The Agasha Temple of Wisdom is an organization that teaches a philosophy of Universal God Consciousness. The organization was founded in 1943 in Los Angeles, California by Richard Zenor.[1] After the publication of James Crenshaw's book Telephone Between Worlds in 1950, in which both Zenor and the temple were prominently featured, the temple became more popular. Upon Zenor's death in 1978, Geary Salvat was chosen to lead the organization. Reverend Geary Salvat died in 2002. The organization is currently active online.
