We want to share with you a brief status update about the reopening plans for our beloved SRF Lake Shrine, which has been closed to the public following the wildfire that affected so many in Pacific Palisades earlier this year.
Many of you have been keeping the SRF Lake Shrine in your thoughts and prayers, and we thank you for your understanding, patience, and support as we navigate the many complex remediation steps for reopening.
Much work remains to be done before we can safely welcome visitors back to this sacred pilgrimage site. While we are not yet ready to share reopening dates, we wanted to let you know that we are making steady progress behind the scenes, and we look forward to sharing details of our reopening plans with you in the next few weeks.
Please stay tuned for another update soon. Once again, we are grateful for your good wishes, prayers, and support as we work diligently to reopen our beloved SRF Lake Shrine grounds to visitors.

Jai Guriji,
Thank you for the kind update, my family can’t wait to begin our weekly services and meditations at the magnificent Lake Shrine we have enjoyed and donated to help build with others so many years ago - God and Guru blessed it and all of us as the flames licked and danced around its perimeter, what a miracle to watch and pray as it was sparred unlike so many homes around it!
