IMHO, instead of taking anyone's word, I think anyone interested in the
litigation should try see documented facts on the litigation so that they
can get an objective understanding of what went on and get a flavor and
make up their own mind and come to their own conclusion. I am sure no one
need to be afraid of the truth and truth needs no defenders either.

Also while looking at the facts, one should keep in focus that all the
funds and property were donated for the single purpose and single purpose
only - K to travel, lecture and spread his msg whatever it may be. K was
the sole beneficiary of the all the money and property. Also the sad part
was the huge amounts of donated funds wasted on high priced attorneys even
though it was legal legal expenses. (Litigation went on from 1968 till
final settlement was reached in 1986 after K's death and all the trustees
of the old trusts resigned and properties transferred to the Krishnamurti
Foundation of America).
