Radha Rajagopal Sloss grew up in Ojai, California, where her parents and J. Krishnamurti shared a home. Radha is a graduate of the Happy Valley School (now called the Besant Hill School), attended Swarthmore College for two years, BA from Scripps College and received an M.A. in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley.

She has written two published books, India Beyond the Mirror, and Lives in the Shadow with J. Krishnamurti.  She has also written The Happy Valley Foundation's 'in-house' volume entitled The Story of Happy Valley.

Radha's earliest memories include picnics on Happy Valley. She and her husband, James Sloss met in the first year of the Happy Valley School with which they are still associated fifty-eight years later. Radha has served on the Happy Valley Foundation Board since 1986.
