Hollywood Ashram Seismic Retrofit Project
Throughout a rich and storied history in Self-Realization Fellowship, there have always been monastics living and serving at the Hollywood Temple. They have been carrying on the tradition that Paramahansaji started - helping all those who are drawn here to discover and practice his liberating teachings.
Currently the monks live in an ashram behind the temple. The four-unit building was constructed over 60 years ago and has not aged well. It is now in need of upgrading and life safety repairs.
Please visit: Hollywood Ashram Seismic Retrofit page for detailed information on the project and how you can contribute financially.
