I have that book and really liked it. Thanks for the recommendation on the film.
I knew an artist who belonged to the Self-Realization Fellowship. He had some old audio tapes from the fifties or sixties, of Yogananda speaking to an audience. I borrowed and listened to them. Yogananda was such a loving person—you could hear it in his voice.
I also visited the Self-Realization fellowship in California some years ago, I think in Carlsbad. It was a beautiful place with gorgeous grounds of flowers and paths. A great place to feel peaceful and meditative.
For those that don't know. one very interesting thing about Yogananda was that when he died (or rather, translated), his dead body never showed any signs of decomposition. This was unheard of (still is, as far as I know). He had apparently so purified himself and body that the physical vehicle did not exhibit any signs of normal decay before he was buried (or cremated—not sure).
