You always seem to provide the most balansed informed posts on this board,so I'm asking you to provide ssome help.There are a number of posts criticising Yogananda for using the title Paramahansa,mentioning that many members from other Kriya traditions are critical of Yogananda for this.When I met Banamali Lahiri(Great Grandson of Lahiri Baba who lives at 'The house')he was very critical indeed of Yogananda.He tore into The Autobiography as a falsification of Lahiri's life.Banamali was a very sincere practitioner of Kriya Yoga.
Its funny that 'Tester' should mention Ramakrishna, because in my experience,The Ramakrishna Swamis were not generally very impressed with the Autobiography either.
Over the years I ignored their views,including a very influential(in my life) Swami of The Ramakrishna Order
but now I seem to be having doubts.I am asking you because you are a sincere,balanced and informed follower of Yogananda,and would answer my questions without bursting into a tirade of heresy accusations.
Love,Kev.
