Personally, I of course found Yogananda credible, even though I realized, by cross references, that he tends to depict facts in a glamorous way in his Autobiography. A tad too glamorous, but there he has the specific purpose to attract the right people people.
Likewise, Sri Yukteswar is totally credible, even though some of his  scientific explanations appear simplified or oversimplified by the present development of science.
These prophets have mantained a reputation of credibility in their lives. Even though there have been people who tried to slander them heavily.

Un-likewise, Kryiananda has turned out to be a self-conscious, self-aggrandizing, materially-inclined, very poor excuse of a guru.

Osho has turned out to be even worse than Kryiananda, although the latter would have liked to possess the material riches and the favour of as many female disciples as OSHO enjoyed.

Whatever these false prophets have told, I regard everything as a manifestation of Satan, half truth, half lies. Best to disregard them totally.

@ Steve: the astrological book by Kryiananda has most probably been written copying the material of other authors and possibly it has been written by some female disciples of him (female whom he probably slept with while letting himself called a 'monk').
