I think he felt that a big shot like himself needed to be a good yogic flier, so he piled on the meditation, and his behavior became bizarre (although he was said to have become a pretty good hopper) -- it's like that guy on Purusha who felt that he was not doing enough to get enlightened, and started intense meditation that was way beyond what he should have been doing. Ignoring all the warning signs of excessive meditation, he finally flipped out: http://tinyurl.com/4dphk There are people who can handle almost any amount of meditation, but Chopra was not one of them, having been before he started TM just another doctor with plenty stress (and booze/cigarette habits IIRC) stored in his nervous system.
