Coy Ponds at The Self Realization Fellowship Center in Encinitas California
I took the photo below at the Self Realization Fellowship Center, also known as the Hermitage, during a trip with my wife Hannele two years ago. The Hermitage was established by Yogananda in 1937. He lived at the Hermitage for many years and wrote the spiritual classic, ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ during his time there.
There is a beautiful meditation flower garden on the hillside and along the cliff’s edge overlooking the Pacific Ocean. On the hillside in a shaded region are a beautiful set of coy ponds. The fish are huge and move about so elegantly in the water. It’s truly a magical setting. We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing time just sitting by the ponds and watching the fish for a while. Just being there was like a form of meditation.

Beautiful photo of such a lovely place... I feel calm from seeing it! thanks

Sounds like a great place. Yes the fish are huge! People in our area raise koi and sell them. They sell for quite alot around here.
Just becareful they don't take your nose off when you look in the pool.
John, I've known some people with Koi ponds and all I can say is that's a lot of money spent on a Carp!!
