Nearly 50 years after the death of its leader, Father Yod, the Source Family continues to fascinate seekers.

Today, original pressings of records featuring Father Yod — there were about 20 LPs and 45s released in the 1970s — sell for hundreds of dollars.

Father Yod opened the Source restaurant at 8301 Sunset Blvd. in 1969 to support his growing family of followers, and it became one of the first hotspots in L.A. for organic vegetarian food.

“Especially when they talked about how Father Yod went down his own ego path. That they acknowledged it made me feel like there’s not an absolute revisionist history.”

During Father Yod’s lifetime, wrote Rubin, “The Source story was a local story. Now it’s global.”
