Bhajan video reunites dad & son

A 30-year-old man who did not know the whereabouts of his seven-year-old son was one day scrolling through a social networking site when he came across a bhajan video, in which the child was a participant.

Only then did he come to know that his estranged wife, who had left home along with their son, had admitted the child to a Shrila Prabhupada Ashram, stating that she voluntarily wished to put him on 'bhakti marg'.

The Bombay High Court recently ordered the ashram to hand over the custody of the child to his father.

Srikant Tambe (name changed), a resident of Mira Road, had married the love of his life, Anjali Mishra (name change) in 2014. Anjali delivered a baby boy in 2016, but soon differences started occurring between the couple.

In 2022, Anjali decided to leave her matrimonial house along with her son and proceeded to her maternal house in Uttar Pradesh. Whenever Tambe asked to speak to his child, he was told that he was unavailable.
