Well, perhaps you didn't see his behavior as co-opting Maharishi's teachings, but giving people advice on how to make TM-Sidhis practice better, certainly is the kind of thing that I would call "co-opting Maharishi's teaching."
Notice I didnt' mean that he co-opted Maharishi's teachigns as his own, but that he decided he was competent enough to give advice and that it was appropriate for him to do so. Perhaps "co-opt Maharishi's position AS teacher" is a better way of putting it.

Maharishi, not surprisingly, refused to give permission, and Robin gave up. Add: "...refused to give permission or endorse his enlightenment...."
