What I appreciate is about this temple is it is a place where people can come together to share their generosity and share faith and hope. You don't have to be religious at all...just a curious mind is all it takes. I went to this temple because the temple generously hosted a mobile consular service during a week when the embassy of my country was in town. I was able to go there, I was able to access the place, get my errands completed and, while there, never felt unwelcome at any moment (given that I wasn't a local there!). Thank you for all you do!

There's something about sharing that space with others that amplifies it's power (for me). I am globally familiar with Parmahansa Yogananda's teachings and resonate with what I know of them. As of the time of this review, the meditation hall is open for structured meditations Friday and Sunday evenings, and Sunday mornings. Website will have details. My first time on the grounds, I stopped by the welcome desk and was greeted by two friendly volunteers that shared information about both the founder and the Sunday morning process in general. They were warm and helpful, and I felt welcomed. There seems to be no distinct age, race, or gender that is predominant, though I have found fewer younger than older attendees. In the hall itself, there are two entrances facing west and one facing east which also serve as exits. I have found no particular designated route in or out. There is praying/singing/chanting at the beginning of the one hour Sunday morning meditation, and at the top of each hour for the extended evening meditations. Total time of silence in the one hour Sunday morning meditation is about 30 minutes. In my handful of visits, I have not felt like an outsider, or as if I was being judged or indoctrinated. I'm grateful to have found a silent safe haven of sorts in the middle of the city.

They gave me a welcome packet that had several free books and a schedule of the events. I enjoyed the meditation and the chanting. It was pretty much what I expected. There were a diverse group of ages and races there. Grounds were very well maintained and it would be nice to just go there to meditate and be outdoors. I would probably go there more often if it was closer to my house.
