A beautiful, meditative place.
Nancy and I went for a stroll around the Lake Shrine today. You can’t just stop by like before, you have to make a reservation. They release reservations for the next week on Saturday morning and by Saturday night all the next weekend slots are gone. But we’re retired, so the middle of the day in the middle of the week can work just fine.
The Self-Realization Center
This gorgeous place is in Malibu, also know as the Lake Shrine Temple.
Dedicated in 1950, Undreamed-of Possibilities is the title of the Center’s online introduction to the Self-Realization Fellowship and the teachings of Parmahansa Yogananda.
I don’t have a story yet! I have to read up, get the brochures next time, figure out what to say… so for now all we’ve got here pictures from a couple of recent visits.
1) it’s completely free to wander around here, even parking is free.
2) you can easily make it around the lake in less than an hour if you’d like a nice break from the day (assuming you are already near the beach).
3) the religious part seems very non-intuitive, to me anyway!
…and big as your face begonias. Brigitte and Sharon and I really enjoyed strolling around the lake and admiring the gorgeous gardens.
