The family of Shubham Dwivedi, who was tragically killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, made an emotional visit to Vrindavan to meet Saint Premanand Maharaj. Shubham’s wife Aishanya, father Sanjay Dwivedi, and mother
were present during the heartfelt meeting.
The family sought blessings from Maharaj and shared their sorrow, reflecting on their loss. Reports indicated that Shubham’s father wondered why the tragedy happened despite his son’s strong faith. Premanand Maharaj offered comforting words, explaining that such events are part of God’s plan.
The meeting lasted about 10 minutes. Sources said that Aishanya, moved by memories of her husband, became emotional. The family reportedly recounted the details of the attack, explaining how terrorists killed Shubham after questioning his religion during their holiday in Pahalgam in April.
Reports suggested that Premanand Maharaj empathised with their sorrow, acknowledging that the separation from a son or loved one is the greatest agony, drawing parallels to King Dasharath’s grief for Lord Rama in the Ramayana.
According to the reports, Maharaj emphasised that Shubham’s death is a significant loss but also part of divine law that must be accepted. He shared that the incident had distressed him for days and, now, recalling the scene brought back the pain. He explained that birth and death are predetermined, and Shubham’s passing was inevitable according to destiny. Accepting this truth, he said, is essential for finding peace.
To provide mental strength, Premanand Maharaj recommended ‘Naam Jap‘, advising the family to remember and meditate on God to alleviate their sorrow. His comforting words reportedly brought tears to their eyes but also instilled a sense of spiritual peace.
According to reports, the visit to Vrindavan was a quest for mental support and spiritual solace for Shubham’s family. The blessings of the saint reportedly offered them some relief, and they returned with renewed hope, determined to live their lives with patience and faith while cherishing Shubham’s memory.
