Yogaville is an ashram outside of Buckingham, Virginia. It contains an ashram founded by the late guru Satchidananda in 1986. The ashram continues Swami Satchidananda's Integral Yoga Institute.
A prominent feature of the ashram is the LOTUS (Light Of Truth Universal Shrine) temple, which is shaped like a giant pink lotus flower and includes information and displays about many of the world's major religions, as well as all those religions not yet revealed to humanity. The world religions represented in the shrine are African religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native American religions, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and "faiths unknown to man"[1]. By displaying a shrine to each of these religions, the temple shows that while "truth is one, paths are many."
