Sanskrit Original
Narnārāyaṇānand Swāmī e Narnārāyaṇ chhe, teṇe traṇ varas sudhī ḍoshiyunī sabhāmā Burānpurmā vātu kariyu. Tenī Mahārāje Narnārāyaṇ kahīne pūjā karī ne tenā dīkarā Yogānand Swāmī ne Lṛuṣhṇānand Swāmī; māṭe gṛuhasthāshrammā rahe to chhokarā paṇ thāy. E to moṭā moṭā paṇ sau sansārmā rahīne āvyā chhe.
Narnarayanand Swami is Narnarayan. He discoursed to women in Burānpur for three years. Maharaj called him Narnarayan and performed his puja. His sons are Yoganand Swami and Krushnanand Swami. So, if one was a gruhasth (prior to becoming a sadhu), he may have had children. Even the great came here (i.e., renounced and became sadhus) after they married.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. The message here is the same as in Swamini Vat 1/113. One who follows the path of gruhashtāshram may have children. However, they can still attain an elevated state. Swami gives the example of Narnarayanand Swami who had children prior to becoming a sadhu.
