Construction on the Temple of  Divine Light starts up again, after more than 20 years. Swami Radha said it had to wait until there was harmony in the Ashram. Celebration as the first arch is raised.

The Temple had been such a longtime dream, that when the first walls go up Swami Radha says, "If it's still there tomorrow, then I'll believe it's real."

Baby Krishna is a gift from the Ashram residents. In the early years of the Ashram, Swami Radha had many dreams of him encouraging her to go on.

 

The Temple is finished in 1992. It symbolizes "the Cathedral of Consciousness," finding the highest in ourselves.

Swami Radha saw lights like these in her early visions of the Temple. When the lights are found, she knows the Temple will follow.

It brings Swami Radha joy that she can see the Temple completed in her lifetime.
