Did Yogananda attest to Issa in Tibet? We don't have any reliable info about that. We just don't know. We know for certain that some things attributed to PY were not written by him, but instead by SRF editors. We can't accurately distinguish what Yogananda wrote from "edits."



Publications of P. Yogananda's writings have been overtaken by editors, to serve as intake funnels to aim people toward taking the SRF Lessons. Authorship integrity of the SRF publications is lost. They can't be relied upon in a scholarly way as an archive of the titular author's thoughts. The rapid corruption of Yogananda's writings which has occurred is a great tragedy.



A passage in the Autobiography of A Yogi refers to Issa in Tibet. A footnote refers to Atlantis and Lemuria. We don't have a clue whether Yogananda wrote those things, or many other things, or if perhaps Laurie Pratt or other editors superimposed their ideas into the works after PY left.



So, Vijay, we don't really know what Yogananda said.
