Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine, Ashram and meditation garden on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California, US.

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine is a 10-acre garden in a natural amphitheater around Lake Santa Ynez, a 2.5-acre spring-fed lake, the only one in the City of Los Angeles. Brick paths and short stairways lead to hidden alcoves for meditation. A white arch trimmed with blue tile and topped with gold lotus blossoms frames the Gandhi memorial; a Dutch windmill with a dark wooden balcony ring and four lattice blades stands at the water's edge.

The site was part of Bison Ranch, bought by silent-film producer Thomas H. Ince in 1912 and developed as Inceville studio; fires in 1916 and 1922 destroyed its timber buildings. After use as a quarry, Alphonzo Bell Sr. bought it in 1927 and hydraulic grading left a basin that filled from four springs to 20 ft, forming Lake Santa Ynez. H. Everett McElroy bought it in 1940, dredged the lake and built a replica 16th-century Dutch windmill; Paramahansa Yogananda dedicated the Lake Shrine on August 20, 1950.

The Court of Religions displays symbols representing five major faith traditions side by side, inviting visitors to see different spiritual perspectives together. This arrangement creates a space where people of different religions can share in the same grounds.

The grounds are open daily except Mondays; entry is free and donations support upkeep. The lake sits in a natural amphitheater, with brick paths and short stairways branching off the main trail to alcoves for sitting or meditation. The visitor center provides information about the site, and the gift shop and Yogananda museum stand next to each other.

The Gandhi World Peace Memorial holds a portion of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes inside a thousand-year-old Chinese stone sarcophagus tucked away on the grounds. Many visitors pass by without noticing this quiet tribute to the Indian leader.
