Updated Page

Added information to make the page well rounded including more independent communities started by disciples of Yogananda. Also, added in more researched information about Yogananda's wishes for the colonies. Took out duplicate information and references. Moved external links in the text to the External Links section.Red Rose 13 (talk) 17:11, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, took a hacksaw to it.

A half hour ago, this was choked with weasel words, irrelevancies, fan perspective POV, brochure-speak, and pie-in-the-sky: we just didn't need multiple sections devoted to wishful thinking by Yogananda that never actually came to anything, and someone fell into the common popular error of thinking the definition of "unique" being "unusual." There's also a lot that needs to be cited, however unsightly the new batch of citation tags is. Ravenswing 00:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
