"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 encounters with him." -- Niranjana Swami
