WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?!
hear what these guys have to say:
Mohini 
The heart symbolises love for coming to the temple and Krishna consciousness. The spider’s web is like when you come you are trapped. I don’t know why I keep coming but some how I’m trapped and can’t not come.
Vikash
> fasting like every 2 weeks
Discipline ... The fasting helps me dicipline myself, mind and body.
Discipline to help me to continue down this path I've chosen.
Too often mishaps and temptations find away to lead you astray.
So by persisting in the fasting, I can dicipline myself to hold onto my
aims.
> chanting on these beads every spare minute of the day...
Persistence ....
* Eventually water will carve a path through a mountain.
* practice makes perfect
* hope .... ( to hear the bhakti in my own voice oneday, then everyday
there after)
> waking up in the early hours of the day just to see the Deity at the
temple...
* insomnia
* serenity ... The only place on this planet were I am peace with who I
am, where the demons are'nt ripping me apart.
* Where beauty is not perverted.
> only eating veggies ..very specific type of veggies...
* dharma/karma
* control, to be able to control my actions to a small degree. By
ensuring that I control what I eat, I hope to be able to contol other
aspects of my existence ( that are within my control )
In short, all the above is to help me become a better person.
Sunaina
The tears are for when you see others suffering you feel there is an answer to there suffering if they could just take it. The sunshine represents happiness, light at the end of the tunnel. Foot steps are the path back to Godhead, bow down to Godhead. And the books represent my desire of always wanting to learn more.Pooja
I like kirtan, especially HH Kadamba Kanana Maharaja’s. I love acting in plays and I am always fascinated by the way Krishna is dressed. The heart represents how Krishna wants us to come back to Him more than we want to go back to Him.
Nanda Kisore das
Out of love for my spiritual master. I like the sound of the spiritual world and I’d like to be there. There is also the element of duty. This is the right thing to do.
Kandarpa
It’s the only thing that seems real. It’s satisfying, relief from material life. It’s calming not like everything else. You know it is for an eternal gain.
Manoj
The only way to surrender is chanting and through Srila Prabhupada’s book. That’s what keeps me doing what I’m doing.
Reena
Eternal happiness – No matter what life throws at you, you are always happy when turned to Krishna consciousness. Devotees – wonderful devotees. Music – kiratna and dancing is pure ecstasy. Love –pure love for Krishna and His devotees. Krishna’s mercy. Service to the Lord. Prasadam. I’m really attracted to Nrsingadev and Lord Jagannatha.
Sitala
There is nothing that makes me truly happy than being in touch somehow with Krishna. Actually it is the only place where I am happy. The”I” represents how through different stages in life I’ve tried to fit in, first as a good student, then as the cool friend, then as the dedicated employee, etc but Srila Prabhupada has told us who we really are: spirit soul, servant of Krishna.
