Yogananda's US organization went through a schism sometime in the 50's or 60's, resulting in bad blood and the founding of a competing group. I've forgotten most of what I knew about this, but I _think_ these two web sites represent the two competing groups:
http://www.yogananda-srf.orghttp://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/A subtle clue to the division is given by the fact that Crystal Clarity is hawking the 1'st edition of Yogananda's autobio (which I presume is out of copyright), while the SRF is selling a later edition (under copyright).
=========================================================
Many decades ago, Yogananda struck me as perhaps one of the very few authenticate "holy men" of the modern era.
Be that as it may, His Holiness couldn't create a fracture-proof organization, illustrating the fundamental problem with organized religion/spirituality.
