Paramahansa Yogananda’s prime wish/teaching ,
was for true Kriya Yoga devotees support and work
through His only org  Self-Realization Fellowship / Yogoda Sat Sangha (India).

He said,  “To be known by God is everything. Like Buddha who gave up everything,
live only for God, Self-Realization Fellowship, & Guru’s work,
& you will attain everlastingness in Heaven.”
[From a letter to James Lynne in 1935]
Also Read Page 410 Autobiography of a Yogi from SRF Publishers© (orange cover).
Many Kindle 1946 editions are out of date !

Yogananda also wrote to another devotee;” this is not the end of your relationship with
Self-realization Fellowship, but only the beginning…….stay in touch with mother center…..”

Nowhere did He suggest that the devotee would need to seek elsewhere for more lessons and methods,
                                         for other teachers and guides etc. In master’s Lessons Course, writings, and examples we have it all!
Even His personal attention and blessings are always with us – He is a “Living Guru.”
