So many years and now I'm only just beginning to see how the more I bring to the mantra, the better. My fears, my hopes, my love, whatever I can summon up and offer to Krishna, I need to bring and give. During one very stessful period in my preaching efforts I was being regularly threatened by people. I was in fear for my life. Now, if I can recapture the rounds I was chanting during that period, it improves my concentration and sincerity.
