KKN Gurugram Desk | In the serene atmosphere of Vrindavan, where saints and seekers regularly gather to reflect on life’s deepest truths, a profound question was recently raised during a spiritual discourse by the revered Premanand Maharaj. A devotee asked, “Why doesn’t God save us from death, even when the situation is unfair or painful?”

This question—simple in form, yet deeply philosophical—led to a moment of silence in the ashram, followed by an enlightening response from Maharaj ji that not only comforted the seeker but also offered a spiritual lens through which to view life, death, and divine will.

The Question That Touched Every Heart

The query was posed by a middle-aged man in the audience during an open satsang held at Premanand Maharaj’s Vrindavan Ashram. His voice trembled slightly, revealing the emotional weight behind the question:

“If God is all-powerful and compassionate, why does He not intervene in painful deaths or tragic accidents? Why does He allow innocent people to die?”

In a world where millions struggle to find meaning behind suffering and premature loss, this question echoed far beyond the walls of the ashram.

Premanand Maharaj’s Response: A Lesson in Divine Perspective

Maharaj ji smiled gently and began his reply with a calm voice, his words echoing through the courtyard:

“We often view death as a punishment, a tragedy, or an unfair event. But from the divine viewpoint, death is neither good nor bad—it is simply a transition.”

He continued, explaining that God does not operate according to human logic or emotion. Instead, divine actions are governed by karma, destiny, and the soul’s eternal journey.

 The Role of Karma and Divine Justice

Premanand Maharaj emphasized that karma (past actions) plays a central role in the circumstances of every birth and death. According to Sanatan Dharma:

• Every soul is on a unique path based on the karmic account it carries from previous lifetimes.

• Even the moment of death is pre-determined by the soul’s karma.

• God does not ‘cause’ or ‘ignore’ death but allows karmic justice to unfold naturally.

“If we expect God to stop death every time, we are essentially asking Him to interfere with the law of karma—something even He does not do, because that would disrupt the balance of creation.”

 God’s Compassion Lies in the Soul’s Journey, Not the Body’s End

Maharaj ji reminded devotees that we are not the body, but eternal souls.

“Death is merely the soul leaving one body to enter another, just like changing clothes.”

He added that while families grieve physical loss, the Atman (soul) continues its journey unhurt, protected, and guided by the divine.

In that sense, God does save us—not from physical death, but from spiritual destruction, by giving us endless chances to evolve, learn, and realize our true nature.

 Why Innocent People Die: A Misunderstood Mystery

When the question of “why good or innocent people die young” was raised, Premanand Maharaj clarified that what we consider ‘good’ or ‘innocent’ is based only on this lifetime’s knowledge.

• The soul may carry past karma that requires early exit.

• Sometimes, a short life might fulfill a very specific spiritual purpose.

• Death could be a form of liberation or a return to the divine.

“Innocence in this life does not mean absence of karmic baggage from past births,” he explained.
“We see only one chapter; God sees the whole book.”

 Faith in Divine Will: The Path to Inner Peace

Maharaj ji concluded by urging seekers to develop unshakable faith in divine wisdom, even when life feels cruel.

“Do not question why God didn’t stop something. Ask instead, what is He trying to teach me through this?”

• Surrender to God’s will is not defeat—it is freedom from mental suffering.

• Acceptance, not resistance, brings spiritual growth.

• Pain, loss, and even death are part of the soul’s refinement.

Teachings That Resonate Beyond the Ashram

The session ended in meditative silence, with many attendees visibly moved. Some had lost loved ones, others were battling personal crises. But Premanand Maharaj’s teachings offered a sense of calm—not by promising immunity from pain, but by revealing its higher spiritual purpose.

Devotees left the satsang with renewed understanding:

• Death is not an end but a passage.

• God’s role is not intervention but elevation.

• The soul is eternal; only bodies perish.
