In 1958, he finally renounced worldly life to pursue his spiritual journey, establishing famous ashrams like Kainchi Dham. His son Dharma Narayan Sharma later managed the Vrindavan Ashram administration. https://tamil.asianetnews.com/gallery/india/neem-karoli-baba-family-life-wife-children-and-his-spiritual-journey-gezwemx
