Well, actually, two contradictory explanations 
explain why MMY doesn't chase after expatriate 
Indians. One is the explanation you imply, Vaj - 
that they'll see the holes in his teaching.

The other explanation is that MMY is restoring 
knowledge that's been corrupted, and that people 
who've built their lives around the "old" teaching 
are unlikely to embrace the new. To do so would 
be to admit their beliefs have been lies.

Now, what I've just said is the party line, but I can't 
illustrate it with specific examples of teachings in 
classical Hinduism that Maharishi rejects. Is there 
such a case?

By the way, the classic example of the second 
explanation is in Christ's career. He chased after 
Jews for two years before getting wise to the fact 
that they didn't want something new. Only when 
he ministered to an entirely new market, the gentiles, 
did his teaching take off.
