James Donald Walters was an American Hindu religious leader, yoga guru, meditation teacher, musician, and author. He was a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda and founder of the spiritual movement called 'Ananda'. He wrote numerous songs and dozens of books. According to the LA Times, the main themes of his work were compassion and humility, but he was a controversial figure, having been sued over copyright issues, sexual harassment, and alleged fraud and violations of labor laws.
Walters met Yogananda at age 22 and became his disciple. After Yogananda's death in 1952, he continued serving at the Self-Realization Fellowship ashram. In 1955, Walters took sannyas vows and was ordained a Brother of the SRF Order, along with Sarolananda, Bimalananda, and Bhaktananda, by Daya Mata, then President of SRF, and received the name Kriyananda.
In 1960, after the death of MW Lewis, the SRF Board of Directors elected Kriyananda to the Board of Directors and eventually to the position of vice president. In 1962, the Board voted unanimously for his expulsion from SRF and requested his resignation. Kriyananda founded Ananda, a worldwide movement of religious and communal organizations based on Yogananda's ideal of World Brotherhood Colonies.
