Compare Emma Coulomb's Testimony about Madame Blavatsky to C.W. 
Leadbeater's Testimony about Madame Blavatsky

I quote BELOW what C.W. Leadbeater tells his readers in his book HOW
THEOSOPHY CAME TO ME:

----------------------------------------------------------
...I could give you many instances in which she [our Founder H.P. 
Blavatsky] was ACCUSED OF DECEPTION [by Patterson, Coulomb, Hodgson 
and others], and  I can tell you exactly what it was that REALLY 
happened, and can assure you that there was NO FRAUD WHATEVER in the 
matter. That much I DO KNOW FOR MYSELF....

...I think it is valuable for you to be able to say that you have 
seen or known of someone who is willing to bear personal testimony 
that there was NO FRAUD about such things....

Notice also what the Master Koot Hoomi wrote in his first letter to 
C.W. Leadbeater.  This was at the very period of time when the Rev. 
George Patterson was publishing to the world all that Emma Coulomb 
had told him of HPB's alleged deceit and deception.

Here is what the Master wrote in his communication to Charles Webster 
Leadbeater:

-------------------------------------------------------
It is undeniable that the [Theosophical] cause you have at heart is 
now suffering owing to the DARK intrigues, the BASE conspiracy of the 
Christian clergy and missionaries [all of this based on Emma 
Coulomb's testimony] against the [Theosophical] Society. They will 
stop before nothing to ruin the reputation of the Founders [Madame 
Blavatsky and Col. Olcott]....Pushed by malevolent hands to the very 
edge of a precipice, the [Theosophical] Society needs every man and 
woman strong in the cause of truth [instead of the falsehoods given 
by Emma Coulomb??]....
---------------------------------------------------------

What is said in this KH letter to Mr. Leadbeater is confirmed even 
more by what the Master had written some months previously to one of 
those Founders, Col. Olcott.

KH warned Olcott:

----------------------------------------------------------------
...You have harboured a TRAITOR and an ENEMY [Emma Coulomb] under 
your roof for years, and the missionary party are more than ready to 
avail of any help she may be induced to give. A regular conspiracy is 
on foot. She is MADDENED by the appearance of Mr Lane Fox and the 
powers you have given to the Board of Control. We have been doing 
some phenomena at Adyar since H.P.B. left India TO PROTECT Upasika 
[HPB] from the CONSPIRATORS.
---------------------------------------------------------------

And to Franz Hartmann, Master Morya also warned:

------------------------------------------------------------------
For some time already the woman [Emma Coulomb] had opened 
communication with the enemies of the Theosophists....She hopes to 
receive by this more than 2000 rupees, if it is successful for her to 
destroy the Society or at least HARM the reputation of the founders 
[Madame Blavatsky]. Therefore her [Emma Coulomb's] hints of deceit, 
trapdoors and conjuring. Which by the way the trapdoors will be 
effected and so will come to light, as soon as it is necessary, for 
they [Alexis and Emma Coulomb] have been working on them for some 
time....Monsieur [Alexis Coulomb] is a skillful carpenter and joiner 
and also understands masonry work....
---------------------------------------------------------------

Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott were in Euruope at this time 
while the Coulombs was busy at "work" at Adyar.

Therefore in light of the above letters from the Masters, I repeat 
again Mr. Leadbeater's testimony in support of Madame Blavatsky and 
against what Emma Coulomb said:

----------------------------------------------------------
...I could give you many instances in which she [H.P. Blavatsky] was
accused of deception [by Patterson, Coulomb, Hodgson and others], and 
I can tell you exactly what it was that REALLY happened, and can 
assure you that there was NO FRAUD WHATEVER in the matter. That much 
I DO KNOW FOR MYSELF....

...I think it is valuable for you to be able to say that you have 
seen or known of someone who is willing to bear personal testimony 
that there was NO FRAUD about such things....

Remember this testimony comes from the man who Anand wants to 
believe is "the greatest occultist-saint of all times".
