The Science of Spirituality International Meditation Center
A Haven of Peace and Tranquility
Architecturally inspired by its spiritual mission, and steeped in spiritual symbolism, the Science of Spirituality International Meditation Center was designed to invoke a sense of calm and peace in the hearts of all who walk through its doors.
The entrance, shaped in a semi-circle, is symbolic of open arms reaching out to embrace the visitor.
The eye-catching golden-colored circular main building is designed in the form of folded hands lifted in gratitude for the many gifts showered upon us.
The serenity of the large lobby invites the visitor to pause and enjoy the present moment.
The quiet majesty of the oval-shaped Main Hall accommodates over 1200 visitors. Its stunning engineering provides unobstructed views of the stage from every seat.
With a capacity of 500, the state-of-the-art dining hall offers an opportunity for people from all walks of life to sit together and share a meal after spiritual gatherings.
Built on a separate foundation from the rest of the building to rule out all external disturbances, the sanctuary is dedicated solely to meditation
