Spirituality Is Important to Moza

Indian-American Moza is a devotee of the Iskon Temple, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), also known as the Hare Krishna movement. ISKCON belongs to the “Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradāya, a monotheistic tradition within the Vedic or Hindu culture. Philosophically, it is based on the Sanskrit texts Bhagavad-gītā and the Bhagavat Purana, or Srimad Bhagavatam – historical texts of the devotional bhakti yoga tradition, which teaches that the ultimate goal for all living beings is to reawaken their love for God, or Lord Krishna, the ‘all-attractive one.’”
