As you may have read on the SRF blog post with regular updates concerning Paramahansa Yogananda’s beloved SRF Lake Shrine (located in Pacific Palisades, California, where the first of the major fires broke out this week), we are heartened to report that all of the legacy structures at this sacred pilgrimage site are intact and safe.
Of course, we are very much aware that the wildfires are not yet contained. We are deeply thankful for what we were able to discover about the situation at the Lake Shrine currently, yet we know that ongoing prayers are needed, including for all who may be in harm’s way.
