Anand,

You write:

--------------------------------------------------------------
>From references brought earlier, certain points become clear about how
so called Mahatma Letters came into existence. I am listing them here
so that further analysis will have base of those facts.
According to Blavatsky
1) Most of the letters were not written by Masters' hands.
2) Letters were not dictated verbatim. That means every word of
letters was not chosen by Masters.
3) Letters depended on chela's development and capacity to understand
(Mahatma's thoughts).
--------------------------------------------------------------

Now let us look at what Blavatsky actually wrote and what you even 
say are "those facts":

-----------------------------------------------------------
...it is hardly one out of a hundred "occult" letters that is ever 
written by the hand of the Master, in whose name and on whose behalf 
they are sent, as the Masters have neither need nor leisure to write 
them; and that when a Master says, "I wrote that letter," it means 
only that every word in it was dictated by him and impressed under his
direct supervision. Generally they make their chela, whether near or
far away, write (or precipitate) them, by impressing upon his mind
the ideas they wish expressed, and if necessary aiding him in the
picture-printing process of precipitation. It depends entirely upon
the chela's state of development, how accurately the ideas may be
transmitted and the writing-model imitated.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Now Anand I ask you to focus on what you say Blavatksy wrote.  You 
state:

--------------------------------------------------------------
2) Letters were not dictated verbatim. That means every word of
letters was not chosen by Masters.
---------------------------------------------------------------

But this is the "fact" that Blavatsky actually relates:

------------------------------------------------------------------
...when a Master says, "I wrote that letter," it means only that 
every word in it was dictated by him and impressed under his
direct supervision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Unless I am missing something here, you either do not understand or 
are misrepresenting what Blavatsky wrote in her statement.

To make it even more PLAIN, HPB writes that "EVERY WORD in it was 
dictated by" the Master while you tell us that "EVERY WORD of
letters was NOT chosen by Masters." caps added!!!

If Blavatsky is given us the "facts" as you admit in your statement, 
then you should NOT misrepresent what she has written.
