Kali Mandir Laguna Beach

This is primarily a Kali Temple but you can also find Hanuman and Shiva and few other idols. There were also Vivekananda, Ram Krishna Paramhans, and Sarada Devi pictures for the devotees.nnThe temple is a house tucked away in the Laguna Hills. The house is gorgeous. Hardwood floors, ample light, and very clean. They do Kali puja in the morning hours and an Aarti in the evening hours. The puja and Aarti are done in bengali decorum.nnWe saw 2 pujaris. One did the Aarti while another played the dhak and while a volunteer played the gong. The handful of worshipers were invited to sing and pray along. Hearing the sound of a real dhol lifts the spirits when even in the Durga Pujas, the dhol is only a recording.nnI can see parking getting tight during busy times; but when we came, parking was no problem. I loved the temple and will try to come often.

it is a genuine holy entity that is dedicated to the supreme godess as established by Ramakrishna PramahamsanI feel extremely fortunate that such a holy place is in the North American continent...

Beautiful place, very peaceful, divine and best for meditating, praying and comes under category of beautiful hindu temples

Jai Ma, Sri Ma!nWhat a beautiful little temple.nOne of the Brahmanas even recognized me as Shiva sadhu and gave me Maha prashadam, all blessings to the devotees of Sri Kali Ma.nnOh Kali Ma! You have so many worthy sons on this Earth, yet I am worthless.nBut it is not right for you to abandon me, for a bad son may some time be born in this world but a bad mother.... there is never.nAum Sri Guru Adi Sankaracharya aki Jai!nAum Shiva Shiva

It is a fine place for praying and meditation. We feel happy to participate in prayer & arathito KaliMatha.
