Seems I recall now the scorpion nation precipitation happened as it became evident and was pointed out to Maharishi who was then holed up in his location with his cultivated groups of upper income followers that some Danish and UK'er TM teachers were out in the field teaching TM to common people for less than the set retail prices then. When these independent rogues then banded together that was seen as really going too far rogue and some really serious treachery too. Maharishi came down on that like a ton of bricks. Damned scorpions. If you "recall" correctly, I guess we now know for sure what "maintain the purity of the teaching" really means. Since these teachers were teaching TM *exactly* the way he taught them to, using the full puja and all, he couldn't have been upset about them "distorting the teaching" in any way. He was upset that they were cutting into his cash flow.
