Perhaps if Jayapataka Maharaja would have waited until he was in a mature stage to take disciples, things would be seen in a different way. You have to remember that he began taking disciples at the age of 29 in 1978 under what now seems rather spurious circumstances. Compare this to most of the sannyasis in the GM derived maths who did not take disciples until they were in their 60s or 70s and after 40 or 50 years of practicing life. I think if the interviewer from the BBC had met one of them, he would have naturally had a more respectful attitude.
