Well, where are these doctors who have studied him in the pulseless-breathless state then? Provide us with some contact details of doctors who are not his followers who have studied him in this state.

In any event what would this prove anyway ? Entering the pulseless state is easy. I can do it, so can you and so can everyone else reading this. All you need is a small round object, a normal drinking cup should do nicely. Place this object under the armpit and press down with your arm. This will cut off the flow of blood to the arm and stop the pulse. With practice you can make it seem as if you can speed up the pulse in one arm and slow it in the other and many other tricks. Doctors are not trained to detect fraud, they are trained to diagnose sick people. In fact there is a whole branch of magic tricks which are called "Swami Gimmicks" by magicians as there are so many fraudsters claiming yogic powers.

The path of Yoga starts with Yama-Niyama and Yama includes satya (truthfullness). If Hariharananda is living a lie, claiming to be direct personal disciple of someone he never actually met, and to have received higher Kriya from someone else he never met, then he has not yet mastered even the first stage of yoga.

But here we want to be fair to everyone, so let me repeat my invitation to Hariharanandas followers to show us some photographic evidence of Hariharananda with either Sri Yukteswar or Paramahansa Yogananda. Such photographs ought to exist. The Paramahansa's time in India in 1935-1936 received much publicity and was well photographed. If none of these photographs show Hariharananda then we are entitled to speculate as to why that might be.
