A personal reflection from Yogendra Dasa on regaining the enthusiasm to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books after experiencing doubt and isolation.
Regaining the Spiritual Spark
Having left the association of fellow monks, I came to Toronto and lost my priority and enthusiasm for book distribution. That was until I went out on sankirtana with a dedicated distributor, Tirtha-Pavana. He listened to my doubts, healed my spiritual scars, and challenged me to approach just five people every day.
An Inspiring Encounter
I took a moment to approach people at Dundas Square. Out of five people, I met Colin. I presented him with The Nectar of Instruction and the first canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam. He expressed gratitude that we were helping create positive change in society, and promised to spend the night focusing on the verses. Sankirtana offers access to a truly invigorating spiritual charge.
