The Lake Shrine is only place outside of India where the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi are enshrined. This is quite an honor for both California and the USA. His message of peace is more pressing then ever. To quote Yogananda, the creator of the shrine: "Alone among great leaders, Gandhi has offered a practical nonviolent alternative to armed might. The nonviolent voice of Gandhi appeals to man's highest conscience. Let nations ally themselves no longer with death, but with life; not with destruction, but with construction; not with hate, but with the creative miracles love."
💖 I wish his words were followed.
