Krishnamurti And The Rajagopals by Mary Lutyens --Talks of visit with Pinter

 Notes of this book talk of visit with Pinter 

It was while K was in New York this time, staying with Frederick Pinter, with whom he had stayed before and who also knew Rajagopal well, that he was warned that unless he took some steps he would soon find himself without any say in the affairs of KWINC of whose assets Rajagopal had sole control. Mr Pinter forcefully urged K to look into the matter because the large sums donated to the Trust were for his work and he, Pinter, had heard complaints from donors that their contributions were not being used for that purpose. As soon as K arrived at Ojai he asked Rajagopal to give him information about the affairs of KWINC. When Rajagopal refused, saying that it was none of K’s business, K asked to be put back on the Board. This request was also refused. After thirty-five years of running all K’s financial affairs, Rajagopal saw no reason for this sudden interference. He had a Vice-President and a Board of Trustees but he ruled them autocratically and they never questioned anything he did. Rajagopal’s refusal to reinstate K or give him any information aroused suspicion in K for the first time. Up till then he had trusted Rajagopal implicitly in spite of his meanness and their continual quarrels over small matters. RS does not mention these refusals by Rajagopal, nor that K continued for eight years to try to get back on the Board of KWINC before dissociating himself altogether from Rajagopal.

In The Presence of Krishnamurti The Memoirs of Mary Zimbalist

 

On 21st of April 1971 Krishnaji visted Myra Issue 17 – October 1970 to May 1971  

Introduction 

This issue sees a flurry of attempts to have a resolution of the Rajagopal conflict without it going to court, but they are all futile. This issue also seem to contain, more than most issues so far, Mary’s expressions of wonder and appreciation of Krishnaji’s nature, and her dedication to him and his teachings. 

The next day, ‘While Krishnaji called on Mrs. Pinter, 

I shopped at Bergdorf, and then we walked back to the Ritz Tower. 

Then we walked to see a movie called The Andromeda Strain, science fiction, and Krishnaji found it exciting. Mitchell Booth[8] came in to see us, and said that the people most prone to court litigation are schizoid, paranoid personalities. [Both chuckle.] 

Quite late, Krishnaji said, “Angels are looking after you. They will look after you after I am gone.” He repeated it.

J. Krishnamurti: The Years of Fulfilment by Mary Lutyens A visist to Frederick Pinter

From the book J. Krishnamurti: The Years of Fulfilment: “…he was in New York where he gave five public talks while staying with an old friend, Frederick Pinter, and his wife, at 200 West 59th Street…” Page 59 🔍 

What this tells us (historical analysis) 

1. Frederick Pinter was part of Krishnamurti’s personal network The phrase “old friend” is key. This places Pinter within Krishnamurti’s inner or trusted circle, not just a casual acquaintance. 

2. He hosted Krishnamurti in New York Address given: 200 West 59th Street (New York City). This suggests: Pinter likely had means and a stable residence in Manhattan. He functioned as a host/supporter for visiting intellectual figures. 

3. Connection to lecture activity During this stay, Krishnamurti: Delivered five public talks Drew unusually large audiences for serious philosophical topics This implies Pinter may have been: Part of the organizational/social network enabling these talks, or At least socially connected to that intellectual circle. 

4. Social/intellectual positioning From context, Frederick Pinter appears to be: A New York–based associate of spiritual/intellectual movements 

Likely connected to: Theosophical circles Philosophical or literary networks around Krishnamurti Possibly part of a patron/supporter class rather than a public figure
