Join us for this auspicious occasion: a blessed celebration; an entire night dedicated to Shiva in the inspiring Temple of Light! Throughout this beautifully inspiring night we will tune into the awesome presence of Shiva, calling Him into our consciousness to help us to let go, transform ourselves and be purified in body, mind and spirit.
From 26/02/2025 To 27/02/2025
Paramhansa Yogananda’s Mahasamadhi, or conscious exit from the body, was on 7 March, 1952. This anniversary is an important moment for all of his devotees; together, we will celebrate the life and the mission of the Master and ask him to guide us ever more surely toward the inner light, as he himself merged consciously with the Divine Light on the occasion of his Mahasamadhi.
From 07/03/2025 To 07/03/2025
Join us for a special celebration of the Mahasamadhi of Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramhansa Yogananda's Guru, with a devotional ceremony in the Temple of Light.
