Day of Service (May 18)
This is a great opportunity to meet fellow devotees, and to serve God and Master. By helping to keep our temple beautiful, you will in turn feel energized and inspired. The opening meditation begins at 10 a.m. A delicious vegetarian lunch will be served at 1:20 p.m.
Introduction to Meditation Class (May 19)
An Introduction to Meditation Class will be offered once a month at the Glendale Temple after the lecture service on the 3rd Sunday of each month. During this class an SRF minister will introduce the basic fundamentals for beginning meditation. He will lead a short, guided meditation to allow practice of these steps. Afterwards, participants will have time to ask questions about meditation and the SRF Lessons. This is a free 30 minute class and we welcome anyone who would like to practice the basics of meditation. The class will be held in the Small Chapel near the East Lobby, on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 12:30 until 1:00 p.m.
Fellowship (May 26)
All are welcome in the Social Hall after the service. You will be delighted by the treats our gourmet chefs surprise us with each month and by fellowship with spiritual friends old and new.

Glendale Temple
Nestled in the sunny hills of Glendale, California, this temple is a branch of Self-Realization Fellowship, the international nonprofit society founded by one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time — Paramahansa Yogananda. Since its inception in 1920,
