So, can you now please introduce this great lady who had benefited hundreds, thousands of people last night in her program? […] (Channel 13 News, one of our best channels in town.) OK. (And the director called me back and said, “I’m assigning Elma Barrera to interview the Master.” And I had no idea why until we got there. And apparently, Elma Barrera was familiar with the teachings of Yogananda, and she has been familiar with the teachings of Yogananda for some time...)
