Description
The Vendanta Society of San Francisco has its beginnings with the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair when one of their teachers, or swami as they are called, Vivekanandaji visited San Francisco after the fair. Having enough students from the Bay Area by 1900, by 1904 was able to buy the land to build this, their first temple in the Western World, in San Francisco. With a growing number of members, this second building was added, in 1959.
