Chopra was selling his books hand-over-fist due to TMO efforts at publicity. A large portion of Purusha was dedicated full-time to promoting him, not to mention many of us field volunteers who saw his potential as a great PR figurehead if promoted properly. CHopra was making a LOT of money off the TMO but bowed out as his fame grew to the point where he no longer needed TMO backing to sell his stuff. He also started pocketing his lecturer's fees, rather than donating them to the Maharishi Ayurveda Foundation. > > > He went on later to get authorized by one of the Shanks I'd heard...
