What is this about changing the spelling of Yogananda's name? Why was that necessary?

Srfwalrus,

The issue of changing Master’s name and some spellings seem almost silly. Why would someone do that?

I’m Dakota, I am the author of yogananda-dif.org I asked the same question sometime ago and this is the answer I came up with.

First one has to have some historical knowledge, which unfortunately is held mostly by SRF, and they have to this date not make a library of all the old material available to the public. But fortunately I do have access to some of that historical knowledge.

What people do not know, is that ALL the books and literatures till the July-August 1958 SRF Magazine had Paramhansa Yogananda on it. It was this issue (July-August 1958) of the SRF Magazine that we first see the change in the spelling. So the question one has to ask oneself is what is happening at SRF that this time to make them want to change the name.
What I found in the history from the old magazine is covered in the following discussion on my web page.

You may not agree with my conclusion, but you will find the facts interesting.
Just so you know, I offer anyone $100.00 reward if you can help me find any facts, (not opinions) on my web site that are incorrect, or any quote or fact that I have misrepresented. My web sit is not about rumors, but about the truth of the situation.
Truth is, so if truth shows up with a label of criticism, so be it. Who cares, it is truth and is welcomed.

“There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless but because they know their own faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and they are ever ready to correct themselves.” Gandhi

Sorry if the comment sounded like criticism. I don't understand the name change. But even still, SRF has once again clouded the issue with their reaction to people talking about it.

Thanks for your posting. Your Gandhi comment is right on.

Hope to hear more from you.....
