| | Ananda Answers - Kriyananda answers: Who has made changes to Yogananda's teachings? |
 | | To me, two factors are decisive here: first, that Yogananda himself spelled his title without the a; and second, that the people of India dont pronounce that middle a. Westerners, finding themselves saddled with so many as, generally linger on that middle one, thus: Paramaahansa, as if gathering strength for the final assault. |
 | | SRF, however, after accepting scholarly advice on how the title Paramhansa should be written, developedunconsciously to itselfa tendency to question the accuracy of Yoganandas knowledge of Sanskrit, and thereby opened itself to other scholarly quibbles. |
 | | Yogananda himself, however, received initiation from his guru, complete with blessing, as often as his master gave it. |
