September 13, 2026 Encinitas Temple Announcements
Our Temple Meeting takes place this Tuesday, September 15, from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at the main Temple. The meeting begins with a short inspirational talk followed by a half-hour meditation, Temple updates, and an Autobiography of a Yogi study class given by the minister. This meeting is open to all.
You are welcome to join us for our monthly Day of Service on Saturday, September 19, beginning at 8:30 a.m. with a half-hour meditation led by the minister in the main Temple. We then meet on the Temple patio as we break into cleaning, gardening, and maintenance groups. At 11:40 a.m. we will have another meditation with the minister right before enjoying a delicious vegetarian lunch at noon. We hope you will join us for this joyful time of seva, divine service for our Guru’s work. Please note that families are most welcome to participate, and children will be guided in some fun activities.

There will be games for all ages, entertainment by a jazz trio, and stories about our Guru by one of our ministers. Please pick up a flyer after the service for details and directions to the park.
