 Autobiography of a Yogi by P Yogananda: 1946 First Edition: About This Edition
It was given to Paramahansa Yogananda in 1935 by his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar.
Self-Realization Fellowship, the organization founded by Paramahansa Yogananda to carry on his divine mission and preserve the purity of his teaching … [has made a correction ] … in the spelling of his title, so that there would be no doubt concerning its intended meaning.
Since the Veda-based title was given by Sri Yukteswar to certify his worthy disciple Yogananda as belonging to the highest category of divine realized souls — a Paramahansa — there should be no scope for question because of an incorrect rendering of the Sanskrit.

 Yogananda Rediscovered - Has SRF Lost Its Way?
Paramhansa Yogananda's mission was not only qualitative, to a few disciples.
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.

 Yogananda Signature
Paramhansa Yogananda needs to be represented as he was, not as SRF wants or needs him to be.
These alterations open SRF to the charges that they are misrepresenting the eternal truths Yogananda lived by (the way Yogananda chose to live his life and how he chose to fulfill his mission on earth).
To retain the Paramhansa spelling would be to permit sentiment to rule rather than a true reverence and regard for our Guru and his rightful place among the great ones.

Yogananda's masterly storytelling epitomizes the Indian oral tradition with its wit, charm, and compassionate wisdom.
As the author explains, 'yoga' comes from the root meaning 'union' - and he reveals, ever more deeply, the underlying oneness of Christianity and yoga, of spiritual truth and scientific truth, of the worldly and the spirituality.

 God is for Everyone, Inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda
In Paramhansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi we are told that his guru's guru, Lahiri Mahasaya, would sometimes tell a disciple, "Please expound the holy [scripture] stanzas as the meaning occurs to you.
I alone, therefore, deserve all the credit." The enlightened teacher meanwhile, himself free from all ego-prompted desires, views ingratitude even in its extremest form of treachery as a spiritual disease, which he must eventually cure in his erring disciples.
That tens of thousands in America later attended his lectures, and that many of them became his students, makes it all the more important that the message he expressed in this book be disseminated, now, as widely as possible.
