Korindo (Raëlian temple)

Korindo is the first[1] temple constructed by the Raëlians. It is dedicated to the Elohim, and meditation.[2]

Korindo is a Japanese word, that means "light coming from the sky".[3] It is the first recognised Raëlian temple for about 1500 active members and promoters of this UFO religion, mentors, and over 50,000 followers of Raëlism[4] from about 84 countries,[5] and is situated at a village near Narita in Japan.[6] In Asia, Japan dominates in proportion of the people, who have faith in Raëlism, as compared to other Asian nations.[7] It is believed by the Raëlians that life on Earth was created by the extraterrestrial scientists from space, in their own image and resemblance.[8][9][10][11] Moreover, Raëlians further claims that it was a Sunday, when Adam and Eve were brought into being by the Elohim.[12]

Inauguration

The temple was inaugurated on October 7, 2010 in the memory of the 35th anniversary of the second meeting of Rael with the Elohim.[13] Raël also claims to have visited the Elohim's planet at that time.[14] Many Raëlians, and over 100 mentors attended the inauguration of the Korindo, which coincided with a two day seminar for the Raëlians.[15]
