On September 5, 1943, Paramahansa Yogananda established an oasis of peace in a tranquil setting surrounded by beautiful trees in the very heart of San Diego. This place is the Self Realization Fellowship San Diego Temple. Walking up to the centre there are thriving cypress trees that were planted by Yoganandaji himself. The famed architect Irving Gill originally designed the building in 1909. Located close to downtown in the Bankers Hill neighbourhood, Balboa Park can be found to the East, and Hillcrest to the North. On the property there is ample parking if needed, and street parking as well.
