Vrindavan (National Times): A growing concern has been raised regarding the misuse and misrepresentation of Pujya Premanand Ji Maharaj’s images, videos, and teachings through artificial intelligence (AI) and social media platforms. Sources associated with Keli Kunj, Vrindavan, have stated that such misleading content is adversely affecting a large number of devotees and followers.
According to officials, certain individuals, driven by financial motives, are unlawfully editing, remixing, and altering Maharaj Ji’s photos and videos. In many cases, fake or modified voices and messages are being added using AI tools. These manipulated clips are then widely circulated on social media, resulting in confusion, misinformation, and the misguidance of the public.
In response, representatives from Keli Kunj, Vrindavan, have issued an official appeal urging people to refrain from creating, sharing, or promoting any unauthorized content related to Pujya Premanand Ji Maharaj. They emphasized that only the photos and videos released directly by Keli Kunj should be considered authentic, and that any AI-generated, dubbed, or remixed material created by private Channel/individuals/social media pages do not represent Maharaj Ji’s teachings. Keli Kunj has also clarified that it will not take responsibility for messages conveyed through such altered media.
In an official statement, Keli Kunj appealed to the public to trust only original content released through its authorized channels, making it clear that any material using altered voices or AI technology does not reflect the words or teachings of Pujya Premanand Ji Maharaj.
The issue has once again drawn attention to the ethical challenges posed by the misuse of AI and social media, particularly when respected spiritual figures are involved. Religious and social leaders have called for greater responsibility, moral restraint, and legal awareness in the use of emerging technologies.
Keli Kunj officials reiterated their request to devotees, content creators, and the wider public to respect the sanctity of Maharaj Ji’s teachings and to avoid exploiting faith for personal or monetary gain. The matter continues to gain attention, with followers urging social media platforms to take stronger action against fake, misleading, and manipulated religious content.
