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.

I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
