One day Yogin-ma brought her aged mother and her daughter to the Master. They were both very happy to hear his inspiring words. Through Yogin-ma’s influence her husband, Ambika Charan, also began trying to change his way of life and to associate with holy people. On 15 November 1882, Balaram brought Ambika Charan to his house to meet Sri Ramakrishna and be blessed by him. But the Master knew how he had ill-treated his wife, and after Ambika Charan had left he said: “He is an unfortunate wretch. A householder has his duties to discharge, his debts to pay: his debt to the gods, his debt to his ancestors, his debt to the rishis, and his debt to his wife and children. If a wife is chaste, then her husband should support her; he should also bring up their children until they are of age.”
Yogin-ma did not give up, however. She persuaded her husband to associate with the Master, so he met Sri Ramakrishna again, this time at Dakshineswar. This meeting seemed to make a deep impression on Ambika Charan. Unfortunately, not long after this he was bitten by a dog and became bedridden with a fever. When Sri Ramakrishna heard about it he told Yogin-ma to take care of him. He said that as a wife she had a duty towards her husband, even if he had been immoral. Accordingly, Yogin-ma brought her husband to her parent’s home during his last days and carefully nursed him until his death. (Source: They Lived with God)
