Srila Prabhupada and his family members
Bhavananda : At one point Prabhupada's wife and daughter were having a lot of difficulty. They were living in her father's house on Mahatma Gandhi Road, and there were some fratricidal wars. The family was dividing the house in half right through the bathroom. It was crazy, and his wife and daughter were frightened.
Prabhupada's son, Vrindavan Chandra, told Prabhupada what was going on, and Prabhupada called Tamal and me in and asked us to go to Calcutta to speak to his wife and his daughter and to invite them to live peacefully in Mayapur.
We asked, "Prabhupada, you're an internationally famous person. Won't people criticize you if, as a sannyasi, your wife and daughter are living in the same place you live?" Prabhupada said, "That does not matter. An emergency transcends everything. It transcends all these sannyas things. And this is an emergency."
