I think yes, masters can be wrong, like when Yogananda took Kryiananda as a disciple. That's my conclusion. Yogananda had his discrimination obfuscated by Satan himself.
There are more examples, like associating with traitors like Dhirananda and Nerode. Notwithstanding Sri Yukteswar's advise.
You are welcome with your opinions mccoy. I am very grateful to Kriyananda for placing a free version of the AOY on the internet and starting the communities the Master said were necessary for the future. My understanding is that he won most of the law suits in the legal battle with SRF.
That is just one example. Yet I see that you see things in total contrast mccoy. I have a different outlook. Not all life is black and white. And I’ve been told by monks at SRF that Judas was also a spiritually high human being who lived with the guilt of being responsible for the death of Jesus for many incarnations, but he was liberated in the last century.
It's nice to have different views otherwise our perception would not be challenged.
Kriyananda did some good things, I myself enjoyed very much my stay in Ananda, Nevada city, Como in Italy, Assisi in Italy. The fact is that the motive of his deeds were driven by Satan. The conclusion is that even the evil plots of Satan can produce something good. Conversely, even the good plots of the higher intelligences may have some negative outcome. This is planet earth. Perfection is impossible. Perfection makes dwelling on planet earth impossible. There are other planets which are just about perfect, like the Hyranialoka in the astral plane.
I also agree to disagree on Judas. He was sure highly evolved, but he had some negative traits which were leveraged by Satan. His role was fundamental in God's plot, but he had to pay karmically for having willingly accepted Satan's influence. A hefty karmic penance, then he was off the karmic hook and back to his previous lofty spiritual state. It sounds just about fair...
