After Guru Dev's 'death' he later went on to assist Maharishi spreading Transcendental Meditation, as I understand it, until he died himself. I attended a course he conducted at Lake Arrowhead in the early 70s and spoke with him individually and privately at least three times, one of which was to receive an advanced technique. I say this mainly to indicate that Satyanand was directly involved with Guru Dev and Maharishi both.
