According to T. Subba Row as reported by C. W. Leadbeater
and apparently also believed by CWL:

----------------------------------------------------
"...the original H. P. Blavatsky?disappeared from earth life some 
twenty years ago, and...a certain Adept...voluntarily took possession 
of her body, or was placed there? [and] when ...he was frequently 
absent from this body.?two Chelas, but little versed in occultism, 
were selected to take the Adept's place when necessary; and as no 
Adept or Chela can enter into a woman's body during times of illness, 
at such times it had to be taken possession of by a terrible ill-
tempered, ignorant old Tibet woman, in place of the Adept or Chelas.?
the terrible old woman alone has inhabited her almost all the time?
Still the Adept maintains his connection, in the hope, as we think, 
to be able to complete his promulgation of the "secret doctrine" 
through her.

So according to this explanation HPB was merely a "body" or SHELL
used by "a certain Adept" but he was FREQUENTLY ABSENT from this shell
and "two Chelas" BUT LITTLE VERSED IN OCCULTISM took his
place in this shell but of late "a terrible ill-tempered, ignorant 
old Tibet Woman" inhabited and managed the HPB shell!

Notice in the above description no mention or reference WHATSOEVER is 
given of either Master Morya or Master Koot Hoomi or Djual Khool and 
their supervision, direction and collaboration with HPB. 

Yet at the same time TSR and CWL was spreading this "explanation", 
H.P. Blavatsky herself knew what Subba Row was doing.

HPB wrote:

-------------------------------------------------------
Has he [T. Subba Row] not gravely given out to Mr. and
Mrs. C.O. that I was henceforth "a shell deserted and abandoned by
the Masters?"
------------------------------------------------------
quoted from:
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/hpb-aps/bl-42.htm

Three years later, she wrote:

----------------------------------------------------------
...they have pretended that my occult knowledge had faded away during 
my illness; that even Masters have turned away from me to them, & 
that I was now the prey of Elementals & half-fledged chelas!
----------------------------------------------------------

But Mahatma Koot Hoomi in his August 1888 letter to Colonel Olcott, 
the president and co-founder of the TS, said in clear cut language 
the following about HPB:

"...Her fidelity to our work being constant, and her sufferings
having come upon her thro' it, neither I nor either of my Brother
associates will desert or supplant her....

"...this you must tell to all: -- With occult matters she has
everything to do. We have not abandoned her; she is not 'given over
to chelas.' She is our direct agent...."

Notice that KH places in quotation marks the words "given over to 
chelas".

WE WILL NOT DESERT OR SUPPLANT HER

WE HAVE NOT ABANDONED HER [to a terrible ill-tempered, ignorant old 
Tibet woman....]

SHE IS NOT "GIVEN OVER TO CHELAS" [to two Chelas, but little versed 
in occultism...]

SHE IS OUR DIRECT AGENT.

Food for thought!!!
