Rajagopal was the object of lawsuits because of his misappropriation 
of land, money and personal items given to Krishnamurti for his work 
over many years. You can find information about the lawsuits and 
their historical context in Mary Lutyens' "Krishnamurti and the 
Rajagopals" (KFA).

I will treat the above information as a preposterous claim until I 
can see independent corroboration by those who were with Krishnamurti 
in India at that time (January 1986).

Krishnamurti once said: "The gurus destroy the disciples, and the 
disciples destroy the gurus." In the search for Truth, any form of 
dependence is not only a danger, it is also self-defeating. The 
statement by HPB that Theosophists search for Truth "freely and 
fearlessly" is, imo, similar to Krishnamurti's point of view.
