Family's efforts help save spiritually significant Lake Shrine from California wildfires.

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades, California, survived recent wildfires thanks to fire-resistant construction, maintained grounds, and the efforts of a devoted family. Billy Asad and his children spent three days protecting the site, using the lake's waters to fight off flames. Founded in 1950 by Paramahansa Yogananda, the shrine is a peaceful sanctuary for all faiths.
