i>I am still waiting for you to provide some examples supporting your earlier claim that "Treasures Against Time" is inconsistent in the spelling of Paramahansa. You cannot do so as it was just something you made up to bolster your argument. The fact that you need to resort to such tactics shows how weak you case is.

p. 164 'Paramhansa'
p. 170 'Paramhansa'
p. 173 'Paramhansa'
p. 172 footnote 'Paramahansa'
p. 176 'Paramhansa'
p. 182 'Paramhansa'
p. 183 footnote 'Paramahansa'
p. 184 'Paramahansa'

Most of the above are from letters written by Paramhansa Yogananda. On only one of them, does Treasures Against Time show the name as 'Paramahansa' at the end of the letter. But bear in mind that this is not a signature- only text.

The only signature in the entire book is on page 192. Surprise- it says 'Paramhansa'.

The only other appearance in the entire book where the name shows up in a form other than the text of the book:
At the end of the book there are 'Photographs from the family album'. One of the photos shows a "Memorial Plaque Commemorating the Lewis Chapel, Borrego, November 1, 1969."

This plaque states that 'Dr. Lewis was a faithful disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda for forty years'. Note the spelling.

Now, if anyone, anywhere, could show us a legitimate, notarized original of a Yogananda signature with the extra 'a', please post the information here.
