Description

Join Professor Jeffrey Carman for a walking tour of this fascinating location nestled on a hillside in the Cedarpines Park area.   The Mozumdar Temple was once owned by an Indian-born spiritual leader Akhay Kumar Mozumdar. Mozumdar, whose name means “Son of God” was born in 1864 in India. He was once a powerful teacher, lecturer, and writer of the New Thought Movement in the U.S. in the early to mid 1900’s. He began construction of the temple and an adjoining camp, but was not able to complete the temple before he died. After his death the property was sold to the YMCA and then to the Unification church of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The Rim of the World Historical Society is fortunate to arrange a annual tour of the location.

The tour is scheduled for 10:00 am on Saturday, June 4. The walking tour will begin at the Pillars of God and end at the Temple where lunch will be served.  Some of the walk is on a incline areas and uneven paths, so please make sure you are prepared for this activity. 

To get there, drive to the end of Mozumdar Road in Cedarpines Park and take the left driveway to Mozumdar, follow signs to the Pillar of God Amphitheater and park there in the dirt lot. Walk up to the amphitheater to begin the tour. Parking is limited so carpool as much as possible. The number of people for this tour is limited to 40. For further information, contact Bill Pumford, (909) 338-3544.
