I wouldn't doubt for a second that this is the case, but y'know, MMY always told people to stick to the religion they learned at their mother's knee and not try to become Hindu, and he resisted the call to Hinduize the TMO for a very long time after he made the initial decision to make it a non-denominational spiritual organization, and look how many American and European "Hindu" TM teachers there are. People want a "perfect" system, even while nodding sagely at teaching stories from said "perfect" system that spell out clearly that it isn't perfect and that all the advice of the ancient sages and gods of Ayurveda should be taken with a grain of salt.
