Flash,
If you look back to my first reply in this thread you will see that I had reminded everyone not to make allegations without evidence precisely because I was worried that there would be allegations made against Hariharananda. However, everyone has posted in a responsible manner. The post which Almir made was very restrained, and he provides the sources of his evidence. You are entitled to disagree if you wish.

You are the one who came here making claims on behalf of Hariharananda. You claim that many people including doctors have seen him in the pulseless-breathless state. Good, this is very good evidence if it is true. So who are these doctors who have seen him in this state ? You are the one who is making claims not supported by any evidence.

"Can you prove to me Yoganandaji is realized? "
No Flash, I can't. But I think I could prove to the satisfaction of any reasonable person that Yogananda was a direct disciple of Sri Yukteswar. For example there are witnesses, photographs and letters between them, and letters from Sri Yukteswar to disciples of Yogananda. Where are these documents in the case of Hariharananda ?

"This give me the right to speculate Yogananda is a fake Yogue? "
Yes Flash, it does give you that right. In fact, in my opinion it would be very foolish not to entertain these thought when you first come across Yogananda. "Autobiography Of A Yogi" is a remarkable book, but most people reading it for the first time must have some doubts about some of the stories there. Tales of golden palaces being materialised in the Himalayas, and yogi's inhabiting two bodies are way beyond the experience of most people - you would have to be very trusting not to have some doubts.


"if people make allegations against others they should provide evidence to back up those allegations."

Yes Flash. Those are the rules at this board and it applies to allegations against Hariharananda just as much as anyone else. But that does not mean that people cannot question some of the claims being made.
