Lord Swaminarayan has praised Premanand Swami as an idol of love. He was a born poet, a great songster, as well as a proficient musician. His hymns, songs of Lords glory and the hymns describing Lord’s daily activities are full of deep love. They are so effective and impressive that one who hears inclines to deep love towards Lord. While singing be used to be engrossed deeply and would make the whole atmosphere devout and full of affection towards God Supreme.

Once a music party came from Lucknow and proposed a competition with the Saints of Lord. Lord asked Premanand Swami to begin first. It was evening. Premanand Swami started Bhairav Rag which is sung in the morning only. Hearing it, the musicians of Lucknow laughed at him for his ignorance, saying, "He has no knowledge of what to sing, and when to sing."

Premanand Swami was deeply engrossed in the love towards Lord and the effective wordings of prayer. By its effect, the whole atmosphere was changed into morning. The birds started their morning songs. The eastward sky became red as if it is day-break. The music party of Lucknow forgot the time. They were also engrossed in the song of morning prayer. As soon as Swami stopped his prayer, the atmosphere was changed into its originality.

The musicians of Lucknow were very much impressed, bowed down to Lord and went away. Premanand Swami’s hymns are daily sung by all the devotees as daily routine. His hymns are collected and published as the "Premanand Kavya ". Many of his hymns are relayed on radio also.
