around Vrindavan, so if you are walking the parikrama you will pass this stretch.
Directly opposite the Bhaktivedanta Hospital. This is the single most useful landmark, the ashram is right across from the Bhaktivedanta Hospital, which is a large, well-known building that any local or driver will recognise.
Close to the ISKCON temple road. The famous ISKCON temple of Vrindavan is nearby and the ashram is close to the ISKCON temple road, so you can orient from there too.
Between these three, the Parikrama Marg, the Bhaktivedanta Hospital opposite and the ISKCON temple road nearby, almost anyone in Raman Reti can point you the right way. See our iskcon temple page for that landmark and our vrindavan parikrama route guide for the parikrama the ashram sits on. If in doubt, name the Bhaktivedanta Hospital, it is the most reliable reference point.
Local navigation: the last stretch
One practical point catches many visitors out: the lanes leading directly to the ashram are narrow, so cars cannot easily pass through right up to the gate. This is normal for old Vrindavan, where the inner lanes are built for foot traffic, not vehicles.
So the best approach is to be dropped off nearby and cover the last stretch on foot or to take a local e-rickshaw (the small electric auto-rickshaws that work these lanes). When you take an e-rickshaw or ask directions, ask the driver for “Premanand Maharaj ka Ashram” or “Radha Keli Kunj”, both names are widely known locally and the e-rickshaw drivers of Raman Reti know exactly where it is. If you are coming with elderly family or anyone who finds walking hard, the e-rickshaw right to the nearest point is the kind thing to do. Do not try to force a car down the narrow lanes; park or alight at the wider road and walk or take the e-rickshaw in. Going early, before the lanes are at their busiest, also makes the last stretch much easier.
Darshan, registration and the daily schedule
Entry to the ashram is completely free. However, because of heavy crowd pressure and the limited capacity of the hall, there is a registration system for the main morning sessions and it is important to understand it before you go.
To attend the morning Satsang (around 4:15 AM) or the Vaani Path (around 7:00 AM), you must register your name in person, a day in advance, at the Sant Niwas counter. This in-person, day-before registration (the counter usually opens for it after about 4:30 AM) is how the ashram manages the numbers for the limited hall, so a casual same-morning walk-in may not get you into the hall for these sessions. In short: if the morning Satsang or Vaani Path is your goal, plan to be in Vrindavan the day before, go to the Sant Niwas counter and register your name, then return for the session itself. Treat these timings (Satsang about 4:15 AM, Vaani Path about 7:00 AM, registration after about 4:30 AM the day before) as the general pattern rather than a fixed guarantee, because, as the next section explains, the schedule changes, so confirm the current arrangement on the official Bhajan Marg website before you rely on it.
Schedule changes and checking before you travel
This is the most important practical caution and it is why you should never plan a visit from an old video or a months-old blog. Maharaj Ji’s health condition and daily routines frequently shift and as a result the regular evening sessions and the pre-dawn public Padyatra (the walking journey through Vrindavan on which devotees gather for his darshan), are often modified or paused.
What this means for you is simple: the schedule you may have seen online could be out of date by the time you arrive. Sessions that ran last month may be paused this month and the Padyatra in particular is frequently changed or suspended depending on Maharaj Ji’s health and routine. So the single best thing you can do is check the official Bhajan Marg website for the immediate daily updates before you travel, ideally the day before and again on the morning of your visit. This is the ashram’s own channel for current information and it is far more reliable than social media clips or third-party pages. Going with up-to-date information and with the understanding that a saint’s routine rightly comes before a visitor’s schedule, will save you disappointment and let you plan around whatever is actually happening that day.
Fraud alert: everything is free
This point matters enough to state on its own, because it protects devotees. The ashram administration explicitly warns that it does not charge any money for VIP entries, tokens or rooms. Darshan and the sessions are free and the registration at the Sant Niwas counter is free.
So be cautious of any external person trying to sell tokens, offer paid “VIP” or “quick” entry or collect money in the ashram’s name. These are scammers, not ashram staff and paying them gets you nothing the ashram itself does not give free. If someone approaches you near the ashram, at the parikrama or online, offering guaranteed entry, a special token or a room “in the ashram” for a fee, treat it as a fraud. The genuine path is the free, in-person registration at the Sant Niwas counter and the free darshan itself. When you plan transport, a stay or a guide for your Vrindavan trip, use a proper, independent travel service for those travel arrangements and keep the ashram darshan itself exactly as the ashram intends it: free, direct and simple. This single rule, nobody charges for the ashram, will keep you safe from the most common Vrindavan scam around popular sants.
How to reach Vrindavan and plan the visit
Vrindavan is very well connected and the ashram sits in the Raman Reti area in the south of town. The nearest railhead for the town itself is Mathura Junction, about 12 to 15 km away and many visitors come via Delhi by road on the Yamuna Expressway. For the full picture of getting here, see our how to reach vrindavan guide and for a base near this side of town, our where to stay in vrindavan guide; the cool months are the most comfortable, see best time to visit.
Because the morning sessions need day-before registration, staying in or near Raman Reti the night before makes the early start much easier. A visit to the ashram pairs naturally with the rest of Vrindavan: the famous banke bihari vrindavan temple, the other temples in our places to visit in vrindavan guide and the parikrama the ashram sits on. A ready-made plan makes it easy to fit the ashram’s early schedule around the rest of a Braj trip; see our mathura vrindavan tour plan.
Let a Brajwasi plan your visit
A visit to Premanand Maharaj Ji’s ashram is best done with a little local help for the practical side, the travel, the timing and the early start, while the darshan itself stays free and direct as the ashram intends. As Brajwasis running Experience My India, we can arrange your transport and an e-rickshaw for the narrow Raman Reti lanes, suggest a stay nearby so the pre-dawn registration and Satsang are easy, help you plan around the current Bhajan Marg schedule and pair the ashram visit with Banke Bihari, the parikrama and the other Vrindavan temples over your trip. To be completely clear, in the spirit of the ashram’s own warning: we only ever charge for travel services such as transport, stay and guiding, never for ashram entry, tokens or darshan, which are always free and arranged directly by you at the Sant Niwas counter. A shared Mathura and Vrindavan darshan starts from around 1,499 rupees per person; see our mathura vrindavan tour. Message us on WhatsApp at +91-7302265809 with your plans.
