but this is not the way of my Guru and thousands of years of spiritual tradition in India.


Actually your Guru (I assume you mean Yogananda) was very clear about this. He stated very clearly that not just anyone could be a Guru, only those duly authorised by a genuine master, or those who had genuinely (not in their imagination) heard the command of God should be considered as being able to act as Guru.

As for your supposed intuition, it appears that you are saying that you are the arbiter who decides whether or not someone is duly authorised to teach.

Shivanath posed a genuine question and you have evaded the issue (again). How are those of us not blessed with your magical and perfect intuition to decide whether or not someone is genuine, and more importantly why should we accept people such as Walters and Davis as being authorised to teach?
