Temple News
Our New Temple Has A Name!
Mother Center has announced the name of our new Temple in Walnut Creek:
Bay Area Temple of Self-Realization Fellowship.
Brother Chidananda expressed the need for the name to be inclusive for members through-out the Bay Area and the location to be identifiable by those living elsewhere.
This marks another step forward in our eventual move to our long-awaited and long-sought-for permanent home.
Currently the Lutherans are busy clearing the accumulations of 50 years of worshiping and care-taking the beautiful property. We wish them well as they move forward.
