Paramahansa Yogananda established the Self Realization Fellowship Ashram Center in Encinitas in 1937. For many years, he lived at the Hermitage where he wrote his Autobiography of a Yogi, regarded as a modern spiritual classic.
The Self-Realization Fellowship Ashram Center includes the Temple, a Hermitage and Meditation Gardens, and a Books & Gifts Store. The center sits on a bluff with a beautiful ocean view. The beach below, Swamis, a popular spot for local surfers, got its nickname from the Ashram Center.
The Hermitage is generally open on Sundays, 2-5 p.m., except in inclement weather. The meditation gardens, which include a small waterfall and koi pond, are open to the public 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Lectures, classes, and services are held through the week. Check the schedule for times. |
