Welcome to our 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.
We warmly invite you to attend our program of inspirational lecture services, meditations, and other activities, and learn more about India’s age-old philosophy of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation, presented in the soul-illumining teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.

“Self-realization is the knowing — in body, mind, and soul — that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it comes to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.” ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
