Swami Yoganandajis respect for Holy Mother Because Yogananda was pure like the ever-free Shukadeva, the Master engaged him to do errands for Holy Mother. Jogin and Sharat belong to my inner circle, said Holy Mother. None loved me as did Jogin. If anybody would give him any money, he would save it, saying, Mother will use it for her pilgrimage.... Yogananda was so respectful towards Holy Mother that he would not salute her by touching her feet. When the Mother would leave the place, he would touch that spot with his head. Asked about this strange behaviour, Yogananda replied, What! I dont have the audacity to keep the Mother standing and waiting for me so that I can bow down to her. (From God Lived With Them by Swami Chetanananda)
