Krishna Arora is a salesperson in the Neena Sari Palace in Jackson Heights, Queens. She cleans the store every morning before worshipping at a shrine in a mannequin-filled storage room.

"God knows everything, so we don't have to ask Him for something. We can't offer anything to Him, because He is giving to us. Even if we are offering flowers, this is nothing, we are doing nothing to Him, He is doing everything to us. We are thankful to him that He is giving so much to us. I don't want anything from God. He knows my needs. He is with me everywhere."
