I think J. Donald Walters has shown by his past behavior that he wasn't ready to take the vows of a Swami. I have never met him but obviously he's charismatic. I have been disappointed however by his remarks toward SRF and specifically Sri Daya Mata. He refers to her with kind words in his autobiography but has shown his hatred for her time after time. He seems to be obsessed with his dismissal from SRF from what others who have been closely associated with him have said. He has misrepresented himself as evidenced by the court documents from a few years back. I would be the first one who like to see him publicly apologize and try to stop the attacks on SRF(of course Ananda people will say it's the other way around). I wish him well and hope he can find some happiness.
