It is recorded that Guru Dev visited the cities at the request of his own guru. It is also said that he resisted being made Shankaracharya for many many years. I have never heard MMY claim that Guru Dev ever spoke about there being a movement such as the TM movement. Quite the contrary in fact. I clearly remember listening to a tape recording of MMY saying something like "He didn't say but he knew. He didn't waste time in planning." But if you doubt me, I can source a verbatim quote, maybe even get you a mp3 of him saying it!
