VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

"I do not know Kriyananda personally, but he does not make an 'evil' impression at all. He started his own organization, and power corrupts. Few in his position and with his charismatic temperament would be able to withstand the temptations he may have succumbed to."

I agree with this in as far as it goes. Probably all of us here have made serious mistakes that we regret. Perhaps in Walter's position we would have behaved the same way. However, most of us are well aware that we are not suited to be the spiritual guides of others. Walters on the other hand is presenting himself as something he is not.

If someone presents themselves as a "Swami" and a spiritual guide for their followers then we are entitled to expect a much higher standard of behaviour from them than we would from an ordinary seeker.
