Story

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine lies a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean, on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades, California. It was founded and dedicated by Paramahansa Yogananda, on August 20, 1950 and is owned by the Self-Realization Fellowship. The 10acre site has lush gardens, a large, natural spring-fed lake which is framed by natural hillsides, and is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including swans, ducks, koi, turtles, and lotus flowers. The entire property is a natural amphitheater. Many thousands of visitors come each year to enjoy the scenic beauty and serenity of this spiritual sanctuary.OverviewThe visitor center provides information about Lake Shrine and are there to answer any questions. There are waterfalls, fountains, flower beds, statues, white swans across the lake, lacy fern grottos, lily ponds, and an old Dutch windmill which is used as a chapel. To the left of the entrance is a small Court of Religions, honoring five principal religions of the world, that displays the symbols of these religions: a cross for Christianity, a Star of David for Judaism, a Wheel of Law for Buddhism, a crescent moon and star for Islam, and the Om symbol for Hinduism. Yogananda believed in an underlying harmony of all faiths that unites us all. Along with a few statues of Krishna and other Hindu deities, there is also a life-size statue of Jesus Christ, above the waterfall, as well as Francis of Assisi and the Madonna and Child.

Enchanting... visually stunning... spiritually nurturing... a miracle that a place like this can exist in L.A., or any city. Imbued with the love of a Great Soul... so peaceful... a memory will stay in your heart. A true glimpse of Heaven on Earth.

Enjoyed visiting, walking around the lake and the museum. Some areas for meditation were a little noisy with traffic on the roads but otherwise nice place to visit on the weekend.

Great place to step back and realize how good life is.... let the good flow and the bad go. Spiritually calm.
