Service Opportunities

"No task is too difficult or too menial when offered to Thee in loving Service."  -Paramahansa Yogananda

Paramahansaji's teachings combine meditation and right activity.  Performing our activities as an offering to the Divine is a very vital part of the spiritual path.  Serving at an SRF Temple is a blessing because in that sacred environment it is easier for most devotees to feel that the service they are rendering is an offering to God and Guru.   Also, devotees serving at a Temple have the support and fellowship of others striving to live a spiritual life.

Listed below are some of the many areas of service at Hollywood Temple.  If you are interested in joining us please call (323) 661-8006 or email us at hollywoodtemple@yogananda-srf.org.  

If you are an SRF Kriyaban and would like to join Hollywood Temple's Lay Disciple group, the primary service organization at the Temple, please visit our Lay Disciples page for more information.

Saturdays are always busy times around the temple, with devotees serving our temple in many areas, mainly with the meditation garden and in maintaining the place in a tidy and pristine condition. Devotees typically serve between 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., but some would serve in the afternoon, and some during part of the morning and afternoon.  And for those who serve a minimum of 3 hours, a freshly prepared lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. Please feel free to come and contact the Garden Committee Chair as to where you can serve that day. If you are here at 9:00 a.m., you may also check in the kitchen as to whether they need additional help.

For information on the services we offer to those in need in our Temple community, visit our Community Outreach page.
