00:00I need to learn Bangla.
00:22We are connected with the Hare Krishna Movement ISKCON.
00:29We get up quite early, like 4.30, 5ish around.
00:35Very normal.
00:36You like cleaning today with us?
00:37I love cleaning.
00:38You love cleaning.
00:39We chant Japa in the morning.
00:47We believe that everything which came in contact with the Lord, like a cloth or a garland,
00:55is charged with spiritual energy.
00:58Bye, sweetie.
01:00Bye.
01:01Have a nice day in school.
01:07It's a very sweet beginning in the morning, so we try to catch this as a family.
01:13Krishna teke.
01:14Krishna teke ashti.
01:15We don't say that.
01:16Eta Krishna teke ashti.
01:17Yes.
01:18I have more friends than I have in Germany, and it's more Krishna conscious here.
01:37In the summertime, we go and spend a lot of time in the water because it's very hot.
02:08Our desire was never to become a YouTuber.
02:19They just opened a temple in Vienna, like a small center.
02:30I started to think about the existence of Krishna when I was 24.
02:35I had no religious background otherwise.
02:42I barely left my own home country at this time.
02:45This completely changed my complete world view and my idea of life and what I actually
02:50want to do.
03:06We wanted to move in a little bigger community.
03:11Searching for such a place, we came across Mayapur, which stole our hearts.
03:36In the summer, we do some catering and some festivals.
03:39We go there and sell some vegetarian Indian food.
03:45The rest of the year, we live here in Mayapur.
03:58We don't want to convert anyone or convince anyone that our life is better than theirs.
04:03I'm not saying you have to believe in God to be a good person, but I strongly believe
04:11it gives you more purpose.
