Happy Valley School and Foundation
Rosalind became the director of the Happy Valley School after its inception in 1946, and eventually became president of the Happy Valley Foundation. Krishnamurti disassociated himself from the school in the early 1960s as he became estranged from Rosalind and D. Rajagopal. Their subsequent complete break led to acrimony and lawsuits between D. Rajagopal, the older Krishnamurti organization (Krishnamurti Writings Inc., of which D. Rajagopal was the head), and its trustees on one side, and J. Krishnamurti, the newer Krishnamurti Foundations, and their trustees, on the opposite side. As Rosalind was involved in the disputes, her already-distant and unamiable relationship with Krishnamurti dissolved completely in the face of the legal and personality conflicts. Most of the legal matters were resolved prior to Krishnamurti's death in 1986; however, the three never made up their personal differences. Rosalind died in 1996 having shared a house in Ojai for many years with the artist Beatrice Wood and serving on the Happy Valley Foundation board of directors until 1988.

“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“In a valley late bees with whining gold
Thread summer to the loose ends of sleep....”
