Swami Vivekananda

The first Hindu temple in the Western World was dedicated at San Francisco on 7 January 1906 

Trigunatita planned the temple himself, combining ideas from a Hindu Temple, a Christian church, a Moslem mosque, and an American residence. Regarding the future of the temple, Trigunatita said, “I shall not live to enjoy; others will come later who will enjoy”; and, referring to his own participation, he boldly "It has been announced:" Trust me, if there is less selfishness in building this temple, it will fall, but if it is the master's work then it will stand. "This" amazing that the terrible earthquake and fire of 1906, which destroyed much of San Francisco, did no damage to the temple.
