Sanctuary is a place we can rest, meditate, and rejuvenate the soul. In modern urban cities such as Los Angeles finding such a place can be daunting. The Lake Shrine of the Self-Realization Fellowship is a very peaceful park like area devoted to meditation and peace. A portion of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes are enshrined here in the Gandhi World Peace Memorial, the gateway to this memorial can be seen between the trees across the lake. The Golden Lotus Archway was unveiled at the dedication of the Lake Shrine in August 1950. Atop the archway is a giant golden lotus which in India is a symbol of divine unfoldment - the awakening of the soul to its infinite potential. More formal areas to worship include the Windmill Chapel, which is to the right of the opening frame and the new Temple located on the hill above the Golden Lotus Archway. A walking trail circles the lake and makes for a very peaceful stroll.

This is one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles, once found why would you tell anyone about it?
