Sant Premanand Accident: Sant Premanand Maharaj's padayatra narrowly escaped a major accident in Vrindavan on Wednesday when a heavy iron truss installed for the welcome suddenly lost balance under the pressure of the crowd and started falling. Videos of this incident have gone viral on social media, causing panic among the people.

Trusses and decorations were put up to welcome Saint Premananda

The devotees had made elaborate arrangements for a grand welcome on the route of the padyatra. Colourful welcome gates, flower showers and large iron trusses were installed at many places. One of these iron trusses became the cause of the accident.

The truss lost its balance in the heavy crowd and was about to fall

As soon as Saint Premanand reached that place, the truss lost its balance due to the pressure of the crowd. That iron structure was about to fall right in front of the saint, due to which the situation became extremely critical for a few seconds. There was chaos and the devotees started screaming.

Alert organizers held the truss, a major accident was averted

However, luckily some alert organizers and devotees present there showed promptness and caught the truss before it fell. Due to this promptness and alertness a big accident was averted and all the devotees including Saint Premanand remained completely safe.

There was a stir after the incident, the saint gave assurance

Immediately after the accident, panic spread among the pilgrims, but Saint Premanand Maharaj himself appealed to everyone through the mike to remain calm and maintain restraint. His behavior restored the faith of the devotees and the padyatra was resumed.

Questions raised on administration and organizers

After this incident, devotees have expressed concern about the security arrangements. They said that despite the huge crowd, adequate arrangements were not made. If the iron truss had fallen, hundreds of devotees could have been injured. The local administration has taken cognizance of the matter and has instructed the organizers to make better arrangements in future.

The video went viral, devotees said – the saint was saved by a benefit

The video of the incident is now going viral on social media, in which it can be clearly seen how the iron truss suddenly bends in front of the saint and how people stop him. Many devotees called it a "miracle" and said that the saint's divine energy saved them.
