This center was founded in 1937 [my birth year] by Paramahansa Yogananda. He brought India's ancient science of meditation to the west in 1920. The Golden Lotus Temple was located here from 1938 to 1942 when it started to slip from its foundation. The temple does not exist here now but a new temple was built nearby and is in use today. The Meditation Gardens, however, do exist and are very beautiful, well kept by the city and visited by thousands of people. On the beautiful sunny day that we were here in what is now called Swami's Park, there were many meditating in the private little garden groves. The view of the ocean from the height of the cliff is astounding.
