A man went to meet Master Rajneesh and said to him "Every night I dream of Krishna, and we dance together, and he looks at me deeply. That surely means I'm a very advanced incarnation. What do you think it means?" Master Rajneesh said "That means you are a closeted homosexual." The man was disgruntled and left. One week later he came back and said "You were right".
One has to look squarely at any spiritual teacher, and form one's own opinion. According to Buddhist teachings, the Buddha emphasized the importance of accepting teachings not blindly, but through careful examination and personal experience, essentially encouraging individuals to "test" the teachings against their own experience to see if they resonate and bring positive change in their lives, rather than simply believing something solely because they heard it.

Rajneesh makes a cameo in one of his jokes. Nice.
You lost me when you contradicted Yogananda.
