All this curiosity about India is satisfied by the Vedantic Swamis, who have gathered bands of devoted disciples in different towns. There are flourishing Vedanta centres at Boston, New York, Washington, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The society at San Francisco is worthy of special notice, as it possesses a temple of its own, “the only Hindu temple in the Western world,” as the managers take care, to declare in their leaflets. The success of this society is due to the energy and character of Swami Trigunatita and Swami Prakashananda, both of whom are men of genuine spirituality and enthusiasm. The temple is a beautiful – structure, built in Hindu style, which made me homesick and thought that this was the only Hindu temple that I should be able to see from this time forward.
