Gauranga Prabhu speaking on the "When Good Fortune arises" at Prerna Youth Festival.
Prerana and Chetana are festivals of chanting, dancing and feasting, through the medium of which the original, blissful, Vedic culture of India is introduced to the youth. ‘Prerana’ is a Festival for teenage boys and ‘Chetana’ a Festival for teenage girls. They focus on the contemporary social issues/problems bothering the youth and inspire the younger generation of India to accept a God centered life and make their lives more regulated, purposeful and joyful.
These festivals attract thousands of youngsters from all over Mumbai. These programs begin with a devotional chant followed by a drama. Then a talk on some socially or ethically relevant topic is held. After the question answer session, an intense kirtan inspires the young to shed off their inhibitions and experience spiritual ecstasy. This singing and dancing session contains a wonderful mix of traditional musical instruments like mrdangas and cymbals, blended with modern electronic synthesizers, guitars and Zambay.
The book, "When Good Fortune Arises, consists of the Life and Teachings of Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Maharaja". Over five years in the making this book contains many little known stories about Gour Govinda Swami, including his association with Srila Prabhupada. "When Good Fortune Arises" has a foreword by HH Radhanath Swami and includes dozens of interviews with various senior devotees, sannyasis, friends, followers and disciples of Gour Govinda Maharaja. The book has two sections, the first is the biography and the second is an exhaustive compilation of his teachings, divided into different categories for easy reference.
Here are some reviews of the book:
"When 'Good Fortune Arises' is a priceless gift to the world." -- Radhanath Swami
"I treasure every word of When Good Fortune Arises, about the life and teachings of Sripad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja, for they bring us close to Srila Prabhupada. Maharaja's sweet dealings and encouraging instructions attract us to guru, Gaura, and Govinda (Gopal), and his sharp words pierce our hearts and cut the material attachments and misconceptions that keep us away from them. I am eternally indebted to Sripad Gour Govinda Swami for his perfect example and instructions." -- Giriraj Swami
"We have to add Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami to that list of great liberated souls who have come to bless and grace this world." -- Mahanidhi Swami
"'When Good Fortune Arises' is the perfect title for a book which not only chronicles the life and teachings of Gour Govinda Maharaja, but also includes captivating memories of those whose lives were impacted by thier s with him." -- Niranjana Swami
