Ketch,
Of course that's what I was trying to say. Cruise on over to SRF Walrus and check out the debate on this topic to understand the copied post that someone posted here in it's context.
Lobo is someone I know very well and who is very close to me so I'm in complete agreement with him when it comes to whether Kriyananda is now a certified, danda-carrying swami. My vote is that he left the order rather publicly in the 80's and hasn't been re-initiated by a swami so he's not a swami.
My last comment was meant to say that I feel it rather sad that Kriyananda has to go to these embarrassing lengths in order to fufill what must be some inner need for respect and admiration. He's an old man, in the end-stages of his life on earth and he's at the very least earned the right to his beliefs, however much they seem odd to me.
