This is greatest delusion. Besant and Leadbeater were themselves
occultists who wrote what they saw and experienced. They did not 
derive
their writing from Blavatsky's writing.

But other senior disciples like Subba Rao dumped SD's draft prepared 
by
Blavatsky.

It is not a question of gratefulness or ungratefulness. I am simply
putting facts before you. Facts should not be concealed under the 
cover
of gratefulness.
