Hello Hendrik....
Thanks for supplying the two links to this story. The other board that I frequent deleted the first one. I personally would rather look at these issues (no matter how strange they may initially seem) and come to my own conclusions. I noticed that at the end of Swami K's rebuttal there was a link giving some background information on him. Considering some of the allegations that have been brought up against K, Iam not sure that he would be the best character reference for Yogananda at this point. But I guess this was a nice gesture regardless.

I have been reading the responses from different Yogananda devotees on various boards. Personally, I am not at all comfortable with the idea of giving all of my powers of discrimination and reason to a board of directors, no matter how advanced they may be. This is not in accordance to Yoga philosophy as I understand it. I do not blame SRF for some of thier members adopting this approach, this is a choice that each of us makes individually and we are responsible for the outcome.

Frank
