received the gift of the Encinitas Hermitage from one of his closest disciples, Rajarsi Janakananda... he began plans for the construction of the Golden Lotus Temple.
Which he dedicated on January 2, 1938.
The temple was designed by Paramahansaji himself, with the intention of revealing as much as possible the panorama of nature’s beauty. Magnificent views of sea & sky were afforded by the four-story glass observation tower and immense windows overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which was visible directly behind the low altar.
During the next four years, thousands attended the Thursday and Sunday services conducted by the Guru at this site - in the present-day Meditation Gardens.
