Group Homes

The educational arm of Lomaland was the Raja Yoga Academy, established in 1901. "Raja Yoga" meant divine union, and the educational goals of the school involved not only intellectual formation but also moral and spiritual development. The Raja Yoga Academy was a boarding school; students lived together in group homes that were know as "Lotus Houses."

This view of the Lotus houses looks south from the Academy Building. Only one of these homes remains on the PLNU campus today; the square-shaped Group Home #9 is visible in the distance at the middle of this image. It currently stands behind Cabrillo Hall at the Dupont Street entrance to campus.
