 When Good Fortune Arises
The Life and Teachings of Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja
> “Just as the fortunate bee finds both nectar and shelter in the cooling lotus, the suffering soul finds true relief at the lotus feet of Sri Guru.” – Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja
In The Worship of Sri Guru, Srila Gour Govinda Maharaja compares the plight of lost souls to bumblebees deceived by the thorny ketaki flower—fragrant yet devoid of nectar. Only when the white lotus of good fortune blossoms in the heart does one attain the cooling, nourishing shelter of śrī-guru-caraṇa-padma—the lotus feet of the spiritual master.
When Good Fortune Arises is a heartfelt and inspiring account of the extraordinary journey of Srila Gour Govinda Swami. From a simple village life and a secure teaching career, he gave everything up in a desperate search for his guru—eventually finding shelter at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda. This essential volume explores his life of surrender, deep devotion, and his powerful teachings centered on seeking the shelter of the pure devotee.
