Recently I read somewhere that PY didn't personally write the Praecepta Lessons, and that they were authored by some other yogi who came from India to assist PY.
Does anyone know more about that, or whether it's even true? I don't have the Praecepta Lessons, but did briefly scan through them once maybe 25 years ago a another devotee's home.
Who wrote the Praecepta Lessons? I'd think they must have at the very least been approved by Master, as a vital element of establishing his movement.
Who wrote the SRF Lessons I have, copyright 1956? Are these as severely overedited as Whispers evidently is? What's the relationship betwee the Praecepta Lessons and the 1956 SRF Lessons? Does anybody know?
Comparison of the "current" and "original" Whispers from Eternity convinces me that Master's writings have indeed been twisted through editing. I'm really upset by this whole thing about editing Master's works, and simply can't understand why such corruption has happened so fast.
