Yogananda's 5 Posthumous Works
According to those in the know, Yogananda left 5 finished works before he died for SRF to publish:

1- The Rubayat of Omar Khayyam
2- The Bhagavad Gita
3- The Second Coming of Christ
4- Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
5- The Book of Revelation

SRF just had to edit them and publish them. It seems incredible to me that it took them over 40 years to edit and publish the first and second, and it's taken over 50 years to get the third one out. According to the die-hard devotees, this is because "SRF and the Matas, in their infinite wisdom, are waiting for the right time to publish them." Some are even linking The Second Coming being published this year to Mel Gibson's movie!

I wonder if we'll ever see the other two in our lifetimes. In my opinion, the Yoga Sutras should have been one of the first to be published.

Re: Yogananda's 5 Posthumous Works
According to Kamala in her book "The Flawless Mirror", he was working on the "Genesis" commentary just before his mahasamadhi. He mentions of it in two letters do her, one dated November 13, 1951, and the other of February 20, 1952 (just a few weeks before his departing):

- "I am working on 'Genesis' and extremely busy. It will be a great relief to complete a few more books and I expect to keep at this while at the desert."

- "I have been so busy writing on 'Genesis' and international mail, I have been overwhelmed."

Kamala also said that a student told her that Master had remarked that he would remain in the world until finishing his books. Then she received a letter from him informing her that he had completed his books.
