Profound Knowledge Made Someone a Book Distributor
We have a nice farm in southeast Germany called Simhacalam. Lord Nrsimhadeva is the presiding deity. While taking prasada there, I asked a book distributor, Advaita Simha Dasa, how he came to Krsna.
Advaita Simha said, “Gaur Mohan approached me, and I gave a donation for a Science of Self Realization. At first I thought it was a cult, so I just wanted to hear what they have to say. But after reading a few chapters I realized that this is very profound knowledge. A year later I was looking for more books by Srila Prabhupada in a bookstore. I was with a friend in the shopping area, and somehow we got separated. He then called me to ask where I was. I told him the bookstore; I said was looking for another one of those books like the one the monk had given me a year ago, but the store didn't have any.
My friend said, 'Well, if you go outside the bookstore you'll see a monk there. Maybe he has what you're looking for.' I went out, and the same devotee that gave me the Science of Self Realization, Gaur Moha Prabhu, was there. I asked him whether he had more books by Srila Prabhupada.
He had the Bhagavad-gita, so I gave a donation for that. He told me that there would be a talk on the Gita that evening and invited me. I went, and it was nice. Eventually I visited the temple and joined ISKCON. Now I'm also a book distributor.” The devotee that gave me the books was Gaur Mohan Prbhu.
