In his teachings Paramhansa Yogananda drew to a focus countless rays of truth, expressed diversely through the ages, and showed that they were essentially the same.
Paramhansa Yogananda, Sri Yukteswar's chief disciple, taught that the only way to understand others truly is by holding deep compassion for them in one's heart.
One of the patterns of living that Yogananda came to establish for the new age was the founding of "world-brotherhood colonies," as he called them: communities where people could bring these new, high concepts to a focus on a practical level, and, subsequently, offer them to mankind as workable, not as merely theoretical, models.

Quite apart from the fact that Yogananda died in 1952, and therefore was not available to sign his name after that, clearly the seventh "a" has been inserted into Yogananda's original signature.
An Indian pundit advised them that "Paramhansa" actually has a different meaning from "Paramahansa." The change was made, SRF says, in order to insure that Yogananda retains the respect and regard he so richly deserves.
During Swami Yogananda's visit to India in 1936, after fifteen years' spiritual work in America at the command of his great master, Swami Sri Yukteswarji of Puri, the latter honored him with the title of Paramhansa.

 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 don’t pronounce that middle “a.” Westerners, finding themselves saddled with so many “a”s, 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, developed—unconsciously to itself—a tendency to question the accuracy of Yogananda’s 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.
