Vedanta Society of Southern California offers meditation, Sanskrit classes, and temple visits in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

The Vedanta Society of Southern California invites you to experience a spiritual home in the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles. Located at 1946 Vedanta Pl, the Hollywood Temple is a historic sanctuary established with roots tracing back to Swami Vivikenanda's visit to South Pasadena in the late 1890s. The property serves as a comprehensive center for spiritual life, housing a temple, monastery, convent, bookshop, and library. While the entire campus is a place of quiet reflection where visitors are asked to tread lightly, the temple itself is open to the public. You may begin your journey by trying "chanting for beginners" on Saturdays, or deepen your understanding of yoga and philosophy by attending Sunday Sanskrit classes. The society provides a full schedule of these and other activities available on their website, offering a welcoming environment for those seeking to learn what words in yoga class truly mean and to engage in morning meditation through the evening.
