Success stories (the American Horatio Alger story is well known in the USA) or ‘rags to riches’ sagas are popular, largely because people think they can be rich and famous, win the lottery, succeed at gambling, and so on. But Srila Prabhupada’s story is a unique one. He DID make it from ‘rags to riches,’ but what’s different is that anyone, by his or her sincerity, can participate in the freedom and greatness Srila Prabhupada had. Anyone can become a pure devotee of the Lord by sincerely associating with Srila Prabhupada through his teachings, his movement and his devotees.
