Well like most people ive spent most of my life searching for so called happiness. I thought I could find it by material means whether it be drugs, alcohal, girls or what ever other kind of sense enjoyment I could find. I slowly watched myself sink into a big dark hole. I had finally got to the point where I could not keep making the same choices I had most of my life. I quit my bad habits one by one, and began a new journey. I started to do something I had never done before. I began to read books. Not novels or fiction, but books on metaphysics, Bhuddism, spirituallity. In one years time I had read twenty four books. Although my consciousness seemed to be changing I still felt a sort of empty spot within. I was attending a small group once a week with some friends where we would get together and discuss the negativity of this world we live in. Although there were some great answers on how we could deal with some of the issues at hand, I don't think we ever reached the source of the problem. One evening at the group my friend had invited a Monk from the local Hare Krishna Temple that he had met at college. I remember listening to him speek so calmly and clearly about subjects I had read about but never fully understood. There was a sense of peace about him that I hadn't seen in many people. After a couple of visits to the Sunday Feasts at the Temple I found myself becoming even more interested. One day while I was at work a friend brought me a book that he had recieved from someone at a concert. Turns out it was the Sri Isopanisad. I remember sitting at work on lunch break and pulling out the book. I opened it up to the middle where there was a picture of an older gentleman dressed in saffron robes. He was sitting on a small coushion chanting on some beads. I just remember staring at that picture for quite some time. I began to feel a sense of peace come over myself. This old man was His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I could now understand why the young Monk also felt this great sense of peace. I had to find out more about where this peace was coming from. I went back to the temple and got the book Prabhupada. That book sealed the deal for me. Next I started reading Bhagavad gita ,and soon realized the importance of chanting Gods Holy Names. Since then I have started to feel a satisfaction with my life that I have never expirienced before. If we serve Krishna The Supreme Personality Of Godhead we can find happiness in this life! All Glories to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu!! All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!! Thankyou Giriraj Gopal Dasa!!!
