Volume VI, No. 1 Donald Castellano-hoyt

This Volume VI, No 1 November 1933 issue is offered in the hope that many people will enjoy once again the insight provided in the essays contained herein. There are not enough extant issues available to me to make one entire 12 issue volume (as I did with Volume V). It is presented under the SRF, Inc. assumption in their lawsuit that these articles are governed by the 1909 US Copyright Law provisions. Regarding copyright issues, two different Federal appeals courts (with three judge panels) ruled that Self-Realization Fellowship's copyright control of Yogananda's magazines came under the provisions of the 1909 US Copyright Act. The first ruling was 1995 (https: //openjurist.org/206/f3d/1322/self-realization-v-ananda) and the second was 2000 (https: //openjurist.org/206/f3d/1322/self-realization-v-ananda). Both SRF, Inc. and the defendant Ananda Church of Self-Realization argued their cases on the common agreement that all Yogananda's works were subject to the 1909 US Copyright Law. In 2002 the jury upheld the Federal Judges' previous decisions, only acknowledging that SRF, Inc. had copyright control and ownership over the series of 9 magazine articles in which Yogananda's commentaries on scriptures were serially published. This new view of old issues consists of non-OCRd images of previous endeavors by Swami Yogananda. This Volume VI No. 1 issue is of the November 1933 publication. If you have suggestions or recommendations, please feel free to contact me at dchoyt@glimpses.us Recently a sincere lady devotee of Yogananda urged me not to change Yogananda's words. When she gave me an example of what she meant, I was able to send her a copy of the original document which showed that the offending word is part of the original and not a result of textual change by me. Folk, I do not change Yogananda's words -- never have -- never will! "I ain't nobody's guru," and I have no interest in teaching or guiding others. Nonetheless should you too believe that I have erred, please be as kind as this lady devotee and give me a chance to compare documents.
