@mommynanda His family understands. Yogananda was Gandhi's Sat-guru so they accept that his connection with Gandhi was important to Gandhi. He willed that a portion of his ashes be left to Yogananda. The remainder were with his family who have sent them to the Ganges. Don't worry, all is good and all is as Gandhi wanted.
George Harrison's memorial service was held here; he was definitely a devotee, as was Dennis Weaver. SRF is the largest meditation centered spiritual movement in the world. Try reading Autobiography of a Yogi. Jai Guru!
@criptovicto No, he wasn't. He met with Srila Prabhupad, yes, but he has stated himself that it was Yogananda and the teachings of Kriya that touched his life most significantly. He even included the pictures of the SRF gurus on his album cover.
This is a wonderful "open air" temple. Inside are ensconced some of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi whom Yogananda upheld as a model of saintly response to violence. I have attached a video response from the film "Ahimsa--Non-Violence" which discusses the influence of ahimsa on Gandhi's life.
It looks heavenly! I would love to pay a visit! A must for Elvis Presley fans!

Why do they not return Gandhijis ashes to his family as those in India have done?
They are supposed to be immersed in water by Hindu law.
Why were Ganghis ashes stolen by "great ordeal" and then put in this "shrine"?
It is not in according to Hindu law which Gandhiji lived by.
His family has asked ashes to be returned.
Why are they still in California?
