I don't think I've ever seen either of them on film, and now both together. I couldn't say if Yogananda was genuine or not but has been a great inspiration to me whatever the reality behind it, which I am still finding out.
This is a rare moment - the film was taken by Paramahansa Yogananda's secretary, Richard Wright, during their visit to Indian saints in 1936. And more, the man in suit standing to the right of Yoganandaji is Paul Brunton - author of "A search in secret India", wherein he describes his experience of samadhi in the presence of Raman Maharshi!
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Ok, so, put a Southern Baptist, a Pentacostal, a Calvinist and 'LoveJoyPeaceComfort' in a room and see what happens. You're not the only 'Christian' who can quote scripture, the only 'Christian' who believes most steadfastly in the inviolability and inerrancy of her position.

Ramana Maharshi was genuine, Yogananda was not.

Have you read any counter-apologetics or polemics? Probably not. Sounds like you've got a bad case of 'itching ears.'
