Visitor to New Vrindaban’s Palace of Gold takes inspiration.
Have you read the Science of Self Realization?
By Krishna Bhava dasi
Sometimes with his mother and sometimes with his son, Herbie has been visiting NV for a decade, “Under the radar” as he likes to say. Originally from Kent, Ohio, he moved to West Alexander, WV.
Ten summers ago he decided to take a camping vacation near the Palace of Gold. One day while driving to his campsite, he discovered the Palace. He had always been interested in different religions and was very attracted.
He went into the Palace gift shop, Krpamaya das shared with Him some passages from the Bhagavad Gita and he bought a Science of Self Realization. After reading the Science of Self Realization he became inspired. He works for a large corporation and teaches customer relations to thousands of people. While teaching them customer relations he now tries to incorporate principles from Srila Prabhupada’s Science of Self Realization. In his work place he has inspired over 40 workers to download the Science of Self Realization and they have discussions on it.
Last summer I was very enlivened when he shared his story with me and the last thing he said to me was “Have you read the Science of Self Realization?”
