“a hermitage by the ocean”
During my earlier years in America I had combed the coast of California in quest of a small site for a seaside ashram; whenever I had found a suitable location, some obstacle had invariably arisen to thwart me. Gazing now over the broad acres of Encinitas, humbly I saw the effortless fulfillment of Sri Yukteswar’s long-ago prophecy: “a hermitage by the ocean.”

May 20, 2006JP. Funny you posted that cuz I just happen to live accross the hill from
‘The Mother center’ of Paramahansa Yogananda’s temples.
I used to go there all the time and just walk around the surroundings.
Check out the crazy history on this one.
it began as a Hotel 4 the stars in hollywood to have a getaway because then there were studios nearby.
Charlie Chaplin etc….
At the top of these mountains, it had a cable car that took you up there cuz there were no roads or homes.
