Interesting article in the latest issue of "What Is Enlightenment". The article titled "...In Search Of BabaJi" had a sidebar titled, "Did Yoganada and Babaji have a falling out"? In this little jewel we have Marshall Govindan telling the author of the article that Babaji told Yogananda to take off the Swami robes because he was having sex with his female followers. This supposedly happened in 1942. Yogananda it is reported refused, and that cut his link with Babaji then and there.
Govindan reports also that he could not come out with this fact, wasn't at liberty, untill the report in the New Times in LA issued their story of Erskine, which Govindan uses as proof of his statements of Yogananda. No place does it say that the DNA tests of Erskine showed no relationship with Yogananda as his father.
