Not exactly. In academic world Blavatsky is regarded as a proven 
fraud. Even if we dismiss Hodgeson's and Soloviev's accusations, 
there is acute critic from the orientalists' side.

Before their contacts with Blavatsky both Besant and Leadbeater were 
respected people of good reputation.
Leadbeater was a clergyman which had no reclamations as such and 
Besant was agnostic philosopher active in the social field.
After their close association with Blavatsky they became immoral and 
frauds.
Wasn't it she who made in them so significant a change?
They claimed themselves pupils of Blavatsky, and in this respect they 
could be regarded as such.
