As far as I can remember, I had questions that my parents couldn't answer. One of the main ones was, why do you have to die, and what's life for if you have to die anyway? And when I got into my teens and into high school, I had a sense of existential angst. I really wanted to know more, so I started studying literatures that seemed to me to be spiritual, anything I could find from the library, from bookstores, from wherever. And I was eclectic at that point because I didn't have a clear direction. Then one day, a friend of mine from high school; I was in junior high school at the time—my friend Richie Corsa, had been walking on the street in Berkeley, California, near the UC Berkeley campus, and a devotee had sold him a magazine called Back to Godhead. And Richie wasn't interested in it, but he knew I would be, because anything spiritual, that was for me. So he brought it over to my house and gave me the magazine. When I read that, it clarified everything. It brought together everything I was reading that had some contradiction. It seemed to me there were lots of contradictions that weren't clear and didn't feel complete, suddenly, as when you hear an orchestra warming up and there's a cacophony of sounds, and then suddenly there's a clear note—it felt like that for me. I realized when I looked at the Back to Godhead magazine, there was a culture, there was an organization, a society, and there were young people like me, and they were happily engaged in service. I just thought, I want to do that. That's what I want to be. So, when I read in that magazine that there were books to be had, I researched it. Actually, my mother did, and she found a bookstore in Berkeley. We lived near Berkeley, called Shambhala Books, so she drove me over there, and I went in and told them I wanted anything by the author A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swāmi. They had the Bhagavad-gītā As It Is. They had Śrī Īśopaniṣad and On the Way to Kṛṣṇa. Paperback Bhagavad-gītā was a big version. It was very large, but it was paperback. Then the Śrī Īśopaniṣad was hardback. And there was another paperback, On the Way to Kṛṣṇa. So I read all those, and that's when I first felt that I met Prabhupāda, because everything he said—I had read the Bhagavad-gītā and was reading it repeatedly—was just the translations. But when I heard his voice through his purports, I was so impressed. I thought, now I'm being guided properly. Many of the verses that I had misinterpreted in my head, I then saw that, oh, there's more to this. I had become a vegetarian on my own when I was younger because I suddenly thought that there was barbarism occurring in my own house. I had protested earlier, but I couldn't quite defeat my mother in argument. But then finally, when I was an adolescent, no más, that's it. And then when Prabhupāda talked about non-violence and how you can't kill animals and also be spiritual, I thought, okay, everything's here.
