Whispers from Eternity Changes

The 1949 Whispers from Eternity is now online, courtesy of Ananda. It's at:
http://www.whispersfrometernity.org/

To see the changes that were made by SRF- with some specific comparisons between the 1949 edition (edited by Yogananda himself) and later SRF editions (edited by Tara herself), go to:
http://www.yoganandarediscovered.com/jaitruth/PFCwhispers.html

Here is one example from the link above:

**Comparison of Prayer at Dawn**
1949 edition	9th Edition, 1986, SRF

With the opening of the earliest dawn and the lotus-buds,	At dawn and the opening of lotus buds,
my soul softly opens in prayer to receive Thy light.	my soul flower softly unfolds to receive Thy light.
Bathe each petal of my mind with Thy radiant rays!	Each petal is bathed in rays of bliss.
I saturate myself with the perfume of Thy presence, and I wait to waft with the breeze the aroma of Thy message of love to all.	The early breezes waft the perfume of Thy presence.
Bless me, that with the spreading dawn I may spread Thy love everywhere.	Bless me, that with the spreading aurora I spread to all men Thy message of love.
Bless me, that with the awakening dawn I may awaken all souls with my own and bring them to Thee.	With the awakening day may I awaken countless souls with my own and bring them to Thee.

Re: Whispers from Eternity Changes

Thanks for posting the link, it's great to have the earlier Whispers online. Unlike later editions of the AY, in which I can find the original inspiration still present - and this is despite all the effort I've made to track down changes - I don't even read the current edition of Whispers.

It has so little relation to the original, that you would almost have an easier time charting those parts that were not altered. Not only that, but the intro deletions, and the removal of the explanation of "demands" vs. "prayers" are changes that seem to rob the current text of the main thrust of Yogananda's intent.
