When I talked to people in India MMY was like some distant celebrity who you could tell didn't know that much about and didn't care that much either. Usually their comments were something to the order of how MMY popularized meditation in the west. But TM wasn't something they would practice.
Dr. Lad was also very well known to MMY and he was MMY's first choice to head MAPI. MMY probably knew many people. And some of those people didn't want anything to do with his movement. When I was in Kerala there was a nearby vaidya who advertised Maharishi Ayurveda. I made a trip to his office but it was not the Maharishi Ayurveda we know and had nothing to do with the movement.
