The uniqueness of Krishnamurti (K) was his insistence on all who came to him to live his teachings and embody the truth he taught. Many people, having investigated K's teachings for many years, have flooded the official K website (www.kinfonet.org) to express their confusion and consternation concerning the sordid revelations of K's secret and suppressed 30-year long affair with Rosalind, the wife of his secretary Rajagopal , and his encouragement and soliciting of her abortions of their unborn children as the inevitable results of their clandestine trysts. "Lives in the Shadows" by Rosalind and Rajagopal's daughter, Radha Sloss, tells the story from their perspective in quite brutal and exhaustive detail and quotes directly Rosalind, Rajagopal and many contemporaries of K and is available from www.amazon.co.uk. K's official biographer Mary Lutyens' hastily written riposte "Krishnamurti and the Rajagopals" is a badly written travesty of an apologia and simply stakes K's case on the fact that he "never claimed to be celibate" and is available from www. kinfonet.org.

The point is not whether K "claimed to be celibate" but the fact that he never once acknowledged his sexual, emotional and romantic relationship with Rosalind, when the fact was that they lived together as common law man and wife for three decades, aborting their children in order to preserve K's reputation as a man alone, living a truth beyond mere mortal comprehension.

It is also sadly apparent that, in order to preserve his reputation, he caved in when the disclosure documentation released during his litigation with Rajagopal, over the ownership of K's intellectual property and trading companies, threatened to reveal the whole truth about K's affair with Rosalind. Surely a man "living the truth" would have no problem whatsoever with the truth coming out?
