This healthy situation was in 1960 and you had displayed photo of 
Krishnamurti. That proves that Krishnamurti's leaving did not cause 
trouble after in the long run.
You said in study material TSA uses principles and terminology of AB 
and CWL. Apparently they don't use name of AB and CWL. I searched TSA 
site, there is hardly and reference of AB and CWL. Management should 
know that most of the philosophy which TS has is given by AB and CWL. 
Other writers took those principles and wrote books. 
TSA should know that spiritual organization lives because of life 
flowing into it from Masters and their advanced disciples. Disciples 
and Master are one to considerable extent. Anything you do to a 
disciple is indirectly doing to the Master himself. So when section 
is ungrateful to AB and CWL it does not receive life from Hierarchy. 
That is why TSA is in such miserable condition.

My Theosophical work goes on in many countries. I inspire, guide 
members and active workers in many countries. So it is always 
interesting and useful to me to know how better things can be done in 
other countries including America.
